Vendor Co-Sell Engine: Use AI to Turn Vendor Portals into Revenue Signals
Most technology advisors know there’s money left on the table inside vendor portals, rebates, and short-term promos — but tracking them across dozens of suppliers is impossible by hand. In this episode Bob interviews a practitioner who built a practical, low-cost ‘Vendor Co-Sell Engine’ that scrapes vendor signals, normalizes commissions and promotions, matches them to an advisor’s client book, and auto-generates 1:1 outreach sequences and playbooks. You’ll get a step-by-step blueprint: what signals to capture, how to prioritize opportunities, simple templates to convert outreach into meetings, and a 30/60/90 day pilot you can run with minimal engineering. The goal is tactical: teach a repeatable process you can implement in a week, solve vendor overwhelm, and move advisors to action with measurable uplift in closed deals and monetized relationships.
