Everyone's Talking About AI, But Nobody's Telling You What Actually Works for Channel Partners

If you're a VAR or systems integrator in communications or IT infrastructure, I'll show you which AI tools can save you 10+ hours per week and cut support costs by 30-40%—and which ones are just expensive science experiments.

Former Motorola Solutions and Cisco channel consultant. I've spent 15 years helping partners like you adopt new technology. Now I'm helping you figure out AI—practical tools that already exist, not hype.

It Doesn't Break Overnight—It Compounds

The slow drift from "manageable" to "we're stuck."

1
You React to RFPs
Opportunities drive you—rather than the other way around.
What's happening
Bids get pursued based on what's seen first, not what's most winnable.
Why it matters
Pre-sales time becomes the bottleneck—and win rates stay flat.
Early signal
"We're always scrambling near deadlines."
AI leverage point
Automated discovery + fit scoring + fast summaries for go/no-go.
2
Support Becomes the Default
Your team spends more time answering than building.
What's happening
Tier-1 tickets and after-hours questions pile up and pull senior staff in.
Why it matters
Margin erodes quietly—then suddenly.
Early signal
"We can't get ahead of the queue."
AI leverage point
AI triage, self-serve answers, and smarter routing with human handoff.
3
Your Best People Bottleneck
SEs, PMs, and tech leads become the system.
What's happening
The same few people write proposals, troubleshoot edge cases, and unblock projects.
Why it matters
Scaling requires cloning your best people—which you can't do.
Early signal
"Everything waits for two people."
AI leverage point
Reusable proposal modules + knowledge assistant + automated documentation capture.
4
Margin Whiplash
Pricing becomes inconsistent under pressure.
What's happening
Discounting decisions vary by rep; deals are won and lost by small spreads.
Why it matters
Forecasting gets unreliable and profitability becomes a surprise.
Early signal
"We won, but we're not sure it was worth it."
AI leverage point
Win/loss patterning + pricing guardrails + approval workflows.
5
Competitor Feels "Faster"
They look more modern—even if their tech isn't better.
What's happening
Another partner responds quicker, packages clearer options, and provides faster answers.
Why it matters
Customers equate speed + clarity with capability and trust.
Early signal
"We're being asked why we can't do what others do."
AI leverage point
Package 1–2 AI-enabled offers + enablement so your team can sell/support them confidently.

Stop the drift before it becomes a problem.
