How do I re-engage aged and orphan leads?

What usually causes it

• A salesperson leaves and their leads are never reassigned.
• Older leads drop off the daily list once the first follow-up ends.
• No one runs a planned campaign to older leads.
• Replies from old leads are missed because no one is watching.

Does any of this match what you see at your store?

A process that fixes it

1. Pull every lead with no active owner or no recent activity.
2. Assign each one to a named person.
3. Reach out with a planned re-engagement campaign.
4. Route every reply to the new owner right away.
5. Track which revived leads set appointments.
