340b Prospect Signal Agent
You know the seven 340B publications and podcasts where your prospects speak. You stopped checking them when you got busy, so pharmacy directors quoted on Inside 340B Report or Drug Channels never become outreach hooks. Your Instantly campaigns use generic HRSA contact lists. You miss timely, personalized signals tied to what your prospects actually said publicly.
Every new episode and article from your seven sources is transcribed and parsed automatically. Pharmacy directors and covered-entity leaders are identified by name and role. Verbatim quotes with timestamps appear in your dashboard within minutes. You copy a markdown snippet into Instantly that says, 'I heard you on Inside 340B Report discussing contract-pharmacy margins. Curious how your current TPA setup compares.' No more generic outreach.

Pharmacy directors and CE leaders quoted in industry publications never become personalized cold-email openers
Every pharmacy director quoted becomes a copy-ready email opener.
Hourly polling of all seven 340B publications and podcasts. New signals appear in your dashboard within minutes of publication.
Identifies pharmacy directors, hospital executives, FQHC leaders, and other covered-entity decision-makers by name, role, and organization from transcripts and articles.
Extracts 2-3 direct quotable moments per signal. For podcasts, includes MM:SS timestamps so you can spot-check context before sending.

340b Prospect Signal Agent transcribes every new episode and article from your seven sources, identifies pharmacy directors and covered-entity leaders by name and role, extracts verbatim quotes with timestamps, and delivers markdown snippets. Each snippet shows the person's organization, two or three direct quotable moments, and a one-line email opener you paste into Instantly. No more generic HRSA outreach. Every email references what your prospect said publicly last week.
From podcast episode to outreach hook in one workflow.
340b Prospect Signal Agent runs continuously in the background, monitoring your sources and surfacing signals as they happen. You review new signals in a single dashboard, filter by source or person, and copy markdown snippets into your email campaigns.
Hourly polling of Drug Channels RSS, 340B Health Newsroom articles, 340B Insight podcast with PDF transcripts, Inside 340B Report audio, 340B Unscripted audio, 340Banter audio, and 340B Report (via email digest or YouTube descriptions). New items are ingested and queued for processing within minutes of publication.
For articles, extract full text from RSS feeds. For podcasts without published transcripts, transcribe audio automatically using Whisper or Deepgram. For 340B Insight, pull the published PDF transcript instead. Store raw transcripts in the database for re-processing if extraction rules improve.
AI extracts named entities (person, role, organization) from transcripts and articles. A second pass qualifies each person against your ICP: pharmacy director or equivalent role at a hospital, FQHC, or other covered entity. Also surface industry voices (regulators, policy analysts, competing TPAs) tagged separately for awareness monitoring.
Cross-reference named individuals against the CMS NPPES NPI Registry to verify provider type, organization affiliation, and location. Deduplicate mentions of the same person across multiple episodes and articles in the same period.
Pull 2-3 verbatim quotes per signal with podcast timestamps. AI writes a one-line cold-email opener that references the quote directly. Format everything as markdown ready to paste into Instantly.
View new signals since your last visit, filter by source or person, search across all transcripts, and mark signals as used or ignored. Copy any signal card as markdown with one click.

Is this for you?
- + Founder-operators running outbound sales - You know your seven industry sources and your ICP, but you don't have time to check them manually. 340b Prospect Signal Agent automates the monitoring so you get timely, personalized hooks without the 2-3 hours per week.
- + 340B third-party administrators (TPAs) - Your prospects speak regularly on Inside 340B Report, Drug Channels, and other industry publications. 340b Prospect Signal Agent transcribes every episode and article, identifies pharmacy directors and covered-entity leaders by name, and delivers verbatim quotes ready for Instantly.
- + Teams using Instantly for email campaigns - Each signal card renders as markdown you paste directly into Instantly. No reformatting, no cleanup. The suggested email opener references what your prospect said publicly last week.
- + Organizations with a narrow, well-defined ICP - 340b Prospect Signal Agent works best when you know exactly who you're looking for (pharmacy directors at hospitals and FQHCs) and where they speak (seven specific publications and podcasts). The more niche your ICP and sources, the higher signal quality.
- - Broad-market prospecting - 340b Prospect Signal Agent is built for niche B2B verticals with a small universe of industry publications. If your ICP spans hundreds of sources or you need to monitor general news, this is not the right fit.
- - Teams without a defined source list - You need to know which seven (or fewer) publications and podcasts your prospects speak on. 340b Prospect Signal Agent monitors a fixed set of sources; it doesn't discover new sources automatically.
- - Organizations that need multi-user collaboration - This is a single-user internal tool built for a founder or head of growth. No multi-tenant auth, no team workflows, no approval chains. If you need a team-wide lead-management system, look elsewhere.
- - Campaigns that require real-time lead routing - 340b Prospect Signal Agent delivers signals to a dashboard for manual review and copy-paste into Instantly. If you need automatic lead-to-CRM routing or real-time campaign triggering, this is not the right pattern.
Scoped build plus usage-based runs.
340b Prospect Signal Agent is a custom-scoped build for your seven sources, dashboard, and extraction logic. After launch, you pay for ongoing runs: hourly polling of RSS feeds, audio transcription for new podcast episodes, NPI enrichment lookups, and AI-based extraction and qualification. Costs scale with the number of new episodes and articles published per week, not with the number of signals you generate or emails you send.
- Initial build includes six free sources (Drug Channels, 340B Health Newsroom, 340B Insight, Inside 340B Report, 340B Unscripted, 340Banter). 340B Report (paywalled) is added when you provide access to the paywalled site.
- Usage costs are primarily transcription (Whisper or Deepgram at approximately $0.01-0.05 per podcast episode) and AI extraction (lightweight tier for entity extraction, SoTA tier for ICP qualification and email openers). Article ingestion from RSS feeds is negligible.
- Dashboard is single-user internal tool. No per-seat licensing, no multi-user auth complexity.
- Optional Phase 2 add-ons (direct push to Instantly campaigns, weekly newsletter generation, AI podcast publishing) are separate scopes and pricing.
How much time does 340b Prospect Signal Agent save per week?
340b Prospect Signal Agent eliminates the 2-3 hours per week you currently spend manually monitoring seven 340B industry sources. Instead of checking Drug Channels, Inside 340B Report, and five other publications yourself, the agent polls all sources hourly and surfaces new signals automatically. You review signals in a dashboard and copy markdown snippets into Instantly, replacing the manual monitoring loop entirely.
What happens if a prospect speaks on multiple podcasts in the same month?
340b Prospect Signal Agent deduplicates mentions of the same person across multiple episodes and articles. Instead of seeing three separate signal cards for the same pharmacy director, you see one consolidated card showing all their recent quotes across sources. You can click their name to view a per-person profile page that tracks every mention of that prospect over time, useful for understanding their evolving positions or priorities.
Can I search for specific topics or keywords across all transcripts?
Yes. The dashboard includes full-text search across all transcripts and extracted signals using SQLite. Search for phrases like 'contract pharmacy margins' or 'PBM clawbacks' and see every signal mentioning those topics. This lets you find prospects discussing specific pain points relevant to your pitch without manually reviewing every episode.
What if a podcast doesn't publish transcripts?
340b Prospect Signal Agent automatically transcribes podcast audio using Deepgram or OpenAI Whisper. For Inside 340B Report, 340B Unscripted, and 340Banter, the agent downloads the MP3 from the RSS feed and transcribes it within minutes of publication. The only exception is 340B Insight, which publishes PDF transcripts directly, so we skip transcription for that source and pull the PDF instead.
How do I know if a signal is actually a prospect or just an industry voice?
Each signal card includes a qualification tag: 'likely prospect,' 'industry voice,' or 'not relevant.' Likely prospect means the person holds a pharmacy director or equivalent role at a hospital or FQHC. Industry voice means they're a regulator, policy analyst, or competing TPA worth monitoring for awareness but not immediate outreach. The qualification uses CMS NPPES NPI Registry enrichment to verify provider type and organization affiliation, so you can trust the tag.
Can I mark signals as used so they don't clutter my queue?
Yes. Each signal card has a two-state toggle: mark as 'used' (you already sent an email) or 'ignore' (not relevant). Marked signals filter out of the 'New since last visit' queue but remain searchable in the full dashboard. This keeps your review queue clean while preserving the full history for reference.
What if I want to add a new 340B source that isn't in the current list?
340b Prospect Signal Agent monitors a fixed set of seven 340B sources. The agent doesn't discover new publications or podcasts automatically. If you identify a new source you want to track, adding it requires updating the polling configuration and RSS feed list, which is a post-launch scope change.
Can 340b Prospect Signal Agent automatically send emails to prospects through Instantly?
Not in Phase 1. 340b Prospect Signal Agent delivers markdown snippets you copy and paste into Instantly templates. This gives you control over the final email before sending. Direct integration with Instantly to auto-send campaigns is a Phase 2 option, but it's not included in the initial build. You remain the final decision-maker on every outreach.
Useful comparison for teams deciding where human review should sit between automated monitoring, qualification rules, and outbound action.
Related workflow for teams comparing multi-source monitoring, deduplication, and dashboard-based review patterns across different signal types.
Useful comparison for teams building multi-source ingestion pipelines with entity resolution, qualification scoring, and persistent storage for iterative refinement.
Stop missing pharmacy directors who spoke on Inside 340B Report last week.
340b Prospect Signal Agent automates the 2-3 hours per week you spend monitoring seven 340B industry sources.

Every email references what your prospect said publicly.
