Is Your IT Provider Failing You? The Cost of Bad IT Support (And How to Fix It)

Picture this: You walk into work, coffee in hand, ready to take on the day. Then—boom. The internet is down. Emails aren't sending. Your entire team is stuck.

πŸ”΄ No client orders.
πŸ”΄ No customer support.
πŸ”΄ No way to get work done.

Your business is dead in the water—and every minute of downtime costs you money.

If this feels all too familiar, you might be paying for bad IT support—and it's costing you thousands.


🚨 Why Poor IT Support is More Than Just Annoying—It's a Business Killer

πŸ’€ MGM's $100M Cybersecurity Disaster
Still think "IT problems" are just small inconveniences? Just ask MGM Resorts, whose cyberattack in 2023 led to:

πŸ”Ή Hotel room key failures (thousands locked out)
πŸ”Ή Casino shutdowns (millions in lost revenue)
πŸ”Ή Website and reservation system failures

πŸ’° Total losses? Over $100 million.

While your business might not be a casino empire, the same risks apply: downtime, weak cybersecurity, and bad IT management bleed money.


πŸ”₯ 10 Signs Your IT Provider is Failing You

Your IT provider should be stopping problems before they happen—not waiting for you to call when something breaks.

πŸ›‘ IT Support Red Flags:

❌ You wait on hold or play voicemail tag when IT issues hit
❌ It takes hours (or days) to fix simple problems
❌ Your team is dealing with constant password issues, slow computers, and lost files
❌ Nobody knows if your data backups actually work
❌ Your IT provider only reacts to issues instead of preventing them
❌ You have no real cybersecurity strategy—and no employee security training
❌ You have no clue what you're paying for because invoices are vague
❌ Your IT company speaks in "geek talk" instead of plain English
❌ They don't plan for your future growth—just put out fires
❌ You have no idea if your business is secure from cyberattacks

πŸ‘‰ If even ONE of these sounds familiar, you need better IT support.


πŸ” The IT Checklist: What You SHOULD Expect from a Top-Tier IT Provider

A real IT partner does more than fix what's broken—they eliminate problems before they start and keep your business secure, efficient, and running smoothly.

βœ… Fast, Live Support - No waiting on hold. Emergencies answered in minutes.
βœ… Proactive Monitoring & Patching - Fix security holes before hackers find them.
βœ… Daily Data Backups - Full backups, including all employee devices.
βœ… Quarterly Strategy Reviews - IT should scale with your business growth.
βœ… Cybersecurity Training for Employees - Because human error is your biggest security risk.
βœ… Clear, No-BS Billing - No hidden fees, no confusing invoices.
βœ… Easy-to-Understand IT Advice - No geek-speak, just clear recommendations.
βœ… Disaster Recovery Planning & Testing - Because an untested backup isn't a backup.


⚠️ The Hidden Cost of Bad IT: Your Business is Already Paying for It

If your IT provider isn't keeping up, you're already losing money.

πŸ’° IT downtime costs businesses an average of $5,600 per minute.
πŸ’° Cyberattacks cost small businesses over $200,000 per incident.
πŸ’° Unproductive employees cost companies thousands in wasted hours.
