Your list. The same rule.

Past customers, old enquiries, unaccepted quotes or new inbound. The people on the list may be business buyers or consumers.

We work between the first conversation and a buyer ready for you. You keep your list and your existing system. The handover goes back into what you already use.

Four steps. One pipe.

• Reach out

  Check the record and the basis for contacting that person on that channel. Contact starts only where the record allows it.

• Wash

  Keep the response in the prospect’s own words. Place them where the evidence puts them. Unknown stays unknown.

• Mature

  Answer real questions. Revisit held buyers at the time they gave. Re-read the evidence before deciding what happens next.

• Hand over

  A human checks the evidence. You receive the buyer, their words and the context. You close.

Three useful outcomes.

• Ready for handover

  A buyer, their verbatim words and the context. A human approves the handover. You make the sale.

• Held with a date

  Where a person gives a return date, keep it with their words. A vague later is a pause without an invented date. Re-read the evidence before acting.

• Closed with a reason

  A structural no is recorded, with human approval before closure. A bad mood is not a reason to close someone out.

Reach beyond the familiar.

Email is configured for the programme. Calling and other channels are scoped separately, including the requirements for that market. The evidence standard stays the same.

Solve one of your own problems first.

• Membership

  Work prospects, renewals coming due or lapsed members. Find who is ready, who needs a later conversation and who should be closed out.

• Member offers

  Work an offer to your existing member base. Agree what meaningful take-up looks like before the list is contacted.

• Exhibitors and sponsors

  Work prospective exhibitors and sponsors. Hand over a stand or sponsorship conversation with specifics behind it.

A member benefit with a practical job.

Your members already paid to acquire their customers and enquiries. Ripen works what they already own.

A setup fee covers the programme, with a fee per Ready handover. Organisers can include post-show follow-up in an exhibitor package. Continuing services are monthly.

No membership roll is treated as blanket permission to contact everyone on it. The permitted channel is checked for each record.

Begin with a batch. Decide what follows.

A batch is one list worked over an agreed period. It has a start, a finish and a record of what happened. A stream handles new records continuously.

Start where there is a clear purpose and a list you can lawfully work. Agree the outcome definition, handover owner and reporting before extending it to members.

Day-one industries and managed programmes.

• Construction

  Builders, subcontractors and suppliers. Work the enquiries and unaccepted quotes you already paid for.

• Motor

  Dealers, workshops and suppliers already have a history with the people in their database.

• Recruitment

  Agencies have clients and candidates in their records. Readiness needs evidence on either side.

• Mortgage and insurance

  Managed programmes only for now. Fixed terms end. Policies renew. A past client can have a new decision to make.

• Event organisers

  Exhibitor and post-show programmes run with the organiser.

Start with what you already own.

A price request without a site or date leaves plenty unknown. A dated job with a scope and someone who can sign gives you a useful next conversation.

For the body behind the businesses.

Building and trade bodies can start with their own membership programmes, then introduce a programme for members’ customer lists.

Readiness, a later date, or a clean close.

• Ready for handover

  A buyer, their verbatim words and the context. A human approves the handover. You make the sale.

• Held with a date

  Where a person gives a return date, keep it with their words. A vague later is a pause without an invented date. Re-read the evidence before acting.

• Closed with a reason

  A structural no is recorded, with human approval before closure. A bad mood is not a reason to close someone out.

Start with what you already own.

A client asking for CVs may not have approved headcount. A candidate saying they are interested may not be ready to move. Work the next question until there is something specific.

For the body behind the businesses.

Recruitment and staffing bodies can work membership lists, then offer agencies a programme for their own records.

Start with what you already own.

Work your existing book around the dates and decisions clients give. Advice and recommendations stay with the adviser. Ripen does not work investor or capital-raise lists at this stage.

For the body behind the businesses.

Broker and adviser bodies can begin with membership or renewal programmes. A member’s client book is a separate programme with its own contact basis.

Start with what you already own.

A service interval or lease date is a reason to look at a record, not proof of readiness. The customer’s response supplies the evidence.

For the body behind the businesses.

Trade, repair, transport and motoring bodies each have their own membership needs. Their members can separately work customer lists and inbound enquiries.

Start with what you already own.

Before the show, work prospective exhibitors and sponsors. After it, work scanned leads where contact is permitted. Each programme has its own buyer, purpose and outcome.

For the body behind the businesses.

Organisers and event industry bodies can introduce post-show follow-up as part of an exhibitor package. The commercial arrangement is agreed before it is offered.

The work and the outcome.

• A setup fee

  Covers the work of preparing and running a programme.

• A fee per Ready handover

  This is the outcome. A human approves every handover, so a soft yes is never charged.

• If nothing becomes Ready

  You pay the setup fee and nothing more.

• Continuing services

  Inbound follow-up and client conversations run on a monthly subscription by volume. Client conversations also include a fee per Ready handover.

• Exhibitor packages

  Organisers can include post-show follow-up in an exhibitor package.

The work has a cost. The outcome has a value.

We do not price by dials, minutes or sends.

A human approves every Ready handover. The charging structure does not change the evidence required.

Prices are shared when we talk about your list.

The questions that matter.

Replace a quiet record with a useful answer.

Still considering it. Waiting for a change. Already gone elsewhere. Understanding the reason helps you decide where to act and where to stop.

Begin with one dormant list

Choose an offer, a period and an owner for the handovers. Check previous outreach and exclusions before contact. Review the reasons behind the results, as well as the totals.

A setup fee plus a fee per Ready handover. 90 days of nurture included.

Interest is useful. Commitment is different.

A request for information deserves an answer. A ready handover needs a concrete commitment to the next step agreed for that campaign.

Define success before the first message

Agree the permitted list, approved copy, sender, response handling and handover owner. A useful outcome might be a scoped discovery conversation, not an immediate purchase.

A setup fee plus a fee per Ready handover. 90 days of nurture included.

Carry the question forward with its context.

The proposed inbound programme brings Ripen's qualification discipline to new enquiries. Each connection to your website or systems is scoped first.

Scope one enquiry route first

Choose one entry point and one offer. Define the questions Ripen can answer, the escalation path and the commitment that earns a handover. Rehearse the route before release.

Setup, then a monthly subscription by enquiry volume.

Move at the pace the evidence supports.

A real question can show interest. Readiness requires commitment. A vague 'later' is a pause, not a date invented to keep a pipeline looking busy.

Agree what your team will take over

Define the commitment, the person who receives it and the response expected from your business. Review downstream outcomes so the programme is judged beyond the number of handovers.

Included for 90 days with every reactivation and outbound batch, then continues monthly if you want it.

Your facts. Their questions. A clear boundary.

A client-specific conversation draws on approved material and the context of that offer. It should recognise when an answer or decision belongs with your team.

Begin with one client and one offer

Review the material, test representative conversations and confirm identity, routing and escalation before release. The destination and supported next steps are part of the setup.

For complex offers that need educating. Setup, a monthly fee and a fee per Ready handover.

A blank is better than a convincing guess.

The Ripen enrichment service records what is known, where it came from and what still needs review. A found address is not permission to contact.

Start with a scoped preparation pilot

Agree the fields, source priorities, budget and acceptance rules. Review coverage and unresolved records before expanding. Personal location and contact eligibility remain separate from company HQ.

A scoping fee, then a charge per record. Provider fees are passed through at cost plus handling.
