Introducing Xcho: AI-Powered Lead Engagement Enters Early Access

Wait list now open for AI-powered lead engagement platform

Author: Lee Trett

Over months and years of running marketing campaigns, your CRM accumulates thousands of contacts who stalled during the sales pipeline. They filled out an enquiry form, received an initial quote, or completed a consultation - and then went quiet.

Because sales reps and advisors are focused on fresh inbound pipeline, manually working through an endless list of cold, non-responsive contacts is a poor use of human time. As a result, hundreds of thousands of pounds in historical Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) sit buried in your database, untouched.

We built Xcho to solve this exact problem.

I am excited to confirm that Xcho is officially entering early access. You can now visit by heading to xcho.ai to see how the platform works and request early access for your business.

Here is a look at what Xcho is, how it re-engages quiet prospects safely, and why reactivating your existing database is the fastest route to revenue.

What is Xcho?

At its core, Xcho is an AI-powered lead engagement and reactivation platform. Co-founded alongside my Echo Finance partner, John Tarazi, Xcho was built to automate the two most labor-intensive parts of sales pipeline management: making initial contact with fresh enquiries and re-engaging prospects who have gone quiet.

Instead of sending generic bulk marketing emails that end up in spam folders, Xcho conducts personalized, human-sounding two-way conversations across SMS and WhatsApp to re-ignite prospect interest and book calls directly into your calendar.

How Xcho Reactivates Quiet Leads:

  • Compliant Multi-Channel Outreach: For older or non-responsive leads, Xcho initiates contact via a compliant SMS text message first. Once the prospect responds or opts in, Xcho transitions the conversation to WhatsApp, protecting your brand from spam filters while delivering high open rates.

  • Trainable Brand Persona: You set the exact tone, voice, and boundaries of the AI—whether you want it to sound friendly, professional, or assertive. It converses naturally and is trained to answer questions, handle common objections, and keep conversations focused on booking a call.

  • Targeted Campaign Integration: Hooked directly into your CRM, Xcho runs tailored reactivation workflows. For example, a mortgage broker can launch a campaign targeting past clients who completed a mortgage purchase but never took out life insurance, automatically introducing protection coverage to homeowners.

  • Direct Calendar Booking: Once a quiet prospect expresses interest, Xcho places the booking directly into your preferred diary system—including Calendly, Google Calendar, or Microsoft 365—before handing off a fully summarised prospect to your team.

Why Reactivating Cold Leads Beats Buying New Ones

Acquiring a brand-new lead today costs significantly more than it did three years ago across almost every industry. Yet, most businesses ignore the warm audience already in their system.

Cross-Industry Applications

While Xcho was engineered with financial services in mind, its re-engagement capabilities apply to any business that relies on client pipelines:

  • Mortgage & Protection Brokers: Re-engage past borrowers whose fixed-rate terms are expiring, or run targeted cross-sell campaigns for life and income protection.

  • Fitness & Gym Operations: Automatically reach out to former members or unclosed trial pass holders with tailored renewal offers.

  • E-Commerce & Local Services: Target past quotes or seasonal customers with timed promotional check-ins.

  • Professional & B2B Services: Re-open conversations with prospects who received proposals six months ago but stalled due to timing or budget constraints.
