Roughly how many contacts sit in your CRM with no activity for over a year?
Section II · Frequency, content and ownership
How often do you go back to a contact that did not buy?
What do you send them?Select all that apply.
Who does it?
Section III · Segmentation and triggers
Do you separate contacts who came to you from contacts you went out to?
When the decision maker changes at a company that once did not buy, do you act on it?
Section IV · Results and barriers
If you measure it: what reply rate do you get when going back to old contacts?
What most gets in the way of doing this properly?

This study is run by Vanderbuild. We build outbound campaigns and reactivation systems for B2B companies, and the same picture keeps showing up: a database full of contacts nobody goes back to. We want to find out whether that is the rule or just our sample.
