Give a business evaluating your managed services a separate route to discuss fit. Keep the two destinations visible on your MSP website. Start with a small page plan and two received-message checks. The structure below is a recommendation for an IT provider. It describes no measured improvement in inquiries. ## Name the visitor's task before naming a tool Place a plainly labeled **Existing client support** link beside **Discuss managed IT services**. Use the support destination your service desk has approved. Keep the sales destination with the person who evaluates new engagements. Under the support link, state the actual contact arrangement and hours approved for public use. If emergency instructions differ by contract, direct clients to their agreed support instructions. Avoid publishing private escalation numbers or credentials. For prospects, explain who you serve, what you manage, where on-site work is available, and what an initial conversation covers. Have the service owner confirm each statement. A service you can discuss as a separate project should not appear automatically included in a managed agreement. ## Build service pages around decisions a buyer can make Use this proposed page brief for each service you sell: | Page element | Question to resolve before writing | | --- | --- | | Service scope | Which tasks are included in this offer? | | Customer fit | Which business requirements can you evaluate? | | Delivery arrangement | What is remote, on-site, or separately scoped? | | Starting process | What information is needed before a proposal? | | Limits | Which commitments require a signed agreement? | | Next action | Who receives a prospect's question? | Keep availability, response targets, and resolution commitments distinct. Publish only the wording the commercial owner has approved. Leave a proposed service out until its delivery owner confirms it. Use descriptive navigation such as **Managed IT**, **Backup services**, or **IT projects** only when those describe your offer. Avoid making a visitor decode internal service names before finding the relevant explanation. ## Ask prospects for context they can safely provide For the initial sales form, consider business name, work contact, location, approximate staff or device count, the problem, and desired timing. Allow approximate answers and an option for uncertainty. Explain that the form is for sales inquiries. Tell visitors to omit passwords, recovery codes, private network diagrams, and incident attachments. Arrange any later technical exchange through the process your team approves. W3C recommends labels that identify each form control and describe its purpose. [W3C form labels, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/). Ask the builder to preserve the service page that led to the request. Display a concise explanation of the next step. Use a confirmation that acknowledges receipt only when the receiving process supports that statement. ## Keep support submissions out of the sales conversation If support remains in a separate portal, identify the destination before the visitor leaves the site. Provide an approved alternative when the portal is unavailable. Ask the service desk what instructions belong on the public page. Avoid a public field asking for tenant administrator credentials. Route account changes and identity checks through the established client process. A support link on a website does not establish the sender's authority. Give the sales recipient an internal procedure for misdirected requests. Have staff identify the correct client channel without treating a sales form as an authorized incident ticket. ## Accept the paths by inspecting what arrives Arrange tests with both receiving owners. Use invented business details and contact addresses you control. Do not use a real outage or private client information. | Test | Evidence to retain | | --- | --- | | Prospect arrives from a service page | Sales receives the service, question, and reply details | | Client chooses support | Approved support destination opens and explains its purpose | | Required field is missing | Visitor receives a useful correction instruction | | Submission fails | Page does not claim successful delivery | | Visitor uses a phone or keyboard | Labels, links, and controls remain usable | W3C recommends clear feedback for successful submissions and errors. [W3C submission notifications, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/notifications/). Inspect the received request separately from the website message. The [IT and managed service provider page](/for/it-and-managed-service-providers) connects the public website with the records behind your work.
