Thursday is your Database Day.
Run this kit during your Power 2 Hours — 8–10 AM Thursday. Lead with reconnect outreach before anything else hits your calendar.
This kit powers 13 of your 23 daily contacts — your 10 database touches and 3 referral asks. (Agent + lead follow-up live on their own theme days.)
Five texts today. That's the whole start.
Don't overthink it. Reactivation isn't a campaign — it's caring out loud.

Segment 1 — Past Clients
I stay available for questions about their home and next steps.Past Clients
Who: my past clients, including homeowners considering home equity. Goal: I check in, listen, and explain options when a question comes up.

Subject: A couple things that might help Hi [First Name] — if you are considering a home project, I can explain home equity options. A HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home, with borrowing and repayment responsibilities to understand before deciding. Want me to take a look at anything for you? Just reply. — Amare
Subject: Quick favor (only if it feels right) [First Name], if someone you know has questions about the VA benefit earned through service, USDA, or home equity, I would be glad to explain the basics. I also help people prepare before they are ready to apply. No worries at all if no one comes to mind — just glad to know you. — Amare
