From Aged Leads to $366K in Leases: How Voice AI Revived a Property’s Pipeline
From Bottleneck to Breakthrough
A busy property management company was paying for marketing… but 4,000 leads were aging in the CRM.
Leasing teams were overwhelmed, calls went unanswered, and follow-ups slipped. Cash flow suffered.
Instead of hiring more staff, they piloted Thinkrr’s Outbound Voice AI on one asset — turning “dead” records into a fully booked tour calendar and $366,000 in signed leases in about 25 days.
“These operators are smart and well-funded. The one job that moves the needle—calling the leads—just wasn’t happening. Voice AI fixed that.”
The Turning Point: Speed + Consistency (Without Headcount)
The goal wasn’t “more marketing” — it was monetize what already exists:
Old web inquiries never called back
Missed inbound calls never returned
“Interested” prospects that went cold after day one
Thinkrr’s Outbound Voice AI + pre-call SMS (text first, call two minutes later) created trust, boosted pickup rates, and moved prospects straight to booked tours — all while updating the CRM in real time.
The Campaign (One Asset, ≈25 Days)
Metric | Result |
|---|---|
Aged leads processed | 4,000 |
Pickup rate | 20% (≈800 live conversations) |
Qualified hot leads | 128 |
Appointments booked | 44 |
Showed | 30 |
Signed leases | 18 |
Total lease value | $366,000 USD |
The report hit leadership’s desk and triggered immediate action: 40 more properties onboarded—no debate.
Why It Worked (And Why Humans Alone Struggle)
Speed-to-Lead & Re-Lead
AI calls back instantly and keeps following up—without burnout.Pre-Call SMS → “Maybe [Agent Name] is calling”
A short text increased trust and reduced spam flagging.One Job, Done Exceptionally Well
The AI focused on FAQs and booking tours—nothing else.Operational Fit
Every call logged, note captured, and appointment set—inside the CRM.Simple Cost vs. Massive Value
One lease justified the cost. Eighteen made it a no-brainer.
Inside the Setup (So You Can Replicate It)
Audit the Gap – Call the property multiple times daily; log missed calls.
Show the Math – Translate missed calls into daily $$ lost and 12-month lease value.
Launch a Pilot – Import 4,000 aged leads, enable pre-call SMS, and run the AI dialer.
Measure Ruthlessly – Track every step: calls → pickups → tours → leases → $.
Present & Roll Out – Let the results sell it. Clone property by property.
“I don’t even ‘sell’ it anymore. I show the report, demo one call, and they ask to roll it out.”
The Numbers Behind the Numbers
20% pickup rate wasn’t luck — pre-call SMS improved trust and caller ID visibility.
Scripts focused on tour booking only, reducing friction.
Consistent AI follow-up revived years of sunk lead costs.
Lessons You Can Steal This Week
Text first, call second. Two-minute heads-up = higher answer rates.

What It Means for Operators
You don’t need another marketing channel — you need follow-through.
Voice AI delivers the speed, stamina, and logging humans can’t sustain.
Your team spends more time touring, not chasing.
Final Thoughts
This wasn’t about “cool tech.” It was about cash flow.
One outbound pass on 4,000 aged leads → $366,000 in lease value → portfolio rollout to 40 properties.
Simple solution. Small pricing. Big wins.
