#58 – From the Trenches: M&A, Re-Signing Clients & Enterprise Value (David Spire – Entech)
from The BMK Vision Podcast · host Josh Peterson
What really happens after the deal closes? In this episode of the BMK Vision Podcast – From the Trenches, Josh Peterson sits down with David Spire, Chief Transformation Officer at Entech, to talk about scaling through M&A, re-signing legacy clients, and building a sales engine that actually supports enterprise value—rather than just buying your way to a number. David shares his journey from MSP founder to merger with Entech, a Florida-based platform MSP backed by private equity. He explains how he moved from owner to CRO and now Chief Transformation Officer, where he leads M&A integration, sales structure, and cross-functional change projects that keep growth disciplined instead of chaotic. ⸻ 🎙 What We Cover in This Episode • Why David sold and merged his MSP into Entech—and why he’s still there years later • The emotional and practical challenges of moving from owner to partner • How effective hourly rate and agreement gross profit became non-negotiable metrics • Why Entech forces 3–5-year-old contracts back to the table for re-signing • Using “dirty invoices” and floors-with-no-ceilings to fix underpriced agreements • Hiring philosophy: junior sellers + strong system vs “hero” senior sales reps • How acquisition integration runs on a 6-month, 30/60/90 project plan • Why buying a company too close to your size often creates “sibling rivalry” • The role of organic sales in building real enterprise value before and after PE capital • Lessons from dozens of re-signs and multiple acquisitions MSPs can apply today Plus: David’s perspective on culture, leadership, and why predictability in systems matters more than personality in sales. ⸻ 👤 Guest Links Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/entech-david/ Company Website: https://www.entechus.com/ ⸻ 🚀 Subscribe & Follow BMK Vision YouTube (Video Podcast): https://www.youtube.com/@beringmckinleyvision?sub_confirmation=1 Learn More About the Vision Platform: https://beringmckinley.com/vision Apply to Be a Guest: https://beringmckinley.com/bering-mckinley-podcast-blog
