What is SMS Lead Reactivation?

SMS Lead Reactivation is the process of re-engaging old or inactive leads through personalized text conversations that feel human and conversational. It helps businesses convert existing contacts into new revenue without buying new leads.

Is SMS Lead Reactivation legal?

Yes. SMS Lead Reactivation is legal when conducted through A2P-registered numbers and in compliance with TCPA and opt-in regulations.

How long do old leads stay viable?

Leads can still respond up to 12–24 months later with the right messaging and segmentation.

Why is SMS more effective than email?

SMS messages have a 98% open rate compared to about 20% for email, making text messaging more immediate and effective for reactivation.

What is AudienceIntent?

AudienceIntent is a performance-based SMS lead reactivation service. We use compliant, AI-assisted conversations to re-engage dormant contacts in your database, book qualified appointments, and recover revenue you already own—without new ad spend or long-term retainers.

How does the database reactivation process work?

We securely ingest your opted-in leads (via CRM integration or CSV), verify consent/quiet-hour rules, and warm a sending number. Our AI agents run multi-step, human-like SMS outreach that qualifies intent, handles FAQs/objections, and books on your calendar. Every reply, opt-out, and appointment is synced back to your CRM with full audit logs.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results vary by list quality, offer, and vertical. Typical outcomes include immediate re-engagement of 5–15% of reachable leads, same-week bookings, and measurable ‘found money’ from lapsed prospects. We price on outcomes so our incentives align with yours.

Do I need a CRM or integration setup?

No. We can start with a compliant CSV export. If you use a CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho), we’ll integrate to sync contacts, conversations, and bookings automatically.

Is it compliant with privacy and TCPA laws?

Yes. We enforce consent checks, federal/state quiet hours, opt-out handling, local-presence rules, A2P 10DLC registration, and data minimization. Every message includes clear opt-out instructions and all suppressions are honored system-wide.

How much does it cost?

We operate on performance-based pricing tied to booked meetings or recovered revenue, plus a small one-time setup fee. If we don’t 2× your setup fee in recovered revenue within 60 days, we refund it. Exact economics vary by vertical and volume.

What qualifies as a ‘booked meeting’ or sale?

A booked meeting is a confirmed time on your calendar with correct contact info, set by our system, meeting your qualification criteria (e.g., service area, budget, intent). A sale is a closed-won transaction attributable to our reactivation touches under your attribution window.

Is there any upfront cost or long-term contract?

There’s a small setup fee to cover compliance, number reputation, and integration. No long-term contracts—engagements are month-to-month and performance-driven.

Can you customise messages to match our tone or brand?

Absolutely. We tailor copy, voice, and offer framing to your brand guidelines, approvals, and compliance requirements. We also localize by market and segment by lifecycle stage.

What industries does this work best for?

High-intent, appointment-driven categories: home services, financial services (incl. Gold/IRA), medical aesthetics & wellness, education & training, auto & marine, luxury real estate, and subscription/ecommerce memberships.

What’s the minimum lead volume required?

We can pilot from ~500 opted-in contacts, though 1,000+ delivers stronger signal for optimization and consistent weekly bookings.

How long does it take to launch?

Most programs go live in 3–7 business days after data receipt and A2P/number setup. Timelines depend on carrier approvals and your CRM access.

What if someone responds negatively or opts out?

We de-escalate respectfully, halt messaging, and immediately suppress the contact globally. Opt-outs are logged and synced to your CRM and suppression lists to ensure they’re never contacted again.

Can this run alongside my existing campaigns or CRM?

Yes. We coordinate sending windows, use dedicated numbers, dedupe audiences, and write back dispositions so your email, ads, and sales motions don’t conflict. All activity is fully attributable.

Why choose AudienceIntent for this?

We align to outcomes, not hours. Our stack blends AI agents with strict compliance, real-time attribution, and proven playbooks across verticals—so you get booked meetings and recovered revenue, fast, without adding ad spend or headcount.

Struggling to Hit Sales Goals? Reactivate Your Old Leads with SMS Marketing

The Silent Killer of Your Sales Targets

Every month you pump budget into new ads, tweak landing pages, and beg the algorithm gods for mercy—yet your sales chart is still flatter than day-old soda. Here’s the harsh truth:

You don’t have a lead-generation problem. You have a lead-reactivation problem.

Buried inside your database are thousands of “old” leads who once raised their hands but never got a second chance. They cost you money to acquire, they know your brand, and—spoiler alert—they convert 3× faster than strangers when you actually follow up. Ignoring them is like stacking cash in a shoebox and setting it on fire.

Why SMS Marketing Is Your Reactivation Superpower

Email open rates are tanking, cold calls go straight to voicemail, and social feeds are a pay-to-play circus. SMS marketing wins because:

98% open rates—people read texts within minutes.
Instant engagement—replies roll in faster than email refresh.
Personal feel—a well-timed text feels like a human, not a brochure.

Combine SMS with AI-driven lead reactivation and you’ve got a one-two punch that turns “dead” contacts into booked calls without touching your ad budget.

How AI-Powered Lead Reactivation Works (The AudienceIntent Way)

Data Dig – We pull every cold, unconverted lead from your CRM. No segment left behind.
Intent Scoring – Our AI scans behavior signals to spot who’s likely to buy now.
Smart SMS Sequences – Personalized, intent-matched texts spark conversations—not spam complaints.
Human Hand-Off – Once a lead bites, our team (or yours) jumps in to close the deal.
Performance-Based Pricing – You only pay when appointments book. Zero retainers. Zero risk.

Simple? Yes. “Magic”? Nope—just smart strategy backed by tech.

The Payoff: Real Numbers, Real Fast

Cost per reactivated lead: pennies compared to fresh ad clicks.
Speed to pipeline: first booked calls often land within 24–48 hours of launch.
ROI: We regularly see 5–10× returns because you’re monetizing sunk costs, not creating new ones.

Translation: You hit this quarter’s sales goals without begging finance for a bigger ad budget.
