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.

The $100,000 Mistake in Your CRM You’re Pretending Doesn’t Exist

In business, there’s nothing more exciting than the thrill of a new lead.

The notifications. The pipeline optimism. The instant rush of “this could be the one.”

But while you're throwing more cash at ad campaigns, obsessing over CPLs, and praying your next Facebook tweak actually works, there’s something silently bleeding your bottom line:

The leads you already paid for—and forgot.

Welcome to the $100,000 mistake hiding in plain sight: the pile of unconverted, ignored, and ghosted leads sitting in your CRM, doing absolutely nothing… except losing you money.

The Obsession With “New” Is Costing You

Let’s talk about the addiction. Businesses are hardwired to chase the next lead. Agencies pitch it, marketers crave it, and sales teams are measured by it. New is exciting. Old is… boring.

But here’s the math no one talks about:

The average cost per lead for a B2B or high-ticket business? Anywhere from $75 to $300+. And that’s just to acquire the contact.

Now do a quick headcount: how many leads are currently sitting in your CRM that never converted?

1,000? 5,000? 20,000?

If you’ve got 2,000 leads you never closed at $100 a pop, that’s $200,000 of acquisition cost—rotting in your database.

And no, “they went cold” isn’t an excuse. They didn’t ghost you—they were never followed up with the right way, at the right time, with the right message.

Most CRMs Are Digital Junk Drawers

CRMs should be revenue-generating machines. Instead, they’ve become the graveyards of good intentions.

The most common reasons businesses let leads die:

Sales gave up after two touches
No system to scale follow-ups
Marketing and sales don't talk
No one owns lead nurturing after Day 3

That’s not a pipeline problem. It’s a process problem. You don’t need more leads—you need to work the ones you already paid for.

And that’s where AI Lead Reactivation flips the game.

AI + SMS = A Goldmine in Your CRM

At AudienceIntent, we specialize in one thing: helping businesses unlock hidden revenue by reactivating old leads through AI-powered SMS conversations—on a 100% performance basis.

You only pay us when we convert.

No retainers. No ad spend. No more wasted hours chasing cold traffic while your warm-ish leads die in the dark.

Here’s how it works:

We ingest your existing leads from your CRM (yes, even the ones from 3 years ago).
Our AI agents start real-time, human-like SMS conversations to re-engage them.
Leads that raise their hand? Instantly routed to your calendar, inbox, or sales rep.
You only pay for the qualified responses or booked appointments. Period.

It’s reactivation without the risk.

A Real-World Wake-Up Call

A national home services franchise gave us access to 7,800 old leads they hadn’t touched in over 18 months.

Within 10 days:

139 appointments were booked
$83K in new revenue was generated
$0 in ad spend was used
Cost to reactivate those leads? Less than 10% of what they originally spent to acquire them

Meanwhile, their agency was still pitching more cold traffic with a 2% conversion rate.

We’ll ask again: why are you still chasing strangers when the warm leads are already sitting in your system?

The Economics Are Brutal… and Obvious

Here’s the thing about new lead gen:

It's expensive.
It’s slow.
It’s unpredictable.
And in 2025? It's even more competitive.

Meanwhile, AI lead reactivation is fast, cheap, and already proven.

Instead of burning $10,000/month on more Facebook ads that could get ignored, what if you could turn yesterday’s pipeline into this month’s closed deals?

We’ve seen it happen across:

Solar & Home Improvement
Financial Advisors & Gold IRA Companies
Coaches & Consultants
Medical Aesthetics & Dental Practices
Automotive & Marine Sales

Anywhere leads have been generated and forgotten? We find money.

This Is No Longer Optional

The economy’s tightening. Ad platforms are throttling reach. CAC is rising. And the platforms you rely on? They’re prioritizing their shareholders, not your ROI.

You can’t afford to keep throwing dollars into the front door while ignoring the gold buried in your basement.

Reactivating old leads with AI + SMS isn’t just smart—it’s survival.

If you’re ready to stop wasting money and start closing the leads you already paid for, book a call and we’ll show you exactly how much money is potentially hiding in your CRM—and we’ll only get paid when we help you convert it.
