Charlotte · Oct 20-22, 2026
Learn how to walk into a business, identify where the opportunity is, turn what you find into a solution they’ll pay for, implement it, and protect it. Charlotte is a three-day implementation intensive designed to help you become the strategic partner businesses rely on for all things digital.
Because the more of the business you know how to solve, the more valuable you become to the client.
Assess it. Monetize it. Implement it. Protect it.
For the people ready to turn what they know into more ways to create value, solve problems, and grow inside the businesses they serve.
What you'll get in the 3-day event
The opportunity isn’t knowing more tools. It’s being able to see more opportunity. To look across marketing, sales, operations, software, automation, AI, security and compliance and recognize where you can create value, and how to turn that value into something the client will pay for.
That’s what we’re building in Charlotte. Not three days of information. Three days of learning how to assess what a business needs, build the right solution, monetize the work, and create a client relationship that can keep expanding.
Stop guessing what works. We'll hand you the proven framework our private clients pay $2,000/month to access. The same one behind 50-200% recurring revenue growth for the businesses we coach.
While your competitors fight over price, you'll discover how to position yourself as the premium choice and attract clients who pay 2-3x more for the same services.
Forget pushy sales tactics. This is the founder's approach to closing deals: repeatable, and actually enjoyable.
Break free from the self-limiting beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck at your current revenue level. We'll expose the hidden patterns holding you back and give you the tools to overcome them.
You don't have to wait months to see results. We'll show you exactly what to do starting tomorrow to see new revenue within weeks.
Adds $5K to $10K a month without losing a single client.
Reactivates dead leads and generates instant opportunities.
Compounds into massive growth.
Most owners are undercharging by 30-50%. We'll show you how to correct this without triggering a mass exodus. In fact, your clients will thank you.
You don't have to work harder to be successful. You have to do the right things every single day, measure the results, and improve. We'll show you the exact metrics and routines that predictably double recurring revenue.
See proof that this isn't just theory. We'll walk through multiple real-world examples of businesses that achieved 2X growth and show you exactly how they did it.
And that’s only one layer of the opportunity. Because when you can help a client grow and identify what needs to happen across the rest of their digital business, you stop being another vendor they hire for one thing. You become the person they bring into the bigger conversation.
Real results
Owners are landing better-qualified leads, closing bigger deals, and running sales systems that hold up when they stop pushing them by hand.

Your speakers
You’re not coming to Charlotte to spend three days watching people talk about what works. You’re coming to build alongside people who have spent years solving these problems inside real businesses, and have them in the room while you apply it to yours. From sales to systems to leadership, Chris, Lindsey, Laura, Bryan and Peter will walk you through the exact strategies that turn stuck businesses into scalable, profitable ones.
Chris has over 30 years of Technology industry experience, has scaled and sold his own MSP, and has touted several major accomplishments such as: 2-time achievement of top spot on the INC 5000 list, having a scholarship in his honor at his alma mater, being a MULTIPLE 2ccx winner, and scaling his businesses revenue 2416% in the last 3 years in a tumultuous industry.
Chris has also been featured on The Entrepreneurs Radio Show, School for Startups Radio, SmallBizAmerica Radio and multiple network news stations including ABC, FOX, CNBC and NBC news.
Chris is a 10x best-selling author with ALL of his books holding a #1 spot on Amazon.

As Co-Founder of Profits Mastery, Bryan coaches MSP owners on the leadership decisions behind a scalable, profitable MSP. His coaching comes from running an MSP through the same pricing pressure, margin questions, hiring decisions and owner-dependence problems his clients are working through.
Bryan coaches every Profits Mastery pod himself, so the person reviewing an owner’s numbers each week has answered the same questions with his own payroll on the line.

Less time watching from your seat. More time building with us in the room.

He has a proven track record of driving partner growth and revenue, most recently as Channel Sales Manager at OpenText. During his time there, he oversaw the North American sales team, while recruiting and training channel partners across its ecosystem.

As the digital landscape expands beyond traditional firewalls and endpoints, today’s MSPs face a critical turning point: traditional, siloed email management is no longer sustainable. Mandatory compliance mandates, fragmented sending streams, and rising domain impersonation have turned deliverability into a major operational headache and a hidden liability for your clients.
You will discover how to transition from reactive troubleshooting across disconnected portals to a proactive, centralized Email Trust Platform anchored in four strategic pillars: Authentication, DNS Management, Sender Insights, and Threat Intelligence.
Furthermore, we’ll unveil TouchPoint, a built-in lead generation engine that translates public domain telemetry into pre-qualified, high-intent sales opportunities, enabling your team to diagnose client risks instantly, eliminate manual service desk labor, and capture high-margin MRR at scale.
Austin Hooper is an Account Executive at Atakama, helping managed service providers strengthen their clients’ security through modern browser security solutions. Passionate about technology, sales, and building meaningful relationships, he enjoys simplifying complex security challenges. Outside of work, Austin is a devoted father with interests in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, American history, and connecting people through shared interests and community.
Please join Atakama for a practical discussion on why Shadow AI has made the browser one of the most significant blind spots in today’s security stack. As employees increasingly use AI tools, SaaS applications, web portals, and cloud-based workflows, sensitive data and business activity are moving directly through the browser session; often without IT or security oversight.
We will examine the emerging threats security teams need to address, including unsanctioned AI usage, SaaS sprawl, risky browser extensions, credential exposure, and browser-based data leakage. Attendees will learn how browser security can provide the visibility, governance, and policy enforcement needed to protect users and data while complementing the security tools already in place.

Every business owner in this room is being asked to bolt AI onto their service stack and at the same time, cybercriminals are being asked by their cybercrime bosses to do the same.
Similar to how we are all reaping the benefits of AI for good, cybercriminals are using it to deliver new cyber attacks at record speed.
In this session, MSP owners and business professionals will learn about the latest AI-based cyber attacks, the impact on clients just like yours, and how complete cybersecurity protection is becoming the new norm for keeping businesses running and the livelihood’s of your clients safe.

Walk in knowing what you do today. Walk out knowing how to create more value inside a business tomorrow with a go-to-market strategy, growth plan, and the guardrails to run both. This is a hands-on immersion in a close-knit room, and you will spend most of the three days working.
See the opportunity hiding inside the business.
Learn how to walk into a business, understand where they are today, and uncover where growth, technology, and digital transformation can take them next.
You’ll build the assessment, discovery, and sales conversations that position you as the all things digital strategic partner, the person who doesn’t just wait for the client to tell you what they need, but can show them what’s possible and where to go next.
Turn what you uncover into something they’ll pay you to build.
Once you can see the opportunity, you need to know what to do with it.
Leads. Marketing. Operations. Automation. Software. Development. AI.
You’ll learn how to choose the right solution for what you uncovered, map how you’ll deliver it, and turn one solved problem into a deeper, more valuable client relationship.
You’re no longer limited to selling the one thing you’ve always sold. You can solve what the business actually needs.
Become the person they trust to protect what gets built.
Implementation is only the beginning.
As businesses adopt more AI, automation, and digital systems, they need someone who understands the risks, rules, and guardrails that come with them.
You’ll learn the foundations of AI governance, compliance, security, SOC 2, and emerging requirements across the US, UK, and Canada, so you can help clients not only build what’s next, but protect it.
That’s how you go from the person who implements the solution to the strategic partner they keep in the room.
Every phase is built as a workshop. You get in, get your hands dirty, and execute in the room: writing your strategy, building your plan, and pressure testing it against the people sitting next to you. The room is mixed on purpose, so expect IT providers, marketing and ads agencies, software developers and service businesses all working the same three phases.

The goal isn’t to leave Charlotte feeling inspired by what you could do. It’s to leave already having done the work.
You leave with more than information. You leave more capable of walking into a business, seeing what it needs, and knowing how to turn that need into value.

Three days. One room. Become the person who can see the opportunity, build the solution, monetize the work, and protect what gets implemented.
