Your CRM is quietly sitting on money you already paid for. Aged quote leads nobody ever followed up on. Policyholders who lapsed or cancelled and were never called back. Quote-no-bind prospects who got a number and went silent. Research from Invesp puts the odds of selling to an existing contact at 60 to 70 percent, against 5 to 20 percent for a cold prospect, and Harvard Business Review found 23 percent of online sales leads never get a single response at all. Meanwhile, J.D. Power's 2026 U.S. Insurance Shopping Study puts auto shopping at 53 percent this year, so people who left you are genuinely back in market. The catch is staffing. Most agencies don't have producers with time to dial 1,500 dormant contacts and work each one six times. That's where win-back and reactivation calling services come in. We compared five approaches for 2026, from managed AI calling campaigns to traditional human-agent call centers, so you can match the option to your list, your budget, and your compliance obligations.
#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time campaign setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. No per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you didn't choose. First campaign review is free.
My AI Call Center is a done-for-you managed outbound calling service run by AIQ Labs, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia with a US operating base in Austin, Texas. It runs structured AI-powered win-back and reactivation campaigns against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists only. You buy a campaign with one clear goal (for example, "reactivate 12 to 24 month dormant auto policyholders before their renewal window"), and the team runs it for you. The whole thing is quoted before launch: calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted up front. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free. What makes it different from the rest of this list is list discipline and compliance built into the process, not bolted on afterward. Before anything launches, the team reviews your list source and consent records. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. They tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. On the compliance side, AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, which means prior express consent is required. Every call carries AI disclosure (recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out), keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored immediately, and DNC requests are carried into your client DNC records across all campaigns. State-specific quiet hours, day restrictions, and registration rules are respected. Recording is optional and only happens with disclosure and consent. For insurance agencies working lapsed policyholder lists, that consent-first posture is the difference between a campaign that recovers premium and one that generates complaints. Outcomes route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM with disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, renewed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, and follow-up requests. Reporting follows a "no invented numbers" philosophy: you get a dispositioned contact list, outcome counts, routed follow-ups, a completion/coverage report, and opt-out and DNC logs. Nothing more, nothing invented. Beyond single win-back pushes, the Database Reactivation Blitz campaign runs structured multi-touch sequences across calls, texts, and emails over two to four weeks, and multi-language campaigns (Spanish most common) are available for diverse books of business. For an insurance shop that wants dormant revenue recovered without hiring dialers or buying software seats, it's a clean fit.
Pros
- Managed service: you buy campaigns with one clear goal, quoted in full before launch, instead of learning and staffing a dialer platform
- Consent records verified before dialing; bought lists without permission records are flagged and usually declined
- TCPA-aligned by design: AI disclosure on every call, keyword opt-outs, DNC handling carried into your records, state-specific calling rules honored
- Outcomes route into your existing CRM and scheduling tools with full disposition reporting, so producers pick up warm without starting over
- Rate locked for the campaign with no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose
Cons
- Only works with approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists; it won't cold-call purchased lists without consent records
- You approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path before launch, which adds a short setup phase
- Managed service model gives you less hands-on control than running your own dialer software
Best for: Insurance agencies and multi-location brokerages sitting on dormant policyholder lists, lapsed quotes, and 12 to 24 month inactive contacts who want a managed, compliance-first reactivation campaign without hiring dialers or buying software seats.
#2 OnBrand24 — Contact for pricing (quotes via free quote request or 15-minute call)
OnBrand24 is an established outbound call center that cites 30+ years of service, and it offers a dedicated customer win-back program. According to their website, the win-back engagement starts with research into why customers were lost, then moves to outbound re-engagement calls handled by trained human agents who work through hundreds or thousands of inactive accounts. For an insurance agency, that means real conversations with lapsed policyholders and quote-no-bind prospects: understanding why they left, uncovering sales opportunities, identifying decision makers, and handing closeable leads to your inside sales team or producers to finish. Their published case study describes a national promotional products company where agents re-engaged more than 3,000 inactive customers and identified nearly 1,000 closeable leads referred to the client's inside sales team for immediate sale or scheduled appointments. OnBrand24 also notes that every dial generates updated customer data, which doubles as ongoing database scrubbing. That matters for insurance shops whose CRM records for dormant accounts have gone stale over 12 to 24 months of silence. Campaigns are positioned as scalable from hundreds to thousands of accounts without adding headcount on your side, and the win-back program pairs with adjacent services like B2B database scrubbing, market research, appointment setting, and B2B lead generation. Pricing is not published; you get a quote through a free quote request or a 15-minute discovery call.
Pros
- 30+ years of call center experience with a documented win-back case study
- Research-first approach looks at why customers left before outreach starts
- Every dial doubles as database scrubbing, keeping your CRM current
- Scales from hundreds to thousands of accounts without adding your own staff
Cons
- Traditional human-agent model with no published per-minute or per-lead rates, so costs must be quoted
- Agents call existing inactive accounts; consent verification isn't described as a stated feature on their win-back page
- No AI or automated calling options are mentioned on their win-back page
Best for: Insurance agencies and B2C operations that want a traditional human-agent call center to work large databases of inactive accounts and hand closeable leads to a producer or inside sales team.
#3 MarketStar — Contact for pricing
MarketStar is an outsourced sales and customer success provider with a dedicated Win-Back & Reactivation practice. According to their website, MarketStar treats lapsed customers as opportunities rather than losses, and its reactivation services focus on reclaiming and reigniting connections through personalized, insight-driven strategies. The work begins with segmentation: categorizing lapsed accounts by value, behavior, and reason for churn so outreach is matched to the segment rather than blasted uniformly. For an insurance agency, that maps well onto the way dormant books actually break down (recent quote-no-bind prospects, single-line households, multi-line policyholders who cancelled, and long-dormant contacts), since each of those groups needs a different reason to come back. Because MarketStar operates as an outsourced customer success function rather than a pure dialing shop, the fit is best for agencies and brokerages that want win-back handled as part of a broader customer lifecycle motion. The practice sits alongside MarketStar's wider outsourced sales and customer success services, so a reactivation push can connect to renewal conversations and ongoing account coverage instead of running as an isolated campaign. Pricing is not published on their site; it's a contact-for-pricing engagement. If you want a partner that will own the segmentation thinking and the outreach execution together, MarketStar is worth a conversation. If you want per-minute transparency or a self-serve dialer, it's the wrong shape.
Pros
- Segmentation-first approach matches message to why the customer went dormant
- Win-back practice sits inside a broader customer success offering, so it connects to renewals and account coverage
- Personalized, insight-driven outreach rather than a uniform blast
- Treats lapsed customers as recoverable opportunities, which suits long insurance renewal cycles
Cons
- Pricing is not published; it's a sales-conversation engagement
- Sold as an outsourced service, so you won't get self-serve dialer control
- Less suited to agencies that just want a single scripted reactivation push on a fixed budget
Best for: Insurance agencies and brokerages that want win-back handled as part of a broader outsourced customer success and lifecycle motion, with segmentation thinking included.
#4 Hatch — Contact for pricing (sold through a sales call; pricing not published in research)
Hatch is a multi-channel outreach platform built around CRM-based rules that identify dormant contacts and launch multi-day, multi-channel outreach automatically. According to their website, the product texts and emails aged leads and past customers until they book again, and its AI answers questions about the quote, handles objections, and keeps the conversation moving. The research listing notes it's built for any size organization in home services, sold through a sales call, with pricing not published. For insurance agencies, the interesting piece is the CRM-rules engine: you define what "dormant" means (say, no contact in 12 months, or a quote issued with no bind), and Hatch starts the sequence without a producer having to build the list. The honest caveat for insurance is channel fit. Hatch's reactivation motion leans on text and email, and insurance outreach is heavily regulated: the TCPA, the National Do Not Call Registry, state mini-TCPAs, and state insurance department rules all apply to dormant contact lists, and texting a dormant list is regulated much like cold calling. You'll want to confirm how Hatch handles quiet hours, opt-outs, and consent records before pointing it at a lapsed policyholder book. That said, for an agency that already lives in a supported CRM and wants aged quote leads worked with AI handling the back-and-forth once a prospect replies, Hatch is a credible option. Just do the compliance homework first.
Pros
- CRM rules identify dormant contacts and launch sequences without manual list building
- AI handles replies, quote questions, and objections so producers only join when a prospect is engaged
- Multi-day, multi-channel cadence keeps working the list instead of one-and-done touches
- Fits any size organization per the research listing
Cons
- Reactivation leans on text and email, and insurance outreach is heavily regulated (TCPA, National DNC, state mini-TCPAs, state insurance rules)
- Research listing notes home services as the built-for segment, so insurance fit needs to be validated
- Pricing is not published; sold through a sales call
- Consent and quiet-hours handling for dormant lists should be confirmed before you point it at policyholder data
Best for: Insurance agencies already running a supported CRM who want aged quote leads and past customers worked automatically through text and email until they book.
#5 Sameday — $449 a month (per research listing)
Sameday is an AI calling and texting product that works through your past customer list at a pace you set and books the ones who answer. According to their vendor listing, "the AI calls and texts through the list at a pace you set, in your voice," and it's built for any size organization in home services. Of the products in this comparison, it's one of the few with a published price: $449 a month. For an insurance agency testing reactivation for the first time, that transparency is genuinely useful. You can model cost per reactivated policyholder against a known monthly number instead of waiting on a quote. The fit question for insurance is the same one that applies to every automated dialer on this list. Calling and texting a dormant policyholder list is regulated like solicitation: the TCPA treats AI-generated and pre-recorded voices as artificial voices requiring prior express written consent, the National Do Not Call Registry applies to personal lines, and states like Florida and Oklahoma cap attempts per rolling 24-hour window. Sameday's self-serve, in-your-voice model puts the compliance work on you: scrubbing against federal and state DNC, configuring calling windows by the recipient's time zone, disclosing recording where two-party consent applies, and verifying producer licensing in the prospect's state. If you have the ops discipline to run that yourself and want a fixed monthly cost, Sameday is a reasonable starting point for a small reactivation push.
Pros
- Published pricing at $449 a month, so you can model cost per reactivated policyholder up front
- Calls and texts the list at a pace you control, in your voice
- Books the customers who answer directly, not just flags them
- Fits any size organization per the research listing
Cons
- Compliance work (DNC scrubbing, calling windows, recording disclosure, consent records) sits with you, since insurance outreach is heavily regulated
- Research listing notes home services as the built-for segment, so insurance fit should be validated
- Self-serve tool model means you supply the list hygiene and the escalation path to a licensed producer
Best for: Insurance agencies that want a fixed-cost AI calling and texting tool to work their own past-customer list and handle compliance in-house.
Reactivation is usually the highest-ROI move an insurance agency can make this quarter, and the reason is arithmetic. Reactivate 3 percent of 1,500 dormant contacts and you've written 45 policies you didn't pay a lead vendor for, and because insurance renews, that premium compounds every year the policy stays on the books. The question is execution and compliance. If you want a managed campaign with consent records checked before a single dial, AI disclosure on every call, and outcomes routed back into your CRM with real disposition codes, My AI Call Center is the place to start. The first campaign review is free, calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute with the rate locked for the campaign, and you'll know the full number before you approve launch. Bring your goal, your list volume and relationship, and whatever consent records you have. Plan My Campaign at https://myaicallcenter.app/campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
What makes My AI Call Center different from a dialer I could run myself?
It's a managed service, not software. You buy a campaign with one clear goal (say, reactivate 12 to 24 month dormant policyholders), and their team runs it for you: list and consent review, script and disclosure approval, launch inside approved windows, and outcome routing back into your CRM. With a self-serve dialer like Sameday, you own the list hygiene, the DNC scrubbing, the calling-window configuration, and the escalation path. With My AI Call Center, calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute with the rate locked for the campaign, plus a one-time setup and flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. No per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you didn't choose.
Can I call lapsed policyholders who cancelled two years ago?
You can, but the compliance bar is real. Under the TCPA, AI-generated and pre-recorded voices are treated as artificial voices, which means prior express consent is required. The National Do Not Call Registry applies to personal lines (auto, home, life, health), and there's an existing-business-relationship exemption for current customers, generally within 18 months. State mini-TCPAs add more: Florida caps attempts at 3 per 24 hours with an 8 AM to 8 PM window, Oklahoma has a similar cap, and Washington and Maryland carry penalties up to $25,000 per violation. My AI Call Center reviews list source and consent records before any campaign launches and will tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined.
How long should a contact be dormant before I run a win-back campaign?
My AI Call Center's Win-Back & Reactivation Calling is typically scoped around 12 to 24 month dormants, which lines up with when a policyholder is statistically back in market. J.D. Power's 2026 U.S. Insurance Shopping Study puts auto shopping at 53 percent this year, so people who left are actively shopping. Separately, quote-no-bind prospects (someone who got a price and went quiet) are warmer than true dormants and worth a shorter fuse. Insurance Database Reactivation Playbook research notes that connecting with a lead often takes six or more touches, so plan the cadence, not a single call.
What should a reactivation campaign report back to me?
At minimum: a dispositioned contact list, outcome counts, routed follow-ups, a completion/coverage report, and opt-out and DNC logs. My AI Call Center reports exactly that, with disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, renewed, opted out, no answer) and per-call notes, and follows a "no invented numbers" policy: they don't invent client logos, testimonials, metrics, or ratings. Opt-outs are logged and honored immediately. If a vendor can't show you the disposition breakdown and the opt-out log, treat that as a warning sign.
Should I use calls, texts, or email for win-back?
The channel data leans toward text for the first touch: Gartner research cited in the Insurance Database Reactivation Playbook puts SMS open rates at 98 percent with 90 percent read within three minutes, against roughly 20 percent for email, and SMS response rates around 45 percent against 6 percent for email. But insurance outreach is regulated across all three channels, and the pattern that works is SMS to wake them up, email to make the case, and a call to catch the ones who reply but don't book. My AI Call Center's Database Reactivation Blitz runs structured multi-touch across calls, texts, and emails over two to four weeks, which matches that pattern.
How much does win-back calling cost?
It varies by model. My AI Call Center starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign, plus a one-time setup fee and flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch, and the first campaign review is free. Sameday publishes $449 a month in the research listing. OnBrand24 and MarketStar both work on contact-for-pricing quotes. Traditional call centers like OnBrand24 quote per engagement, and some reactivation vendors in the wider market charge revenue share or per booking, so get the full terms in writing before you sign.
What list should I hand over first?
Start with the segment that already trusted you: quote-no-bind prospects (they asked for a price in the last 12 months), then lapsed or cancelled policyholders with clean consent records, then 12 to 24 month dormant single-line households. Bring your list source and consent records to the campaign review. My AI Call Center checks those before anything launches, and the booking funnel captures goal, list volume and relationship, consent records, and regulated-area flags, with "not sure" answers triggering a manual review. If the list won't support the campaign, you'll hear that before you spend.
