Automating Vendor Vetting: Using Assumed Seeds With ChatGPT's Operator

Everyone in the lead generation business knows that partnerships and quality make or break businesses. From a lead generator working with affiliates or a company purchasing leads, your partners and vendors must handle data responsibly to maintain compliance and protect your brand reputation. Today, we're exploring an innovative approach to vendor vetting that combines Assumed Seeds with ChatGPT's Operator functionality to automate this important but often tedious process.

Why Vendor Vetting Matters

Working with new vendors or affiliates always carries inherent risks for lead generation companies. You need to verify that exclusive leads are being sold exclusively to you, guarantee lead data isn't mishandled or abused, confirm contact rates and communication methods align with agreements and validate that partners follow compliance guidelines. That may sound like a lot, especially with traditional manual vetting processes that can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring staff to individually create test leads, submit them through partner forms and monitor the resulting activities.

Vetting With Assumed Seeds

Assumed provides a powerful solution for tracking how your leads are handled. These specially created contact profiles allow you to monitor contact rates, the number of calls received, what those calls were, text message frequency, email communication and which companies are reaching out. Most importantly, they give you insight into the timing of contact attempts because we all know some bad actors will call a lead over 300 times in 2 days. By submitting an Assumed Seed through your partner’s lead form, you can see exactly how they handle data and whether they adhere to your agreements.

Automating The Process With ChatGPT's Operator

While Assumed Seeds are valuable tools, the traditional process of implementing them can be manual and time-consuming. This is where ChatGPT's Operator functionality comes in to automate this workflow.

Here's how to implement automated vendor vetting using Assumed Seeds and ChatGPT's Operator:

1. Set Up Your Assumed Account

First, you need an active Assumed account with appropriate access levels. You'll need this to purchase and manage your seed contacts.

2. Prepare Your ChatGPT Operator Prompt

Create a comprehensive prompt that includes:

• Navigation instructions to reach the contact creation page
• Adding specific labels for each contact
• Target landing page URLs where seeds will be submitted

3. Purchase And Submit Seeds

* Disclaimer - When using AI tools, especially when giving sensitive information such as logins and passwords, users should strongly consider the security implications before utilizing AI tools and technologies such as ChatGPT Operator and adhere to relevant laws and best practices. When using technologies that require the input of sensitive data to log in to the application, it is important to use unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication for the AI account such as your OpenAI account, consider using new logins or accounts that Operator can use, not saving credit card or sensitive information to applications the AI has access to and manage privacy settings diligently.

The automated process will:

1. Log into your Assumed account
2. Navigate to the contact creation page
3. Order a new seed contact
4. Copy the seed's details
5. Navigate to your target form
6. Auto-fill the form with the seed data
7. Submit the form

4. Monitor And Track Results

After submission, you can:

1. Access your Assumed inbox to view all communications
2. Check contact rates and timing
3. Monitor which companies are reaching out
4. Document any compliance issues

You will also receive daily or weekly emails, depending on your notification setting in Assumed.

5. Scale Your Monitoring

Once you've tried this and worked out any differences in the prompts:

1. Scale the number of vendors and partners vetted
2. Create a schedule for regular checks
3. Add additional vendor forms to your automation
4. Adjust monitoring frequency based on risk levels
5. Document all findings for compliance purposes

Benefits Of Automated Vendor Vetting

Vetting vendors and partners has many benefits, especially when automated. First, it provides efficiency at scale, reduces manual data entry time, and frees up staff for strategic tasks. Most importantly, it helps mitigate risks through early detection of compliance issues, documentation of partner activities and protection against data misuse.

This automation can translate into substantial time savings for companies handling large volumes of leads or working with multiple partners while providing better oversight of your data handling. Whether with Operator or not, you can start vetting your partners and vendors today using Assumed Seeds
