The problem it solves

Leads go cold and just sit in your CRM because nobody has time to check in on hundreds of contacts one by one. By the time you notice they've gone quiet, you've missed the funding round, news story, or leadership change that would have made a perfect reason to reach back out.

Who it fits

A sales team with a CRM full of leads that have gone inactive for months.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system pulls leads that have been inactive for 90 or more days
  2. It checks for funding news, company news, and leadership changes on each one
  3. When it finds a relevant trigger, AI drafts a personalized re-engagement email
  4. The lead's profile and the draft email are sent to the assigned sales rep
  5. The rep reviews and sends the email themselves
What you get

Re-engagement emails ready for reps

Your sales reps get a personalized draft email and recent news for every dormant lead worth reaching back out to.

What you get

A personalized draft email and lead summary delivered to the right sales rep for review.

What you need

A CRM connection, NewsAPI and Hunter.io accounts, optionally Crunchbase, an Anthropic API key, and Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
