Introduction:
Kyle Kraft here, and welcome to another episode of Big Ideas for Roofers…

Today, I’m going to show you how to resurrect dead leads—leads you thought were junk, worthless, gone—and turn them into fast, booked appointments with no ad spend and no chasing.

It’s called Database Reactivation, and if you haven’t heard of it, I can promise you this:
You’re sitting on thousands—maybe tens of thousands—of dollars in forgotten leads that are just waiting for you to follow up the right way.

And no, I’m not talking about cold calling. And no, I’m not talking about begging.

I’m talking about a simple, automated system that turns old leads into hot jobs—and it works in less than 72 hours.

So if your CRM, your spreadsheets, or your inbox is full of “almost” customers, today’s episode is going to show you how to turn that list into pure gold.

Let’s get into it.

The Big Problem: Old Leads Are Being Ignored
Every roofer I talk to is obsessed with getting new leads.

More ads. More clicks. More traffic.

But here’s the truth most roofing contractors completely ignore…

You don’t need more leads. You need to do more with the ones you already have.

💀 Right now, in your database, you have people who:

• Got an estimate and ghosted…

• Asked for a quote and never replied…

• Said they’d call back and never did…

• Needed financing and got stuck…

• Didn’t have storm damage last year, but now they do…

And you’re ignoring them.

You paid money to generate those leads.
You (or your sales guy) spent time quoting them.
And now they’re just sitting there… dead.

What if I told you there’s a way to reactivate those dead leads and convert 5%, 10%, even 15% of them into booked appointments?

You don’t need a new ad budget.
You don’t need more door hangers.
You don’t need to outspend the big guys.

You just need a reactivation system—and I’m about to give it to you.

What is Database Reactivation?
It’s the process of taking old, cold, or “dead” leads and sending them a short, irresistible message that gets them to raise their hand again.

You don’t beg.
You don’t discount.
You don’t call 100 people hoping someone picks up.

You just ask a powerful question… delivered by automation.

Here’s one message that works like magic:

“Hey, are you still thinking about getting that roof done before [season/storm]? If so, we just had a few appointment slots open up this week. Want one?”

Simple. Direct. Non-pushy.
And it works like crazy.

🔥 Why? Because timing is everything.
Last time you reached out, it wasn’t the right time.
Now, it might be.

And if you’re the one in their inbox, text thread, or voicemail at the right moment, you get the job. Period.

How Database Reactivation Fits into the 9 Nails
Let’s tie this into the 9 Nails to Roofing Contractor Growth—because this isn’t just a one-off trick. It’s a critical piece of your growth system.
