FAQ
How long should the cool-off period be?
We recommend 30 days for small deals and 60-90 days for enterprise. The agent lets you set rules by deal value or loss reason.
What if the contact has changed companies?
The agent checks LinkedIn data during re-engagement. If the contact moved, it flags the account for manual review.
Will this annoy prospects?
Each prospect gets a maximum of 3 touchpoints across email and WhatsApp. The messaging focuses on value, not pressure.
Can I exclude certain loss reasons?
Yes. Deals lost to "no budget" or "bad fit" can be excluded from reactivation entirely or given longer cool-off periods.
