How to recover leads that never became appointments without spamming your customer list.
Where leads go to die
Web forms answered a day late, callers qualified but never booked, and inquiries from last season that nobody revisited. Each is a lead with a name and a need, sitting in a system nobody works.
Eligibility first
Reactivation should only touch records that are eligible: recent enough, not opted out, not marked do-not-contact, and within your frequency limits. A blast to an old list damages your brand and may violate consent rules.
Working the lead to a stage
Recovery messages should move a lead to Contacted, then Qualified, then Booked, with each step recorded. Owners can see recovery as a funnel instead of a vague 'we texted some people'.
