I'm tired of letting Old Leads Go to Waste!

[Mohannad]

I just built a system that automatically re-engages forgotten contacts in your database (you know, those old leads, past clients, or cold prospects) and turns them into paying customers...without ads. Looking for people to try it for free and give honest feedback.

As I see it, this is where your resistance comes from.

There are literally thousands of people out there selling schemes and scams under this kind of broad, meaningless assurance

On one hand you can undoubtedly validate it with the fact that more (good quality) contact increases the chance of doing business - but do you have any solid evidence that your approach actually gets results?

Above, say, effective use of LinkedIn and newsletters?

Totally fair questions, skepticism is healthy in a space crowded with empty promises. Here’s how we’re different:

1. Proof, not hype:
- Client A (HVAC company): Reactivated 87 cold leads in 3 months, resulting in $23k in closed sales (leads untouched for 2+ years).
- Client B (law firm): 34% open rate on reactivation emails (vs. industry avg. 18%) by syncing campaigns with recent website activity.

2. Why it beats ‘manual’ outreach (like LinkedIn/newsletters):
- No hours wasted: Automates followup and personalizes based on real-time signals (e.g., someone revisits your pricing page = instant tailored offer).
- No data decay: Continuously scrubs dead contacts (ex-employees, invalid emails) so you’re not burning bridges (or $$) on irrelevant leads.

3. Zero risk validation:
I’ll give you a free 7-day pilot to reactivate your database. If it doesn’t outperform your current outreach, we shake hands and part ways. Deal?

I consistently get 50% open-rate on my newsletters (& I don't claim to be any good at it).

87 cold leads revitalised - they really are pretty sh!t at follow-up, aren't they?

In reality, there definitely are businesses out there that are rubbish at following up & who might benefit.

As someone who is offering a marketing product, my suggestion is that you apply some marketing skills to establish who your core customer is likely to be and how to best approach them.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
While I agree that followup strategies are critical, I’ve found that approaching conversations with empathy and respect tends to build stronger relationships both with clients and peers. For example, framing feedback constructively (e.g., ‘Many teams struggle with followup systems’) often opens doors more effectively than generalizations or harsh language. Just something to consider as we all work to improve!

That said, I’d love to hear any specific tactics you’ve seen succeed in identifying core customers. Always eager to learn!

That's a bold statement -too many variables to say/claim that for certain!

I see your point, there are always multiple factors at play, and making absolute claims can overlook important nuances. Could you elaborate on which specific variables you think are being ignored?

What database?

All my contacts are in thunderbird. I don't have a database.

Does not work in all markets, indeed, not that many.

If you sell crap or give poor customer service, no amount of marketing will re-engage old clients.

You can export your contacts from Thunderbird and create a database if needed. Thunderbird allows you to export contacts in CSV or vCard format, which can then be imported into a database or another contact management system. Let me know if you need help with the export process.

You're absolutely right. Marketing can bring people in, but if the product or service is subpar, customers won’t stay or return. Retention and re-engagement start with delivering real value and excellent customer service. A strong foundation always beats a flashy campaign.

You have put up a barrier to conversion. I would expect to install your application on my Mac and it automatically pulls the data from whatever system I’m using. Even if it’s SAAS everything should be automated.

As an aside I did try looking for your company but none of the results of my search was you.

Thank you for your feedback! Our automation is designed to streamline the process as much as possible. While full automation depends on the specific systems in use, we ensure seamless integration with major platforms, reducing manual effort significantly. If you have a specific setup in mind, we’d be happy to explore how we can make the process even more efficient for you.

Also, just to clarify, SmartSphere Automation and AI is an online agency, not a company. If you were searching for us and couldn’t find the right results, feel free to connect directly, I’d be happy to assist!

Seriously, bin your 1980s Jordan Belfort sales manual and get some proper marketing advice

Irrespective of whether your system works, this is a bad pitch, punctuated with crass closes - which gives no comfort of what you will be sending to my prospects

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I understand that strong sales language isn't for everyone, and I certainly respect your perspective.

That said, I want to assure you that transparency is a key part of our process. You would have full visibility into what’s being sent to your prospects, with the ability to review and edit as you see fit. Nothing goes out without your approval.

If there’s a specific approach you’d prefer, I’m more than happy to tailor the messaging to align with your brand voice and expectations. After all, the goal is to make sure the outreach reflects your values while delivering results.

@Mohannad - you are missing the point (again). Nobody here is interested in your product. You asked for comment and opinion has been provided.

And you now say it’s an AI thing which gets a thumbs down from many.

Are you even in the UK?
