Which dormant relationships are worth reviving?
“Which of my old contacts are worth getting back in touch with?”
The relationships worth reviving are real ones that have gone quiet, with people whose careers have grown since. We score each contact on those three things, find a reason to write (a new role, a board seat, a cause) and return the list, most valuable first.
Who it’s for
Anyone with a large, old address book: senior executives, partners, advisors, founders.
What we look for in your network
- How close you really were, from the evidence you kept
- How long the silence has lasted
- How far their career has gone since
- A reason to write today
- Who can reintroduce you if the link has cooled

+ 350 more relationships worth reviving in the full document, each with its reason
Fictional people and companies. The level of detail is real.
What you receive
Your dormant relationships worth reviving, ranked, each with how you knew them, what changed and a reason to write.
It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.
An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.
You choose who stays out of the search.
Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.
Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.
Questions
- How do you know how close we were?
- From evidence you already hold: shared employers and dates, LinkedIn exchanges, dated notes. Optionally, message counts computed on your own computer, never the content.
- Will it flag people who passed away?
- Yes. We check before you write, and take them off your call lists.
- How many names?
- Usually a few hundred worth a look, and the top thirty or so worth a call this month.
