Wake up your dead lead list with a 3-touch AI-powered SMS sequence.
Every SMB has a graveyard of leads that went cold — people who inquired, got a quote, and then went silent. Most businesses never follow up after the second or third attempt. But the reality is that 20-30% of cold leads are still interested — they just got busy, got distracted, or weren't ready yet. A well-crafted reactivation campaign can generate immediate revenue from your existing database with zero new ad spend.
Pull contacts who inquired but didn't convert in the last 30-180 days. Filter out anyone who explicitly said no or asked not to be contacted.
Don't lead with a sales pitch. Offer something: a tip, a reminder of a seasonal need, or a genuine check-in. 'We helped 12 [city] homeowners with [service] this month — still need to get yours done?'
Share a recent customer result or review. 'Just finished a [job type] for a family in [neighborhood] — they saved $X. Happy to give you a quick quote if you're still interested.'
Create mild urgency without being pushy. 'Last message from us — if the timing isn't right, no worries at all. But if you're still thinking about [service], we have availability this week.'
Anyone who replies positively gets immediately moved to your active pipeline and assigned to a rep for follow-up within 15 minutes.
Use these templates as-is or customize for your business.
Hey [First Name], this is [Name] from [Business]. We helped a lot of [city] homeowners with [service] this month and wanted to check in — is that something you're still thinking about? Happy to give you an updated quote. No pressure at all
Hi [First Name]! Quick update from [Business]: we just wrapped up a [job type] for a client in [neighborhood] and they were thrilled. If you're still on the fence about [service], I'd love to chat — what's a good time this week?
Hey [First Name], last message from us — we don't want to bother you! But if the timing is ever right for [service], we're here. Our schedule tends to fill up fast in [season]. Take care either way — [Name], [Business]
