Leads in your CRM
Reactivatable with consistent follow-up
Average wholesale assignment fee
Even a small percentage of reactivated seller leads can change the economics of a wholesaling operation. With 500 leads in your CRM, an industry-cited 20–30% reactivation range, and a commonly referenced average wholesale assignment fee of $13,000, the upside on leads you already paid to acquire is significant.
Actual results vary by market, lead source, lead quality, offer strategy, and follow-up process. These figures are directional, not guarantees.
Situation: You have hundreds or thousands of seller leads that went cold months ago. Notes exist, but nobody is working them.
What usually happens: Most tools focus on new lead flow. Old leads quietly age out of the pipeline.
How Hey Rafi helps: Hey Rafi mines old notes, calls, and texts to find reactivation opportunities, then runs personalized multi-channel follow-up until the seller books or opts out.
Situation: A motivated seller calls during a meeting, after hours, or while reps are on other calls. The call goes to voicemail.
What usually happens: The seller often calls the next investor on their list before anyone follows up.
How Hey Rafi helps: Hey Rafi immediately responds with an SMS, continues the conversation, qualifies the seller, and books the call.
Situation: Your reps are buried in follow-ups, voicemails, and texts. Newer leads get attention; older leads get forgotten.
What usually happens: Reps still have to choose what to work on. Volume eats the most-qualified follow-ups last.
How Hey Rafi helps: Hey Rafi runs every conversation in the background — across phone, SMS, and email — until the seller is ready for a booked appointment with a human rep.
