Written by Matthew Cook | Apr 02, 2025

For mid-market MSPs and staffing firms, winning high-value contracts can feel like a constant tug-of-war. On one side, enterprise players dominate with custom tech and big promises. On the other, small firms race to the bottom on price. But there’s a smarter, more profitable way to stand out: Statement of Work (SOW) solutions. Our new ebook, The Battle for Mid-Market Contracts: How MSPs & Staffing Firms Win with SOW Solutions, shows how SOW models—supported by the right technology—can help you break through the noise, secure bigger deals, and become an indispensable workforce partner.
