Frontdesk
Ghosted Lead Recovery

Re-engage apartment prospects who went silent — automatically

Frontdesk detects when an active prospect stops responding mid-conversation, mid-tour-booking, or mid-application — and fires personalized re-engagement sequences across voice, SMS, and email. Ghosted leads that legacy CRMs treat as dead get recovered with multi-channel persistence and persona-tuned messaging.

Built for multifamily operators losing pipeline to mid-funnel ghosting. Bidirectional sync with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Re-engages prospects originally sourced from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals, and Craigslist across conventional, lease-up, build-to-rent, single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC portfolios. A more persistent, multi-channel alternative to EliseAI, Funnel, Zuma, Respage, Yardi Chat IQ, and Entrata ELI+ for the ghosting workflow.

The Problem

Active conversations go silent without flagging

A prospect inquires, gets a reply, asks one follow-up question — and then disappears. Knock CRM and Yardi RentCafe don’t flag the ghosting. The leasing consultant moves on, and the lead dies quietly.

40–60% of qualified prospects ghost mid-conversation

Ghosted leads aren’t in a "no-show recovery" or "dormant" bucket

They never made it to a tour, never started an application, never explicitly opted out. Legacy automation has no trigger for them — they just sit in the CRM, untouched, until someone manually purges the list.

Pipeline that should convert at 8–12% converts at 0%

Manual re-engagement is awkward and inconsistent

A leasing consultant pinging a ghosted prospect three weeks later with "still interested?" feels desperate. Without personalization, multi-channel orchestration, and persona awareness, manual re-engagement fails 90% of the time.

Damaged lead-source reputation and burned-out copy

Mid-funnel ghosting detection

Frontdesk monitors active prospect conversations across SMS, voice, web chat, WhatsApp, and email — and detects when a previously engaged prospect goes silent for 48–72 hours mid-funnel. Auto-flags them for re-engagement.

  • Silence detection at 48 hours post-engagement
  • Funnel-stage awareness (pre-tour, post-tour, mid-application)
  • Channel-by-channel last-touch tracking
  • PMS guest-card "ghosted" status flag in Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan
  • Configurable detection thresholds per community

Everything else your team needs

03

Cross-channel persistence with respect

Re-engagement cycles through SMS, AI voice, email, and WhatsApp — but respects opt-outs, frequency caps, and quiet hours. Persistent enough to recover ghosted pipeline, polite enough to protect sender reputation.

  • Cross-channel orchestration (SMS → voice → email)
  • Hard opt-out respect across all channels
  • Quiet-hours enforcement per time zone
  • Frequency caps per prospect
  • Auto-archive after configurable max-touches
04

Mid-application ghosting rescue

Prospects who start a Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, or ResMan application and stall get a targeted rescue sequence — guarantor help, document upload assistance, income verification options.

  • Application-step stall detection
  • Guarantor flow assistance for student housing
  • Income documentation reminder (W-2, pay stubs)
  • Section 8 / housing-voucher coordination
  • Live handoff to leasing agent for high-friction cases

01

Step 1

AI captures every prospect and resident interaction

Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.

02

Step 2

Records sync to your PMS, CRM, and calendar

Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.

03

Step 3

Automation runs follow-up across voice, SMS, and email

No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.

04

Step 4

Portfolio analytics surface what matters

Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.

FAQ

Common questions about AI Ghosted Prospect Re-engagement

Frontdesk integrates with Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software. Here's what multifamily operators ask most.

Contact support

A dormant lead has been inactive for weeks or months. A ghosted prospect went silent mid-conversation in the last 48–72 hours — they were actively engaged, then disappeared. The re-engagement playbook is different (more urgent, more personalized, more channels) and the recovery rate is higher (20–30% vs. 8–15% for dormant).
