TLDR

For a mid-sized industrial equipment services firm (200–500 employees) with a long B2B2C sales cycle, this quarterly, data‑driven playbook helps re‑activate dormant, high‑value leads (assets >$250k; no contact >6 months) by leveraging readiness signals, joint value plans, and quarterly checkpoints to shorten time‑to‑value. Expected outcomes include 15%+ engagement, 12% meeting‑to‑deal conversion, and time‑to‑value under 9 months when outreach aligns with the client’s fiscal calendar. Start by mapping influencers, assigning internal owners, and leveraging the Resources pack for templates and assets.

Quarterly Winbook

How to re-engage dormant, high-value equipment leads on a quarterly cadence to win long deals. The playbook focuses on assets over $250,000, no contact for six months or more, and a readiness score at or below 40. Actions align to the prospect fiscal windows and aim to shorten time-to-value while protecting sales capacity.

Metrics

Core KPIs for re-engagement playbook
Metric Quarterly Target
Engagement Rate 15%+
Meeting → Deal 12%
Time-to-Value < 9 months
Contact Rate (targeted outreach) 25%+
Notes: Targets are quarter-based goals for dormant, high-value leads. Adjust targets by product line and average asset value. Keywords: engagement rate, meeting conversion, time-to-value, pipeline recovery.
How targets move with pipeline size

Smaller dormant pools allow more personalized outreach and higher contact rates. Larger pools require segmentation and automated, signal-driven touches.

Nurture flow

Readiness score uses four signals: site visits, asset documents viewed, RFIs submitted, and scheduled maintenance windows. Outreach begins when score reaches or exceeds 50.

  1. Pre: audit signals & map influencers.
    More on audit and mapping

    Score changes, recent document views, and any submitted RFIs are logged. Map influencers by role: operations, procurement, and maintenance. Capture contact mode and best time windows.

  2. Meet: agenda, proof, joint value plan.
    Meeting microcopy

    Send a short agenda 48 hours prior. Share one pager with measurable outcomes. Include a draft joint value plan with clear owner names and next steps.

  3. Post: assign owners, quarterly checkpoints.
    Post-meeting commitments

    Assign an internal owner and a named champion at the prospect. Set the first quarterly checkpoint date inside the client's fiscal cadence.

Readiness score
Composite of engagement signals (visits, docs, RFIs, maintenance window proximity). Scores range 0–100.
High-value lead
Opportunity tied to one or more assets valued at greater than $250,000 or an equivalent project spend.

Saved 4% downtime across targeted assets after a single quarter of focused outreach and a joint value plan. The improvement came from scheduled maintenance alignment and remote diagnostics introduced in the pilot.

Calculation example

If asset value = $500,000 and uptime gain = 0.04 for 12 months: estimated benefit = 0.04 × $500,000 = $20,000 annual. Compare program cost to find payback months.
