Omnichannel Trader Reactivation Sequence Template

Day-by-day voice, email and SMS sequence template for dormant traders: channel roles, message intent per touch, stop and branch rules, consent notes.

Who it is for
Retention, CRM and ops leads at forex and CFD brokerages who want calls, email and SMS working as one sequence instead of three unconnected campaigns
Time to complete
60 minutes

This is the 14-day sequence a brokerage runs against one dormant segment, with the AI call doing the talking and email and SMS doing the setup and the follow-through. Each touch has a day, a channel, a single intent and a rule for when it does not go out. Filled in, it's the document your retention lead hands to whoever builds the campaign in the calling platform, the email tool and the CRM, and the one your compliance officer signs before the first message leaves.

1. Sequence setup

One sequence, one segment, one action. Fill this before touching the day-by-day table; every touch below is built around these answers.

  • The one action every touch points at

    Pick a single outcome: fund the account again, log back into MT4/MT5, refresh an expired KYC document, or book a call with an account manager. A sequence that asks for two things in the same week gets neither.

    Action: ____________________

  • The dormant segment this sequence runs on

    Name it the way your CRM or MT4/MT5 export defines it, for example "no trade in 90 to 365 days, balance above minimum lot". Run a separate copy of this template for each segment so you can see which one pays back.

    Segment: ____________________ Accounts: ______

  • Channels the segment is actually cleared for

    Check three separate consent flags per trader, not one marketing flag. A trader who's fine to email may not be fine to call, and SMS usually has its own opt-in. Section 6 covers what to verify.

    Call: ___ Email: ___ SMS: ___ (count of cleared accounts)

  • Sequence length and hard end date

    The template runs 14 calendar days from the first email. Shorten it if the segment is small or the offer expires; never let it run open-ended, because touch 10 is where you tell the trader you're stopping.

    Start: ____/____ End: ____/____

  • Daily cap for the first five days

    Start with a cap so a broken merge field or a wrong caller ID reaches a few hundred traders, not the whole book. Lift it once the section 8 checks pass.

    Day 1 to 5 cap: ______ / day

  • Who can pause the whole sequence

    One name, reachable during every call window. Pausing calls but leaving SMS running is the usual mess, so the pause has to cover all three tools.

    Name: __________ Phone: __________

2. What each channel does

Each channel gets one job. When email starts trying to persuade and SMS starts trying to explain, the sequence turns into noise and the opt-outs climb.

2. What each channel does
ChannelJob in this sequenceUse it forDon't use it forConsent to check
AI callThe conversation: find out what changed, answer the trader's question, take the action or book the humanAsking why they stopped trading, handling objections, live handoff to an account manager, KYC and deposit walkthroughsDelivering links, reading out terms, chasing a trader who already said noMarketing call consent per jurisdiction, DNC and internal suppression, calling hours
EmailSetup and reference: tell them a call is coming, then leave the detail they can act on laterThe heads-up before day 1, what's new since they left, the deposit or KYC link, the close-out noteUrgency, countdown offers, anything a trader has to reply toMarketing email opt-in or existing-customer basis, working unsubscribe link
SMSThe short nudge: missed-call note and a one-line reply promptMissed call follow-up within the hour, a single reply-to-book question, the link the trader asked for on the callOffers, product news, anything over two sentences, first contact with a trader you've never calledSeparate SMS marketing opt-in, STOP keyword handling, sender ID rules for the country
Human account managerThe close: takes over once the trader has said yes to somethingCallbacks booked by the AI agent, complaints, large-balance accounts flagged in section 1First contact on a long dormant book (that's what the AI call is for)Same call consent as the AI call; recording notice if the line is recorded

3. The 14-day sequence

Days count from the first email. Call attempts rotate across three time windows so a trader who never picks up at 10am gets tried at 6pm. Any answered call jumps to the branches in section 5 and the remaining touches are cancelled or replaced.

  • Confirm the call attempt count and gaps against your cadence template

    Four attempts over 12 days is the default here. If your Forex Reactivation Call Cadence Template says three, drop call 3 and keep the day 12 courtesy close, because that last call is the one that produces clean opt-outs instead of complaints.

    Attempts: ____ Windows: ____ / ____ / ____

  • Set the send hour for every email and SMS in the trader's local time

    Pull the country from the CRM, not from the phone prefix alone. An SMS that lands at 2am local is the fastest way to a STOP and a complaint.

    Email hour: ______ SMS hour: ______ (local)

3. The 14-day sequence
DayChannelIntentWhat it says or doesSkip or stop if
Day 0Email 1Warm the numberFrom a named person at the brokerage: we noticed the account has been quiet, someone will call in the next few days, here's the number that will show on their phone, reply or unsubscribe if they'd rather not.No email consent; hard bounce; unsubscribe (cancel email only, calls continue if separately consented)
Day 1AI call 1Reach and listenOpens with the AI disclosure and the brokerage name, asks whether they're still trading and what changed. Takes the section 1 action if the trader is ready; otherwise books a callback.Trader is outside legal calling hours; number on DNC or suppression list; email 1 reply said don't call
Day 1SMS 1Missed-call noteSent within the hour if call 1 wasn't answered: who called, why, and one line to reply YES for a callback or STOP to end contact.No SMS consent; call 1 was answered; country restricts marketing SMS
Day 3AI call 2Second windowSame opening, different time of day. If SMS 1 got a YES, this becomes the booked callback instead of a cold attempt.Call 1 answered; opt-out on any channel; trader replied STOP
Day 4Email 2What's new since they leftThree things that changed since their last trade: platform, instruments, spreads or funding methods. One link to the section 1 action. No countdown, no bonus language unless compliance has signed it.Email 1 unsubscribe; any answered call already recorded an outcome
Day 6AI call 3Third windowEvening or weekend attempt where legal. Shorter opening: still trading? Want a call back or should we leave the account as it is?Either earlier call answered; max attempts in your cadence template is lower than 4
Day 7SMS 2One questionOne line: is the account worth keeping open? Reply YES for a call back, STOP to end contact. Nothing else.SMS 1 got any reply; no SMS consent; opt-out recorded anywhere
Day 10Email 3Practical helpRemoves the practical blocker: how to refresh KYC, funding methods available in their country, the account manager's name and direct line. One link.Unsubscribe; an outcome is already recorded from a call or reply
Day 12AI call 4Last attemptCourtesy close: we've tried a few times, we'll stop calling after today, would you like the account kept open or closed? Records the answer and the reason.Any earlier answer; opt-out; segment cap on attempts reached
Day 14Email 4Close-outWe'll stop reaching out. One link to the section 1 action that stays live, and the account manager's contact. Marks the trader unreachable in the CRM.Unsubscribe; already reactivated; already marked do not contact

4. Message intent and wording per touch

Write the actual words here, then send this section to compliance. The AI agent gets the opening line and the objection answers; the email and SMS tools get the rest.

  • AI disclosure and opening line for call 1

    State that it's an automated call from your brokerage in the first sentence, then the reason for calling in the second. Confirm the exact disclosure wording with compliance; requirements differ by jurisdiction and it should be there anyway.

    Opening: ____________________

  • The one question the agent asks after the opening

    Keep it open: what made you stop trading with us? The answers (moved brokers, lost money, life got busy, KYC hassle, spreads) each get a scripted response in your objection handling flow.

    Question: ____________________

  • Email 1 subject line and sender name

    A real person's name in the from field and a plain subject like "A call from [brokerage] this week". Say which number will show on their phone so the call isn't screened as spam.

    From: __________ Subject: ____________________

  • SMS 1 missed-call text, under 160 characters

    Brokerage name, why you called, YES to book a call back, STOP to end contact. Count the characters including the sender ID if your country replaces it with a long number.

    Text: ____________________

  • Email 2: the three things that changed

    Specific and true: a new instrument list, a platform version, a funding method now available in their country. No bonus or deposit incentive here unless it has gone through financial promotion review.

    1: __________ 2: __________ 3: __________

  • SMS 2 one-line question

    One question, two reply keywords. If you can't fit it in one line, it belongs in an email.

    Text: ____________________

  • Call 4 courtesy close and email 4 close-out wording

    Both say the same thing: we'll stop, here's how to reach us if you change your mind. Traders who hear a clear ending complain less and come back on their own terms.

    Close line: ____________________

  • Offer or incentive wording, if any

    If the sequence carries any incentive (spread reduction, fee waiver, credit), write it once here and use the identical wording in every channel. Mismatched offer wording across call, email and SMS is a compliance finding waiting to happen.

    Offer: ____________________ Reviewed by: __________

5. Stop and branch rules

A trader who answers on day 1 must not get email 2 on day 4 as if nothing happened. Each trigger below cancels what's left of the sequence and starts something specific, and the CRM update is what makes the other tools see it.

  • Test every row with an internal number before launch

    Answer call 1 from a staff phone, say "not interested", and confirm email 2 never arrives. Then reply STOP to SMS 1 from another staff phone and check all four systems show do-not-contact the same day.

    Tested by: __________ Date: ____/____

7. CRM fields and tracking

The sequence only works if all three tools read and write the same trader record. Set these fields up before launch and test the write-back from each tool.

  • Confirm each tool writes to the CRM within minutes, not on a nightly sync

    A nightly sync means a trader who says "not interested" at 9am gets email 2 at 10am. If a tool can only sync nightly, move its sends to the morning after the CRM update.

    Calling: ____ min Email: ____ min SMS: ____ min

8. Review after the first cycle

Hold this on day 15 with the numbers from section 7. Decide per channel, not for the sequence as a whole.

  • Connect rate and conversation rate for the AI calls

    Answered calls divided by dialed numbers, and calls over 30 seconds divided by answered calls. Compare traders who got email 1 with any who didn't; if the heads-up email isn't lifting connect rate, drop it.

    Connect: ____ % Conversation: ____ %

  • Reply rate on SMS 1 and SMS 2

    YES replies and STOP replies as separate percentages of delivered messages. A STOP rate that outruns the YES rate means the text is landing as spam; rewrite or remove it.

    YES: ____ % STOP: ____ %

  • Section 1 action rate by channel of last touch

    Which touch was the last one before the trader deposited, logged in or refreshed KYC? This is the number that tells you where to spend next cycle.

    Call: ____ Email: ____ SMS: ____ Human: ____

  • Cost per reactivated trader

    Total AI call minutes times $0.35, plus your email and SMS provider costs for the cycle, divided by traders with a reactivation_result other than none.

    (____ min x $0.35 + $____) / ____ traders = $____

  • Opt-out and complaint counts per channel

    Any complaint gets the recording or message pulled and reviewed with compliance before the next cycle starts.

    Call: ____ Email: ____ SMS: ____ Complaints: ____

  • Segment decision

    Continue the sequence as is, change one touch, or retire the segment. Change one thing per cycle so you can tell what did it.

    Decision: __________ Changed: __________
