Lead Recovery

Re-engage cold leads and recover lost opportunities automatically

Understanding Lead Recovery

Lead recovery is the process of automatically re-engaging prospects who have gone cold, abandoned their inquiry, or stopped responding to outreach. Lane Command's AI-powered recovery engine identifies the optimal timing, channel, and messaging to re-activate dormant pipeline.

Key Recovery Scenarios

Abandoned Inquiries

Lead submitted form but never received follow-up, or initial outreach went unanswered

Trigger: 24–72 hours after last activity

Stalled Negotiations

Active conversation went silent after pricing, objection, or competitive evaluation

Trigger: 5–14 days of inactivity

Cold CRM Records

Contacts that have been in the CRM for 30+ days with no recent engagement or activity

Trigger: 30+ days since last touch

No-Show Appointments

Prospect missed their scheduled appointment and has not rescheduled or responded to follow-up

Trigger: Same day or next morning
