Lapsed Client Re-Engagement

Q: Can the automation handle clients with multiple contacts or locations?

Yes, the system enriches each client record with available contact details and company context, allowing outreach to the most relevant contact at each organization.

Q: How does the automation decide which clients are truly lapsed?

The system queries the CRM for any client with zero logged activity in the past 60 days, then cross-references recent hiring signals to confirm they are still active prospects.

Q: Will the automation work if our team uses a different CRM or email platform?

The automation is built to work with mainstream CRM and email tools. Integration requirements depend on your specific platform, but most popular systems are supported.

Q: What happens if a client responds to an automated re-engagement email?

All responses are logged in the CRM automatically, and follow-up tasks alert the sales rep to engage in a live conversation. The automation does not reply to client messages.
