Using SMS DBR to Resurrect Dead Leads—Here’s How

Your CRM is probably sitting on a goldmine—and you don’t even know it.

All those old leads you collected from ads, events, forms, referrals… they’re still there.
They just haven’t heard from you in a while.

They didn’t say “no.”
They just never said “yes.”
And that’s where SMS DBR comes in.

At Alleyoop Digital, we use conversational AI to reactivate dead leads with smart, friendly, automated SMS messages—turning quiet contacts into booked appointments and closed deals.

Here’s how we bring them back from the dead. 🧟‍♂️➡️💸

What Is SMS DBR?

DBR = Database Reactivation
It’s the process of re-engaging past leads who’ve gone cold—through personalized, automated text conversations.

We don’t spam. We don’t mass blast. We send realistic, human-sounding messages that start actual conversations. Then, our AI bots do what they do best: qualify, nurture, and book meetings.

Why SMS Works (When Email and Ads Don’t)

98% open rates. Everyone reads their texts. Period.
Fast response time. Most people reply to SMS within 90 seconds.
No ad spend. You already paid to get these leads. SMS DBR gets ROI from sunk cost.
Feels personal. The right message at the right time feels like a 1:1 nudge—not a campaign.

Our SMS DBR System: Step-by-Step

1. We Sync With Your CRM or Lead List

You give us your cold list—could be from 3 months ago or 3 years ago. We clean and prep it for smart outreach.

2. The Bot Kicks Off the Conversation

Our AI bot sends a short, friendly message to break the ice.

Example:
“Hey [First Name], just checking in—are you still interested in [your service]? We’ve got a few spots open this week if it’s a fit!”

No push. No pressure. Just enough to trigger curiosity or interest.

3. Real-Time, Human-Like Chat

When leads reply, the bot continues the conversation—qualifying, answering questions, and offering to book time.
It feels like a real person, but it’s your digital assistant working 24/7.

4. Hot Leads Get Booked

Once someone’s ready, the bot drops a link to your calendar and schedules the appointment right there. Done and done.

5. You Get a Report (and More Revenue)

We track replies, bookings, opt-outs, and more—so you know exactly how much money your old leads just made you.

Real Results (From Real Clients)

One client reactivated 74 leads in 7 days—$11k in sales from a “dead list”
Another booked 13 meetings from 200 texts—with zero manual outreach
Most DBR campaigns start getting responses within 10 minutes

What Makes Our System Different

Conversational AI — Not generic automation. Smart, responsive messages that feel human.
Multi-threaded follow-up — Our bots follow up over 2–4 days to stay top of mind (without being annoying).
No new ad spend — It’s the cheapest pipeline you’ll ever find.
Compliance built-in — Opt-out friendly and permission-aware.

Bottom Line: You Already Paid for These Leads—Now Let’s Convert Them

Your CRM isn’t dead. It’s just sleeping.
And we’ve built the system that wakes it up and turns silence into sales.

Whether you’re a local service biz, an agency, a coach, or a brand with an old list—you’re sitting on revenue. Let us help you unlock it.
