How to work aged (30D+) finance leads
Short answer
Aged finance leads are business owners who asked about finance more than 30 days ago. Many still need funding, have been declined elsewhere or have new plans. Re-engage them with a short, helpful message that references their original need and offers a fresh look.
Why 30D+ leads still convert
Funding needs rarely disappear. Timing changes, other applications fall through, and new projects appear.
Because these inquiries are older, they suit steady, planned follow-up rather than same-day calling.
A re-engagement approach
Reference what they asked for, mention one relevant option, and ask a simple question such as whether they are still looking.
Use email and SMS for scale, and phone for anyone who replies.
Prioritize well
Start with inquiries that include a mobile number and a clear finance need. Then work through the rest in batches each week.
