For agencies & service businesses

The money is already in your pipeline. It's just gone quiet.

I go through your old quotes, dead leads, and warm enquiries by hand - flag the ones still worth chasing, and write the follow-ups for you to send.

No inbox access No CRM needed to start No mass email
Done by handNo scraping, no blasts. Each lead read individually.

How it works

A small, manual review - before you commit to anything.

No setup, no access request upfront. Start with a sample and find out whether there's anything worth recovering at all.

01

You send a small sample list

A spreadsheet, copied notes, an old proposal list, or a CRM export. Whatever you already have. No inbox or CRM access needed for the first pass.

02

I read each one by hand

Looking for real buying signals - quote sent, pricing discussed, a call completed, a timeline or budget mentioned, or interest that simply never got a follow-up.

03

You get priorities and drafts

A short list of leads worth chasing, a one-line reason each one matters, and simple follow-up drafts your team can send or tweak in minutes.

04

If it's working, we go wider

If the sample turns up real opportunities, the next step is a recovery sprint across a bigger list. If it doesn't, I'll tell you straight.

Example output

Concrete output. Not a 40-page report.

The point isn't to write a strategy document. It's to make old opportunities easy to act on the same afternoon you get them.

Sample data - names invented recovery_sample.csv
LeadPriorityWhy it mattersSuggested follow-up
Old proposalQuote sent after discovery call High Pricing was agreed and a proposal went out - but nobody closed the loop after they went quiet. "Circling back on the proposal from March. If priorities shifted, no worries - just wanted to close the loop properly."
Warm enquiryAsked about timing and fit Medium Showed interest but never reached the proposal stage. Worth a soft check-in, not a hard pitch. "Is this still on your radar, or has the timing changed? Happy either way - just checking in."
Low-intent enquiryVague request, no signals Skip No pricing, scope, or timeline ever discussed. Not worth your time on the first pass. No follow-up recommended for this round.
Who it's for

This isn't lead gen.

It's for opportunities that already walked into your world once - and were never properly closed, followed up, or ruled out.

You've got old proposals, quotes, and sales chats scattered across email, a CRM, notes, and spreadsheets.
Some of those people asked about pricing, scope, or timing - then went silent.
You'd rather test a small manual review than hand over access on day one.
You want follow-up drafts you can actually send, not a long strategy deck.
About

Small, manual, and honest on purpose.

I'm Marko. I run Proposal Recovery as a small, hands-on service - not a tool, not an agency with a fifty-person team.

The premise is boring but true: most agencies are sitting on old proposals and warm enquiries they never circled back to. Some are genuinely dead. A few are still worth a two-line email. The trouble is nobody has time to sort which is which.

So I do it manually. I read the sample, find the handful worth chasing, and write the follow-ups. If there's nothing there, I'll say so - that's the whole point of starting small.

Questions

Before you send anything.

Do you need access to my inbox or CRM?

No - not for the first review. A small spreadsheet, copied notes, a proposal list, or an export is plenty to get started.

Is this cold email or lead scraping?

Neither. This is only about opportunities you already have: proposals, warm enquiries, and past conversations that simply stalled.

What exactly do I get back?

A short list of contacts worth chasing, a one-line reason each one matters, and follow-up drafts your team can send or adapt.

What if my sample turns up nothing?

Then I'll tell you honestly that it's probably not worth expanding. Testing that cheaply, before you commit, is the entire idea.

Drop your email and I'll send a real sample. No call required, and nothing to sign up for.
