The identity email that wakes up dead leads

Quick answer: This re-engagement email speaks to who the lead is rather than what you sell: two lines about them at their best, a “That’s still me” button, and any offer at the very bottom. An AI prompt personalises the opening from how they first found you.

Questions people ask.

How long before a lead counts as dead?

Should I delete leads who don’t respond?

After a re-engagement attempt, suppressing non-responders protects deliverability. Check your platform’s rules.
