Clients Building Their Own Power BI Reports With Copilot? What to Sell Next
Copilot lets Power BI clients build their own reports. Here is what to sell them next, and how to earn on it for 3 years.
Copilot now drafts the Power BI reports your clients used to pay you to build, and fewer requests come your way. What it doesn’t give them is an answer they can trust without checking. Go back to your Power BI clients with the answers they bought Power BI for, without the DAX. SQOR.ai answers business questions in plain English, matched to the general ledger, and pays you 20% to 30% of the Proof of Value and every subscription payment for 3 years as a partner.
What is changing
Power BI gives a team a toolkit and a DAX learning curve, and every new question becomes a measure someone writes and a report someone builds.
AI assistants now sit inside the BI tools, and clients ask whether they still need someone to build reports. Those assistants still answer from the model and the reports a team built.
