Most people want better conversions… But almost nobody has a clean, usable database. So here’s a simple template you can use to clean yours in under an hour. It is the same five-bucket clean up system I give clients before we launch any pipeline work: HOT WARM PAST CLIENTS COLD QUALIFIED NURTURE ONLY This structure removes chaos, reveals hidden revenue, and shows you exactly where your conversations should start. Here is how to set it up. Step One: Export all of your contacts into one sheetPull them from your CRM, lead forms, email list, social DMs, and past campaigns. Place everything into a single spreadsheet so you have complete visibility. Step Two: Sort every contact into one of the five buckets Hot leads are people who engaged recently, replied, or showed interest. Warm leads are people who almost converted but went quiet. Past clients are individuals who have paid you before. Cold-qualified leads fit your ideal client but never engaged. Nurture-only leads are not a fit or are long-term prospects. Step Three: Add a column titled “Last Activity Date” This helps you prioritize your outreach. Zero to ninety days indicates a hot or warm lead. Ninety to one hundred eighty days is cold. One hundred eighty days or more belongs in nurture. Step Four: Apply the correct outreach style for each bucketHot leads receive a light check-in. Warm leads receive a “still working on this?” message. Past clients receive a review or reactivation prompt. Cold qualified leads receive a simple pattern interrupt. Nurture-only leads receive light value touches. Step Five: Use the following revival scripts to reactivate each group Hot “Hey [name], How's it going? Are you still looking at [goal or problem]?” Warm “Hey [name], last time we talked you we're exploring [goal]. Still on your radar?” Past Clients “Hey [name], if you had a good experience last time, would you mind leaving a quick review? Also, if you are planning anything for Q1, I have openings.”

Your future conversions depend on how well you do this part. Most people skip the audit.They jump straight into sending texts, blasting emails, or firing off a reactivation workflow.Then they wonder why the results are disappointing. A proper audit is the difference between outreach that lands and outreach that disappears into the void. Here is the simple five step audit I teach clients before we launch anything. 1. Get clear on what you actually have Before touching outreach, separate your database into clear categories.Past clientsOld leadsNew leadsUnresponsive leadsReferral partnersDead leadsLeads with no notes Most businesses do not have a lead problem.They have a classification problem. 2. Clean the contact info before automation touches it Bad data destroys conversions. Review and correct:NamesPhone numbersEmailsDuplicatesMissing tags. I you bought a list and they are ice cold, don't launch a campaign just yet. (later post for this) A clean list can double your results before a single message goes out. 3. Find the warm pockets in your database These are the people who:Opened previous emailsReplied onceShowed interest but stopped respondingBooked a call but did not showClicked something in the pastEngaged on social media These leads respond significantly better than cold lists. 4. Audit the notes and the timeline This is where the real insight sits.Look for:Why they came inWhat they wantedWhat stopped themAny life changes mentionedTheir timelinePast objectionsPast engagement Understanding the story behind the lead gives your outreach context and makes it far more effective. 5. Decide who gets what style of outreach Not every lead gets the same treatment. Warm leads receive a conversational check in.Cold leads receive value or a pattern interrupt.Past clients receive review or referral prompts.Unresponsive leads receive a gentle nudge.High value prospects receive personal outreach.Old neglected lists receive a soft reintroduction.

If there’s one thing I want everyone here to take seriously as you start using AI for SMS, voice, or email… it’s this: A workflow is only as strong as the framework behind it.And a framework is only as effective as your willingness to make it sound like you. AI is not here to replace your voice — it’s here to amplify it, so your follow-up is consistent, your message is clear, and your clients feel a steady, confident presence from you… even on the days you’re juggling life at Mach-10 speed. Why Frameworks Matter Frameworks keep your outreach:✨ Predictable✨ Consistent✨ High-converting✨ Scalable They ensure no lead gets forgotten, no conversation falls flat, and no opportunity slips through the cracks. A great framework gives you: - The timing - The sequence - The psychology - The prompts - The flow You get to bring the energy. Where Your Personality Comes In This is where the magic happens.Every workflow in this group — whether it’s voice AI, SMS drips, or email follow-ups — is customizable to your style. Some of you are: - Warm & nurturing - Direct & efficient - High-energy & charismatic - Soft-spoken and reassuring - Analytical & professional - Funny, clever, or a little sassy (hi, yes, my people 🙋‍♀️) There’s no “one right way.”There’s only your way — applied consistently. And when AI reflects your personality authentically, people feel it.Your AI starts sounding like the best version of you on your best day — every day. How to Customize Your Workflow Inside each framework, you can adjust: 🗣 Tone – softer, bolder, playful, formal 💬 Language – simple, detailed, consultative ❤️ Warmth level – empathetic, direct, or neutral 🎤 Voice AI style – calm, energetic, authoritative 📧 Email pace + depth – quick wins vs. value-heavy 📱 SMS style – short & punchy or conversational Your job isn’t to reinvent the wheel.Your job is to make the wheel sound like you. Why This Matters for Your Results People don’t want a generic robot.They want a human they feel like they know.
