Seller Acquisition, fully automated.

Manual seller scouting doesn't scale past twenty contacts

Most marketplaces recruit sellers the hard way. Someone searches Etsy, Instagram, or Google for three hours. They copy seventy URLs into a spreadsheet. They draft a generic pitch. They send it from a personal Gmail account and hope for a four percent reply rate. The process breaks when you need two hundred sellers instead of twenty. Your team burns weekends building lists that go stale in days. Half the contacts are inactive. A quarter are already selling on a competitor platform. Nobody tracks who replied, who ghosted, or who needs a follow-up in two weeks. Scaling seller acquisition software beyond manual outreach requires three capabilities: discovery that runs while you sleep, confidence scoring that separates real prospects from noise, and lifecycle tracking that remembers every conversation. Without all three, you are hiring interns to copy and paste.

Discovery, scoring, review, send. One engine, zero spreadsheets.

CortexViral's Seller Acquisition Engine replaces the entire manual workflow. You define your ideal seller profile once. Product category, revenue signal, social follower range, location, marketplace presence. The Scout team searches across Etsy, Shopify, Instagram, TikTok, and Google in parallel. Every discovered profile lands in the Review Queue with a three-band confidence score. Green means strong product-market fit, active inventory, and verified contact info. Yellow flags minor gaps like sparse social proof or unclear fulfillment capacity. Red surfaces mismatches: wrong category, dormant shop, or duplicate outreach risk. You approve green prospects in bulk or drill into yellow cases one by one. Once approved, the Creator team generates a personalized audit for each seller. Product photography grade, SEO opportunity count, comparable bestseller revenue estimate. The audit attaches to the outreach message as a PDF. Send happens on your schedule or auto-releases at the optimal day and hour.

• Scout finds sellers across five platforms simultaneously
• Three-band scoring ranks every prospect before you see them
• Personalized audits show sellers exactly what they gain
• Review Queue lets you approve in bulk or inspect edge cases
• Lifecycle tracker remembers reply status and next follow-up date

Green, yellow, red. Know which prospects deserve your time.

Not every discovered seller is worth contacting. CortexViral scores each prospect across eight dimensions: product category match, inventory freshness, contact data validity, social proof volume, competitive marketplace presence, fulfillment signals, brand consistency, and duplicate risk. Green prospects score seventy-five or higher out of one hundred. They match your ideal seller profile, maintain active inventory, and show no signs of dormancy. Approve fifty green prospects in one click and the system queues personalized outreach for all fifty. Yellow prospects score forty to seventy-four. Maybe the shop launched six months ago and lacks reviews. Maybe the contact email bounced once but a backup exists. You decide whether to approve, skip, or request more Intelligence research. Red prospects score below forty. Wrong product vertical, zero inventory updates in ninety days, already selling on your platform, or flagged as a known bad actor. The system hides red by default so you never waste time on junk leads.

Every message includes a custom audit the seller actually wants to read

Generic cold emails die in the inbox. CortexViral attaches a one-page seller audit to every outreach message. The Intelligence team analyzes the prospect's existing storefront, product photography, pricing strategy, SEO metadata, and competitive positioning. The audit calls out three to five high-impact opportunities. Better hero images could lift conversion eleven percent. Keyword optimization might double organic search traffic. Comparable bestsellers in the same category earn four times current revenue. Each opportunity includes a concrete next step. Sellers open these messages because the subject line references their shop by name and the attachment solves a real problem. Reply rates jump from four percent to nineteen percent when the first sentence proves you studied their business. The audit costs you zero extra time because Creator generates it automatically from the same data Scout collected during discovery.

Review Queue ensures quality before any message leaves the platform

Full autonomy sounds appealing until a bad prospect damages your brand. CortexViral defaults to L3 autonomy for seller acquisition: the system discovers and scores prospects, drafts personalized outreach, and queues everything in the Review Queue. You click approve and messages send. You maintain control without doing the research. The Review Queue surfaces Prospect Intelligence Cards for every candidate. Confidence score, discovery source, contact validation status, competitive overlap check, and generated audit preview. Sort by score, filter by category, bulk-approve green prospects, or drill into individual yellow cases. Recommended Action sits at the top of the queue. It calculates which fifty prospects offer the highest expected value based on confidence score, category demand, and reply probability. Approve the top fifty in one click and you just launched a campaign that would have taken your team two weeks to build manually. The Queue remembers your approval patterns and surfaces better recommendations over time.

From cold prospect to active seller, one dashboard tracks the entire journey

Seller acquisition does not end when the first message sends. CortexViral tracks reply status, follow-up cadence, onboarding progress, and first-sale milestones inside a unified Lifecycle Tracker. You see which prospects opened the audit, which replied with questions, which agreed to a call, and which went dark after initial interest. The Operator team auto-schedules follow-ups based on engagement signals. No reply after five days triggers a gentle check-in. A reply asking about commission structure routes to your sales queue with full context attached. A seller who completes onboarding but hasn't listed a product gets a activation nudge on day fourteen. This closed-loop tracking integrates with the same AI Marketing Operating System that runs your content calendar and competitor monitoring. Seller data flows into campaign targeting, Creator references new seller success stories in social posts, and Intelligence flags when a recruited seller launches a breakout product. Manual CRMs force you to rebuild context every time you switch tools. CortexViral remembers everything because seller acquisition lives inside the same brain that runs the rest of your marketing.
