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.
