I'm not sure I understand the point of view for this. The IT Service PRovider / MSP is going to recommend, implement and maintain a good BCP for their client; at least from the technical perspective.

There could be non-IT functions such as a communication plan if people can't get to work. Like we had during the Thailand floods - every few days we'd reassess the situation, and make sure everyone was prepared - and we were prepared to keep working in a chanced situation. 

What would some examples of these tips be?

Sure, 

Some tips include: 

- Train your employees to ensure they know their roles and how the plan will be implemented during a disaster. 

- Establish communication channels, so employees will be able to communicate during times of crisis. 

- Review your plan and update for changes in technology, environment.
