# Win Back Customers Who Left, Starting With the Why

Source: https://maito.app/workflows/review-inactive-customers-before-a-win-back

Maito sorts lapsed clients by why they left, skips complaints and opt-outs, and drafts win-back offers for you to approve in Slack each month.

Lapsed clients are sorted by why they left, so the win-back offer only goes to people who would welcome it.

## How do you win back inactive customers?

To win back inactive customers, set a monthly Loop in Maito. It lists clients with no booking in your chosen window, removes complaints and opt-outs, and groups the rest by reasons they gave. It drafts an offer for each group and posts them in Slack for you to review.

## How it's done today

A blanket discount goes to everyone who stopped coming, including people who complained.

## What Maito does

1.  List clients inactive for 90 days
2.  Remove complaints and opt-outs
3.  Group by known reason
4.  Draft a fitting offer for approval

## Example

Loop run: Oct 1 9:00 AM · Monthly win-back review

**Maito** (9:00 AM):

96 clients haven't booked in 90 days. 58 are eligible.

**Excluded (38):** 9 complaints, 14 opt-outs, 6 moved away, 9 prepaid packages still unused.

**Groups:**  
• 21 colour clients, last visit before Jul 20. Suggest a $20 gloss add-on.  
• 24 cut-only clients, mostly Saturday bookers. Suggest a weekday slot.  
• 13 whose stylist, Mara, left in July. Suggest an intro with Jess, no discount.

Catch: 9 of the colour clients had a package with unused sessions. I moved them to excluded because a discount would confuse them. Source: CRM notes and bookings.

**Priya** (9:20 AM):

good. Draft the weekday message for the 24, I'll approve before it goes.

**Maito** (9:22 AM):

Draft is in your email: weekday tues to thurs cuts at $38 until Nov 15, with the booking link. Nothing is sent until you approve. I'll compare bookings from this group with the last 3 months after 2 weeks.

## What it won't do

It can't know why a client left unless someone recorded it. It also can't promise a discount works, only match offers to groups.

## Questions

### Where does the data come from?

Your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio or Pipedrive), your booking tool (Calendly or Cal.com) and email.

### Does it send the offers?

No. It drafts them, and nothing is sent until you approve.

### Does it guess why people left?

No. It uses only reasons clients told you, and marks the rest as unknown.
