Step-by-step spreadsheet framework for scrubbing, batching, and deploying CRM reactivation sprints.

The 4-Step Reactivation Sprint Plan

Phase 1: Scrub & Validate

Export contacts inactive for 90–360 days. Run through ZeroBounce to remove dead inboxes and protect domain reputation.

Phase 2: Segment & Batch

Divide into batches of 200–300 contacts by original interest area to avoid overwhelming sales reps with simultaneous replies.

Phase 3: Deploy 9-Word Question

Send plain-text email: 'Are you still looking to solve [Specific Problem] this year?' Require only a 1-word answer.

Phase 4: Triage & Book

Have reps respond within 15 minutes to incoming positive replies to schedule accelerated discovery reviews.
