Education

40% of written-off leads answered.
Net revenue from a pipeline priced at zero.

A large vocational training group ran a systematic AI recontact campaign against their cold database - leads that had gone silent, been worked manually with no result, and quietly written off. What came back was a revenue stream no one had budgeted for.

The challenge

Every education provider has a graveyard of leads: people who showed intent - filled out a form, attended a webinar, asked for a brochure - but then went silent. Manual recontact of cold lists is expensive, demoralising for salespeople, and rarely systematic enough to work at scale.

The solution

Meetzy AI agents ran a multi-touch recontact programme against the full cold database. Agents called across multiple windows, left structured voicemails when appropriate, and followed a branching script designed for re-engagement - acknowledging the time gap, refreshing the programme value proposition, and offering new entry points like upcoming start dates or updated payment plans.

The results

40% of the cold list picked up. These were leads the business had already stopped counting on - manually worked, gone silent, removed from active forecasts. Of those who answered, 20% expressed renewed interest and re-entered the active pipeline. 8% converted fully. Every single one of them came from a database that had been priced at zero.

Frequently asked questions

How old can the leads be for a reactivation campaign to work?

For education, leads up to 12-18 months old frequently reactivate when re-engaged with updated programme information or new start dates. Meetzy can segment by lead age and tailor scripts accordingly.

How does the agent handle a lead that explicitly said no before?

Leads flagged as explicit refusals are suppressed by default. The recontact campaign targets leads that went unreachable or unresponsive - not ones that formally opted out.

Can agents leave voicemails?

Yes. Agents detect voicemail and leave a short, natural-sounding message designed to prompt a callback. Message content is configurable and A/B testable.

How is compliance with do-not-call lists managed?

Meetzy integrates with your suppression lists and national DNC registries. Any opt-out during the call is processed in real time and synced back to your CRM.
