Hey there, time traveller!

An international business that was incubated at The Eureka Project has sold its Las Vegas call centre operations to EBQuickstart of Austin, Texas.
The deal to acquire Everywhere Managed LLC, a subsidiary of Managed Sales Pros LLC, was three years in the making, MSP CEO Carrie Simpson said.
“Their organization is well known and trusted in the MSP space, and their business model and priorities are closely aligned to ours,” EBQuickstart’s CEO Tim Edwards said in a statement.
Simpson founded Managed Sales Pros in Winnipeg in 2014 as an outsourced lead generation company. Managed Sales Pros’ early clients were technology startups in Manitoba that were supported by the Eureka Project (now North Forge Technology Exchange) as well as Skip The Dishes in its infancy. MSP focused on the Information Technology Channel as a target market. MSP’s first client was Manitoba-based managed IT services provider, 365Technologies.
In 2016, Simpson, along with her sister, Tracie Orisko, and her mother, Sharon Lagace, launched Everywhere Managed to expand the business into the United States, where they provided U.S.-based support to companies such as Cisco, Datto and SnapAV. The company experienced double-digit growth until EBQ came calling. Terms of the acquisition were undisclosed.
Besides her sales team and family, Simpson sent a shout out to Gary Brownstone, who mentored her when he was the CEO of the Eureka Project. “Thank you — you’re all rock stars,” said Simpson, who splits her time between Winnipeg, Las Vegas, Michigan and Cancun.
When asked what she was planning next, Simpson indicated “she’s solving a major content marketing challenge for IT companies” and will be launching this new service in the weeks to come.
EBQuickstart’s Edwards said the multi-year pursuit of EveryWhere Managed was well worth it.
“Carrie and her team built an amazing portfolio of customers, and we could not be more excited to have them as part of EBQ. We look forward to building upon their success and bringing their clients and brand into EBQ.”
