AI Workshops for Wholesalers: Build a Workflow for Product Enquiries, Quotes and Account Updates

Hands-on Sunshine Coast workshop. A full day, A$495 excluding GST, capped at 15.

A friendly pencil-drawn robot with a soft rounded body and warm expression welcomes you beside working papers and a yellow pencil.

Your day fills with the same three jobs. A customer asks whether a line is in stock and what it costs at their tier. A quote needs drafting from a list of codes and quantities. An account needs an update on backorders or a changed delivery date. AI workshops for wholesalers work when the session is built around the work your business repeats from your own business, a product enquiry reply, a quote draft or an account update, using your notes, price list and rules to produce a draft you check. Our public Sunshine Coast workshop gives you a full day to put AI to work across your business. For teams, we scope private training around your team's tasks, experience and location.

Key takeaways

  • Bring the work you want AI to handle, a product enquiry reply, a quote draft or an account update. Your business task determines the training example, and we build training around your business tasks, source material and the output you need.
  • Five inputs, Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output, describe the job and give you a basis for checking the draft. You test the workflow on a safe example and check the result against your source material.
  • The public workshop runs a full day in person on the Sunshine Coast at A$495 excluding GST per person, capped at 15 paid attendees.
  • Private training runs at your own workplace on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Noosa, Moreton Bay, Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba and Gympie.
  • Private training is quote-only. A fixed quote follows a conversation about your team's tasks, location and experience, and team size, session length and travel determine the price.

Which repeated wholesale tasks should you bring to an AI workshop?

Bring the job your business repeats. Your business task determines the training example, so a product enquiry reply, a quote draft or an account update each produce a different workflow.

Pick a specific piece of work rather than a category. One enquiry from one trade customer. One quote built from one order sheet. One account update for one stockist. Bring the information that task needs: the notes, the price list, the approved product details.

We teach business owners and teams how to use AI on the work their business repeats, and we build training around your business tasks, source material and the output you need. We work with business owners and teams across industries, so the wholesale version of this session looks like your desk, not a generic demonstration.

How do the five inputs turn a product enquiry into a draft you can check?

A five-input AI prompt hands the assistant your business context, the task, your source material, your rules and the output format. That turns a repeated job into instructions you can run again.

The five inputs are Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output.

  • Context describes the business, customer and situation.
  • Task names the job the AI assistant needs to do.
  • Source supplies the notes, documents or approved facts for that job.
  • Rules set the limits and identify missing information to flag.
  • Output describes the format and information the finished draft needs to contain.

Written out for a quote, the shape looks like this: we're a service business preparing a quote for a homeowner. Turn the supplied site notes into a draft quote. Use only these notes, measurements and the attached price list. Itemise labour and materials. Keep the supplied prices unchanged and flag missing information. Return a scope summary, itemised table, total including GST and questions for me to check. Swap the site notes for an order sheet and the price list for your trade pricing, and the same five inputs carry a wholesale quote.

Then you check the output against the information your business supplied. Compare names, dates, figures and claims with your source. Recalculate totals. Check that the draft answers the request and stays within your scope. The person responsible for the work approves the final version. In the session, participants test the workflow on a safe example and check the result against their source material.

Can you run private AI training onsite for your wholesale team?

Yes. We bring private AI training to your workplace, and the session runs on the tasks your team already shares.

Private onsite AI training is available on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Noosa, Moreton Bay, Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba and Gympie. Sunshine Coast onsite training covers Maroochydore, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Birtinya, Nambour and Coolum.

Private sessions are scoped for roughly 4 to 20 people, and larger teams can be split across sessions. Each person brings the laptop they will use afterwards. Tool and account requirements are confirmed during scoping.

In the session, we help your team agree on the source material, instructions and review process for a repeated task. That way sales, warehouse and accounts work from one set of instructions instead of five. Private AI training

How do you arrange private training, and what does it cost?

Private training is quote-only. After your enquiry, we discuss your team's tasks, location and experience. We agree on the training scope and prepare a fixed quote. Team size, session length and travel determine the price.

If a private session doesn't suit your numbers, people from other areas can travel to the Sunshine Coast public workshop instead. That ticket is A$495 excluding GST per person.

What do published AI programs for distributors offer, and how does our workshop differ?

Published distributor programs attach their AI training to a conference. Conference attendees can extend their learning with three specialised workshops. 1 The pre-show session is complimentary for the first 75 registrants. 2 Two post-show workshops offer intensive, facilitated implementation work. 3

Ours is a standalone full-day session on the Sunshine Coast, capped at 15 paid attendees, built on one task from your own business. We help you build and test a workflow you can use again, on your own laptop, with your own source material.

What AI implementation work stands behind this training?

We build the same workflows in real businesses before we teach them.

We helped automate Radiant Roof Repairs' internal processes using AI. We used AI to automate SEO, enquiries and admin for Glen House Homoeopathy. In our own business, Searchmaxxed, we built AI workflows for creating blog posts, doing SEO and preparing custom proposals.

That work spans several trades and professions. You can see how the same method applies across industries, including roofing, plumbing and electrical, real estate and accounting and bookkeeping.

Frequently asked questions

Who are these AI workshops for?

Business owners and teams. We teach business owners and teams how to use AI on the work their business repeats, and we work with business owners and teams across industries.

Do you need technical experience to attend?

No. We build training around your business tasks, source material and the output you need, and your business task determines the training example.

What should you bring to the workshop?

Bring a laptop, a charger and safe examples of your work. You test the workflow on that safe example during the session, then check the result against your source material. Bring the source material too, because you check the output against the information your business supplied.

What does the A$495 ticket include?

A$495 excluding GST per person covers a full-day in-person session on the Sunshine Coast, capped at 15 paid attendees, working across your business. Included: hands-on help, the setups you build and the instructions you keep.

Is this an online AI course?

No. Our public Sunshine Coast workshop runs in person and gives you a full day to put AI to work across your business. Private training takes place at the team's workplace.

How is this different from free AI tutorials?

You build on your own laptop with hands-on help, on your own task. You keep the instructions and the example you tested during the session.

Can you arrange private AI training for a wholesale team?

Yes. We bring private AI training to your workplace, and a fixed quote follows a conversation about the team's tasks, location and experience. Start with an enquiry

The business down the road is already doing this.

Somewhere in your area, a wholesaler competitor quotes from the ute before they have left the driveway. The enquiry that sits in your inbox until 9pm gets answered from their phone in four minutes. Their reports go out on Friday afternoon while yours wait for the weekend.

They are not smarter. They are not better at the work. They gave AI their prices, their templates and their rules, and now it does the paperwork while they do the job.

Every month you leave that undone, the gap gets wider and harder to close. The owners who set this up in 2026 will spend 2027 winning work from the ones who did not.

You leave with your AI implementation set up.

By 4pm AI is running on your laptop, loaded with your prices, templates and job notes. The jobs you named are built and tested on your own examples.

Every one comes with the written instructions behind it, so the same work runs again next week without me in the room.

What I need from you.

  • Your laptop and its charger.

    The one you will use afterwards, not a spare.

  • Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro, ready to go.

    Bring either Claude or ChatGPT, on the larger tier. Both start at US$100 a month, roughly A$140, and are billed by Anthropic or OpenAI rather than by us. The entry plans run out of capacity part way through a full day of building, which is why the bigger plan is the one to bring. Set it up before the day, or message me and I will walk you through it.

  • Real examples of the work, safe to use.

    A made-up customer, a redacted job, a price list with the numbers changed. Nothing confidential leaves your business.

  • The registration questions, answered properly.

    Three taps and your details to hold the seat, then the brief afterwards. I build your session from them.

  • Doors at 8:45.

    The first thing we do is get AI running on every machine, and I would rather do yours before nine than during.

Do those and everything else is mine to do.

Choose your next step.

Learn to build it yourself, or have us build it for you. Training and implementation are different engagements, so enquire and we will scope the one that fits.

Take one of the 15 seats.

Wednesday 7 October 2026, 9am to 4pm at Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel, The Cove room, Mooloolaba. A$495 excluding GST, added at checkout.

Registration takes under a minute. Three quick questions, then where to send your place. Pay on the spot to hold the seat, or pay from the link in your email after we have spoken. Registration stays open until the seats are taken or the workshop starts.
