PAINS

80% of your pipeline
dies in CRM

Most sales teams have hundreds of lost opportunities in CRM. Nobody
re-engages them, because nobody owns the process.

Dead Pipeline

You have 500 to 5,000 lost deals sitting in CRM. Nobody touches them. The buyer already knew your offer, the conversation already happened, and the data is right there - and your team starts every quarter from cold.

Forgotten Context

Even when someone tries to reach back, they don't remember why each deal stalled. A generic follow-up to a buyer who said "wrong timing" lands like a fresh cold email. The relationship gets burned a second time.

Missed Windows

Budgets free up. Champions get promoted. CROs change. The reason a deal stalled has often disappeared, but nobody on your team is watching for that signal. The window opens and closes without a single message sent.

PROCESS

We re-open deals. You close them

From CRM segmentation to warm handoff. We pull every lost opportunity, summarize the original conversation with AI, detect role and company changes, and write a re-engagement message that references the specific reason each deal stalled. You pick up a conversation that already has context.

01

CRM segmentation by lost reason

We pull lost opportunities from the last 6 to 24 months and segment them by stall reason: lost to competitor, lost on budget, lost on timing, lost on fit, no-decision. Each segment gets a different re-engagement angle.

02

Employment and signal verification

We check whether every contact is still at the same company in the same role. Job changes, promotions, and company moves become primary re-engagement triggers - faster than any cold prospect signal.

03

AI conversation summaries

Every contact gets a 2 to 3 line context summary generated from the original conversation history. That summary becomes the personalization seed for the re-engagement message.

04

Segment-specific copy creation

We write separate sequences per stall reason. "Lost on timing" reads differently than "lost to competitor." Each template gets customized per contact using the AI summary

05

2 to 3 step re-engagement sequenc

Initial message, one follow-up at day 7, final close-the-loop at day 14. Lost deals reply fast or not at all - long sequences waste effort.

06

Reply routing and AE handoff

Every reply goes to the right rep with full conversation context attached - original deal history plus the re-engagement thread. If the original AE is gone, the new owner gets the brief.

FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from B2B sales and growth leaders.

What is closed-lost reactivation, and how does your service work?

Closed-lost reactivation turns deals you already lost into warm pipeline. Vanderbuild pulls every lost opportunity from the past 6-24 months, segments them by stall reason, and uses AI summaries of past conversations to write re-engagement messages that reference why each deal stalled. Replies route to the right rep with full deal history. New lost deals flow into the system automatically.

Which closed-lost deals are worth re-engaging?

The best candidates are deals lost in the last 6-24 months for reasons that change over time: budget, timing, a missing feature, or a champion who left. We run a lost deal analysis on your CRM, and your team confirms which loss reasons get priority. You need at least 500 lost-deal contacts with conversation history at deal level.

How do you re-engage lost deals without it feeling like spam?

Every message references the specific reason the deal stalled and what has changed since, based on an AI summary of the prior conversation. Email sends through Smartlead or Instantly, with optional LinkedIn follow-up through HeyReach. Replies are monitored and routed daily, so a returning buyer reaches a rep who knows the history.

How long until reactivated deals show up in pipeline?

First re-engagement messages go out in week 4, and first replies usually arrive within 2 weeks of sending. CRM segmentation and AI summaries take 2-3 weeks, with copy and infrastructure running in parallel. Pipeline value is visible within 90 days of launch.

What results does a win-back campaign deliver?

Our floor benchmarks are an 8-18% reply rate, 30-80 re-opened opportunities per 1,000 lost contacts, and 8-20x pipeline value per dollar of system cost within 90 days. Re-engaged contacts also close 30-50% faster than cold prospects, because they already know your offer.
