Everyone knows it - spoken agreements aren t worth the paper they re written on. The SMB Consultant is facing changes we never imagined a few years ago. Managed services are everywhere. Franchised tech support is taking off. And now big corporations are trying to compete in the SMB Space. Whether you like it or not, you need to make some changes in order to meet the challenges of the next few years. Service agreements literally define your business. If you re not using them, you need to start today. If you are using them, great! Just make sure that they truly represent who you are and how you want to define your business. Whether you sell your services hourly, in blocks of time, or with a Managed Services plan, you need a good service agreement. You need this book! As with his other books, Karl gives you more than just the forms. This book includes best practices and lots of great information to help you run your business more prosperously! Includes downloads of all the critical forms and agreements! Review: You can download the extras - I don't know why there are all these reviews that say you cannot download the content. Just do what it says in the book. Go to (...) and register. You will have to send a copy of your desertcart invoice to prove you own the book. Personally I like this better than including a CD. That would probably add cost to the book. Anyway, this is a great book. I'm about halfway through, and it has really helped me understand the importance of service agreements. Review: Great read and examples. - Great read and examples. Again, no general common sense advice but direct advice. Perfect book for all types of consultant.

You can download the extras
I don't know why there are all these reviews that say you cannot download the content. Just do what it says in the book. Go to (...) and register. You will have to send a copy of your Amazon invoice to prove you own the book. Personally I like this better than including a CD. That would probably add cost to the book. Anyway, this is a great book. I'm about halfway through, and it has really helped me understand the importance of service agreements.

Good content but you won't received the promised material.
Its a good book with some good content and I appreciate the way its concisely but yet thoroughly conveyed. However, like another review, you will not receive the online content purchasing it from Amazon and you will receive no responses emailing the links on his website. I did purchase some of his others books from his website and was able to download the promised content. For this book I actually purchased it twice, once from Amazon to read and once from his website to obtain the downloaded forms. The website functions as an automated selling machine, with no support behind it. Ironic. But kudos to the author, he is selling a product. a good one.

Good book, but don't expect to receive the CD & online content
This is a decent book that provides some good information, however it does not come with the CD containing digital copies of the agreements. Nobody answers requests for access to the online content that the book promises as part of your purchase. Karl does not respond on Twitter. There's really no way to get any of the content in a digital format. Be prepared to type out anything you find useful.

Now it's time to put it to work
I just completed this book and I found that it had many good ideas... and not just about SLA's. It seems that most books in this sector (Managed Services) are on the expensive side, but I believe that the content of the book as well as the CD make it a fair price. The key for me is how well/easily I can implement the idea's contained within this book. If I have the time I'll do a follow up to this review. But for now, as far as an informative read goes, this book is worth the time and money.

A great template to build on
This book gives you plenty to think about and some templates to get you started on your journey to becoming an MSP instead of a break / fix technician.
