ASCII Group · Peer Groups

Stop making six-figure decisions alone.

12 MSP owners. Monthly meetings. Your actual numbers on the table.

Every month, a small group of non-competing MSP owners sit in a room together and share the numbers, decisions, and problems they can't talk about anywhere else. Vendor choices, pricing structures, growth hires, margin pressure — all of it, openly.

Members consistently describe it as the highest-ROI hour in their month. This is what 1,300+ across North America use to move faster and make better calls.

How It Works

Same group. Real numbers. Every month.
Here's how it works.

A small, consistent group of non-competing MSP owners — meeting monthly, sharing real numbers, solving real problems. The format is what makes it work.

01
Your group. Same people, every month.

You're placed in a group of 8–12 MSP owners at a comparable revenue stage. Same group, every meeting. That consistency is what builds the trust needed to share actual numbers and real problems — not polished versions of them.

02
You bring a real problem. The room solves it.

Every session includes hot seats — structured problem-solving where you put your actual challenge on the table. Not a hypothetical. Not a vague question. A real decision you're facing right now, with 10+ peers who've likely already navigated it.

03
Accountability that actually moves the needle.

You report back on what you committed to last month. That reporting loop — knowing you'll have to front up to peers — is a forcing function that most MSP owners say is worth the membership price alone. Goals stop being aspirational and start getting done.

Inside a Peer Group Meeting

What a typical session looks like.

Real conversations. Structured to produce real decisions — not just discussion.

  • 0–10m
    Wins & updates
    Members share what moved since last month — new contracts, hires, exits, pricing changes. Quick, specific, no fluff.
  • 10–25m
    Benchmarking round
    MRR per tech, pricing for specific service tiers, churn rates. Numbers you can't get from Google — direct from peers at your scale.
  • 25–55m
    Hot seat problem-solving
    One or two members bring a current decision to the room. Vendor switch, growth hire, pricing restructure. The group works through it together.
  • 55–60m
    Commitments for next month
    Each member states one specific thing they'll do before the next meeting. You'll report back. That's the accountability loop.
What Members Get Out of It

The decisions that change when you're not making them alone.

Members don't join for the networking. They stay because the peer group changes how they run their business.

Faster vendor decisions
Stop paying for the wrong stack.

Before committing to an RMM, security platform, or PSA, you ask the room. Not a sales rep — peers who've been live on it for 12 months. What it actually costs to run. What breaks at 200 endpoints. What the support is really like. You get a clear decision, not another demo.

Real pricing benchmarks
Know exactly where your pricing stands.

Most MSPs price by gut feel. Peer groups change that. You get actual numbers from MSPs at your revenue stage, in your market, with your service mix. Managed security rates, per-seat pricing, project margins — from people with no reason to mislead you.

Growth moves that work
Hire right, scale without breaking things.

When you're working through your first vCIO hire, a new service tier, or expanding to a second location — you don't need theory. You need someone who did it six months ago and can tell you what they'd do differently. That's what the room gives you.

Boots on the ground
Cover jobs you can't staff for yourself.

Need a trusted tech in a city you don't have coverage in? ASCII members subcontract across North America — not through a marketplace, through peer relationships built over months of shared sessions. Trust is already established before the first call.

"For me, it was resources — a place where I can ask the community, hey, has anyone seen this problem? Or I need someone in this state, and I don't have boots on the ground. That's really what prompted me to get in with ASCII."

FAQ

Common questions.

How is a peer group different from a forum or online community?

Forums are broadcast — you post a question and whoever happens to be around responds. A peer group is a consistent, small group of people who know your business over time. That continuity is what makes it safe enough to share real numbers and get genuinely useful input, not generic advice.

What happens when I book a session?

A 30-minute conversation with an ASCII member advisor focused entirely on your business right now — vendor decisions, pricing, growth, operations. You'll leave with clear next steps and a straight answer on which peer group fits your stage.

What's the time commitment for membership?

Peer groups meet monthly. Outside of that, you access the full ASCII membership — peer networking, vendor purchasing leverage, marketing support, and education resources. Most members describe it as the highest-ROI hour in their month.

Will I be in a group with competitors?

No. Groups are structured to avoid geographic and market overlap. The point is to create a room where you can share openly — that only works if nobody in the room is competing with you for the same clients.

Is this right for my revenue stage?

If you're actively running clients and working through real vendor, pricing, or growth decisions, the session will be useful. Groups are placed by revenue stage so you're benchmarking against peers at comparable scale — not against someone 10x your size or half your size.
