A four-touch sequence for winning back customers who have gone quiet for 90 days or more: a no-ask check-in, a what's-new update, a concrete comeback offer, and the breakup email that closes the loop. Before any message goes out, a short segmentation step splits the inactive list by why they left — churned on price, churned on a bad experience, or simply drifted — because the same offer that wins back a drifter insults someone who left over a support failure. Offer guidance covers what to discount, what never to discount, and why the breakup email routinely out-replies everything before it.
The Problem This Solves
Inactive customers sit in the CRM as dead rows: nobody owns them, nobody messages them, and the only touch they ever get is a generic newsletter. Meanwhile the business spends multiples more acquiring strangers than it would cost to reactivate people who already bought once.
Who It's For
SaaS teams, D2C brands, agencies, and service businesses with a list of lapsed customers and no structured way to bring them back — typically 1–50 seats.
Use Cases
- Segment a lapsed-customer list by churn reason before sending anything
- Re-open conversations with a no-ask check-in instead of leading with a discount
- Make one concrete, time-bound comeback offer per segment
- Close the loop with a breakup email that converts silence into replies or clean exits
- Feed reactivated customers back into an onboarding or nurture flow automatically
How to Use This Template
- 1
Pull every customer with no purchase or activity in 90+ days into one CRM list
- 2
Tag each by churn reason — price, experience, or drift — using order history and support notes
- 3
Adapt the four message skeletons per segment; the experience segment gets an apology, not an offer
- 4
Space the touches 5–7 days apart and stop the sequence the moment anyone replies
- 5
Send the breakup email to everyone still silent, then mark non-responders dormant
- 6
Route every reply to a human the same day — a reactivated customer is a hot lead
