Reviving Dormant Deals with Buying Signals

Use hiring, funding, and inbound visits to reopen stalled opportunities without a generic “just checking in”.

Most dormant deals are not dead — they went quiet because timing was wrong. Signals tell you when to speak again.

When to reopen

  • The account is hiring the role you sell into.
  • They raised, or a new leader just joined.
  • Someone from the account hit pricing or demo on your site (AI Inbound).

The motion

  1. Pull the old opportunity names into a Lead List. Dedupe so you do not double-email an open thread.
  2. Enrich anything stale.
  3. Write a one-step or two-step sequence that names the signal. Stop-on-reply so Unibox catches the human.
  4. Keep the window inside their working hours. A “congrats on the raise” email at midnight is worse than silence.

If they never replied last time, change the person, not just the template. Decision-maker search exists for this.
