Executive Summary

Many small sales teams—particularly across 24 million SMBs—struggle to re-engage cold leads because manual follow-ups are time-consuming and inconsistent, so promising opportunities go dormant and revenue is lost. This is especially acute for teams that can't justify hiring dedicated SDRs or buying heavyweight automation suites. Build a lightweight SaaS re-engagement engine that plugs into CRMs, detects cold contacts, and sends short AI-personalized follow-up sequences across email and messaging with one-click templates, scheduling, and measurable reopen/response tracking. Make it deployable in minutes and priced to fit the $500 average annual spend per SMB so small teams can trial with low friction. The market is timely and sizable: a $12.0B addressable market (24M SMBs × $500) with improving AI personalization and growing demand for low-touch point solutions; internal scoring (market 85/100, revenue potential 82/100) also points to strong commercial potential. CRM vendors opening integration channels creates clear distribution paths to accelerate customer acquisition. You can differentiate through extreme simplicity—prebuilt CRM connectors, high-quality re-engagement templates, deliverability-first sequencing, and an ROI dashboard that proves value quickly—rather than chasing feature parity with larger suites. The realistic challenge is competition from CRM incumbents and copycats, so plan for defensibility via deep vertical templates, performance data, and partner integrations that make the product a native part of SMB workflows.
