What if the fastest way to fill your pipeline wasn’t chasing new leads… but reigniting the ones you already have?

If you’ve ever stared at a list of past prospects who never said “yes” and thought, “They’re gone for good,” think again. Those dormant leads could actually be your next high-ticket clients – if you know how to re-engage them strategically.

In episode 462 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I sat down with Mandi Ellefson, founder of Hands-Off CEO, to uncover a powerful (yet simple) system to reactivate cold leads and close 1–2 new deals in just 30 days without paid ads or exhausting outreach.

Mandi shares the exact reactivation framework her clients use to turn “quiet” prospects into $100 - $500k in new revenue. Plus, she reveals how to use automation, personalization, and timing to rebuild trust fast.

If your sales pipeline has stalled or you’re ready to turn missed opportunities into momentum, this conversation will help you see your “old” leads in a whole new light.
