You already paid for the lead. Now find the next sale.
HostMetric helps solar retailers turn old enquiries, lost quotes, completed installs and customer records into new battery, hot water, EV charger and re-quote conversations — before spending more on new leads. We segment the database first, so your team knows who to contact, what to offer, who to suppress and where the next sales conversations are most likely to come from.
On the example database, that’s roughly $162k in estimated campaign potential from records you already paid to acquire. Move the slider to size it against yours.
Database reactivation for solar retailersConsent-first campaign planningWorks alongside OpenSolar
The commercial problem
Before you buy more leads, reactivate the database you already own.
Most solar retailers are sitting on years of paid-for acquisition: old enquiries, lost quotes, completed installs and proposal data. The problem is not always lead volume. It is knowing which records are ready for the next offer, which need nurturing, and which should not be touched at all.
What usually gets missed
Past solar installs where battery economics may now look different.
Lost proposals where pricing, rebates, finance or timing may have changed.
Homes with solar, gas hot water, EV interest or export patterns pointing to the next electrification offer.
What HostMetric does
Clean and segment your customer and proposal data into practical campaign groups.
Rank households by likely relevance, offer fit and follow-up priority.
Turn the output into a sales-ready plan: who to contact first, what angle to use, how to follow up.
Database Opportunity Map
A sales map for the database you already paid to build.
The first output is not a blast list. It is a practical map of priority segments, next-best offers, suppression rules, message angles and estimated sales potential.
How it works
Database to booked sales conversations.
You keep using OpenSolar for design, quoting and proposals. HostMetric segments your customer, quote and proposal data into practical sales opportunities — then helps turn the right segments into approved outreach and follow-up.
Generic campaigns ask, “Who can we send this to?” Segmented reactivation asks, “Who is most likely to need this now?” Sending fewer, better-matched messages to the right parts of the database is what multiplies booked conversations — not blasting more records.
Generic blast
The same offer sent across the whole database.
High send volume, low relevance and wasted impressions.
More unsubscribes, ignored messages and mixed-quality replies.
Sales has to sift real opportunities out of the noise.
Segmented reactivation
Different offers by segment, product gap and timing.
Lower waste — poor-fit records suppressed before launch.
More relevant replies because the outreach has a reason to exist.
Sales receives prioritised, booked conversations to follow up.
The database is not the advantage on its own. The advantage is knowing which records to contact, which to suppress, what to offer each segment and how to follow up when they reply — the same list, working several times harder.

Suggested angle: “Your solar system has had a few years to prove itself. With battery options and incentives changing, it may be worth checking whether storage now makes sense.”
Where the multiple comes from
A blast talks at the list. A matched message books the call.
The multiplier isn’t abstract — it’s built one message at a time. A generic blast pushes the same offer at everyone; a context-matched message has a reason to exist, earns a reply, and becomes a booked conversation.
Generic database blast
Fast to send, low relevance — a common way to waste paid-for database value.

Data handling
Protect customer trust while finding the next opportunity.
A database-led campaign should not treat every record as a target. HostMetric can begin with a limited export or sample file, then build suppression rules before any outreach is approved.
No campaign without approval
You review the map, segments, messaging and suppression rules before anything is sent.
Consent and suppression first
Poor-fit, risky, stale or inappropriate records are excluded before activation.
Start with the data you choose
Begin with a CSV export, sample database or approved CRM view.
