Close a $10,000 sponsorship deal from my inbox in about four hours

Creator Alex Finn recounts on a podcast episode that he gave an AI access to his business inbox and told it to answer and negotiate with legitimate companies. Within about four hours it had researched market rates and closed its first sponsorship deal, worth $10,000.

$10,000

How it works

  1. Connect the business inbox
  2. Verify the sender is a real company and ignore spam
  3. Research comparable market rates
  4. Draft a reply with a proposed rate
  5. Make one clear counteroffer
  6. Surface the deal for human approval before the final send
  7. Deal closed at $10,000 in about four hours

Why it’s worth knowing

An inbox bot priced and negotiated a five-figure sponsorship to a close on its own in hours.
