Questions about Akemi
What operators ask before partnering
How does the performance-based model actually work?
You pay nothing upfront. We work your dormant pipeline and get paid a percentage of what we recover. If we don’t close any revenue, you don’t owe us anything. The specific percentage is something we discuss in your audit.
What types of deals do you recover?
We recover three types of dormant pipeline: stalled deals where homeowners went quiet after getting a quote, canceled projects sitting in closed-lost, and aged leads that haven’t been contacted in 3+ months. If you’ve got a CRM with any real history, there’s revenue in it to recover.
How is Akemi different from setter agencies and AI tools?
Setter agencies book appointments but don’t close. AI tools send messages but can’t handle real homeowner conversations. We do both parts of the work: reactivation outreach that gets homeowners responding, then closers who actually close the deals.
Do you replace our internal sales team?
No. Your sales team works new leads — that’s what they’re built for. Akemi closers work the dormant pipeline they don’t have time for. We work alongside your team, not instead of them.
How quickly can we start?
Most engagements begin within a week of the audit. The dormant pipeline already exists in your CRM, so there’s no ramp-up time on the recovery side. Most operators see closed revenue within the first 30 days.
What does the free pipeline audit involve?
We walk through your dormant pipeline together in a 30-60 minute conversation. You share rough counts of stalled deals, canceled projects, and aged leads, and we apply our recovery framework to calculate a specific recoverable revenue figure. No CRM access required, no obligation, no sales pitch — just a clear picture of what’s actually sitting in your pipeline.
Will this work for my industry?
Yes. The methodology came from solar but applies to any home service business with a real CRM — HVAC, roofing, insulation, windows, remodeling, anywhere homeowners with history get left in the pipeline. Dormant pipeline works the same way across home services.
What happens if Akemi doesn’t recover any revenue?
You don’t pay anything. The performance-based model means we only get paid when we close revenue — so if we don’t produce, you don’t owe us. There’s no minimum commitment, no retainer, and no risk to finding out what’s recoverable in your pipeline.
