If you run an Airbnb co-hosting business, you already know the pattern. An owner inquires about your services, you exchange a few messages, they ghost, and three months later they're still sitting in your CRM doing nothing. Industry research suggests over 80% of leads are neglected after initial outreach, and reactivating those dormant contacts can lift conversion rates by 15% or more. For co-hosts, the opportunity is even more pointed: with Airbnb's co-host network now exceeding 15,000 co-hosts managing over 100,000 listings, and more than 40% of hosts saying they'd list more properties if they had help, the owners who once expressed interest are exactly the clients you want back. The catch is that reactivation takes consistent, fast follow-up, which is hard to do while juggling guest messaging, turnovers, and calendars across multiple owners. That's where a reactivation partner comes in. We compared three providers on how they revive old leads, what they cost, and how well they fit a co-hosting operation. Here are our picks for 2026.
#1 Worqd — Contact for pricing. No public rate card; work is scoped on a free growth call and you only pay for conversations that come back.
Worqd takes the top spot because it treats reactivation as part of a whole growth system rather than a standalone blast. It's an AI-powered growth agency, a retainer-style partner run by AIQ Labs out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and it works with you remotely. Its Pipeline Recovery service is built specifically to turn the contacts already sitting in your CRM back into booked calls, and it works with your existing CRM, so there's no platform switch and no new tool to learn. That matters for co-hosts who already run their owner pipelines through spreadsheets, email, or a CRM they like. The mechanics are where Worqd separates itself. AI SDRs and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives, with every inquiry qualified in under 60 seconds, 24/7, including after-hours and weekends. Worqd reports a 4-7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up, at 70-80% lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team. For a co-hosting business, that means the owner who messaged you at 9 PM on a Saturday gets a real conversation instead of silence. Pricing is performance-minded: you only pay for the conversations that come back, and costs are scoped on a free growth call rather than a public rate card. One caveat worth knowing: Worqd is a service partner, not a dashboard, so if you want software to log into daily, look elsewhere. If you want booked calls from the leads you already paid for, it's the strongest fit on this list.
Pros
- Works with your existing CRM, so no migration or new software to learn
- Under-60-second response to every inquiry, including nights and weekends
- Performance-oriented pricing: you pay for conversations that come back, not hours logged
- One partner covers the whole path from first click to booked call, so ads, creative, and follow-up stay aligned
- Transparent about evidence and won't fabricate results or testimonials
Cons
- No public pricing, so you need a growth call to get a quote
- It's a service partner, not a self-serve platform, so there's no dashboard to manage yourself
- Retainer-style engagement may be more than a solo co-host with a handful of listings needs
Best for: Airbnb co-hosts and small property management teams who have a backlog of interested owners in their CRM and want a done-for-you partner that revives those leads and books calls, without switching tools or hiring an in-house SDR.
#2 Pete & Gabi (Olivia) — Contact for pricing. No public rate card was found in our research.
Pete & Gabi builds AI sales agents for customer reactivation, and its flagship agent, Olivia, is designed specifically to bring back lost customers and recover revenue from dormant accounts. According to the company's website, Olivia handles high-volume outbound calling, qualifies intent in real time, adapts to objections, assesses customer sentiment, and offers personalized win-back incentives during the call. For a co-hosting business with a long list of owners who inquired months ago and never signed, a voice-first reactivation agent can work through that backlog faster than any manual email sequence. The deployment model is practical. Olivia is described as plug-and-play, integrating with existing CRMs, and the company says it starts generating revenue within days. It also updates your CRM automatically with call outcomes and notes, and escalates hot conversations directly to your sales team, which in your case means warm owner conversations routed straight to you. The agent captures consent during calls, and the company positions itself as compliance-ready. Where it fits less cleanly is channel breadth. Olivia is voice-first, with limited visual chat capability, so if your dormant leads are email-first contacts who rarely answer unknown numbers, results may vary. The company also notes that best results require clean escalation rules, which means you'll want to think through how hot leads get handed off before you launch.
Pros
- Purpose-built for reactivation rather than generic outreach
- Handles high-volume calling without quality degradation
- Fast deployment, with revenue generation reported within days
- Automatic CRM updates keep your owner pipeline current
Cons
- Voice-first approach with limited visual chat capability
- Best results require clean escalation rules set up in advance
- No published pricing
Best for: Co-hosting businesses whose dormant leads are phone-reachable and who want an autonomous AI agent to work the backlog without adding headcount.
#3 Callbox — Contact for pricing. No public pricing was found in our research.
Callbox is a long-established B2B lead generation company that offers appointment setting and lead nurturing services, and it appears on industry roundups of proven old lead reactivation providers. According to those roundups, Callbox uses varied methods of lead engagement, from targeted email campaigns to more sophisticated systems, to re-engage contacts that have gone quiet. For a co-hosting operation, that translates into a partner that can run structured nurture campaigns against your list of past owner inquiries and book appointments with the ones who are ready to talk. The appointment-setting angle is the main draw. Rather than just sending emails and hoping, Callbox combines multi-channel outreach with a nurturing workflow, so a dormant lead gets touched several times before a meeting is requested. That staged approach suits property owners, who often take months to decide whether to hand off management of their rental. If your old lead list includes owners who went cold for timing reasons rather than fit reasons, a patient nurture sequence has a real shot at reviving them. The trade-offs are worth weighing. Callbox is a generalist B2B lead generation firm, not a vacation-rental specialist, so you'll need to brief them well on your market and offer. Its roundups don't publish pricing, and as a larger agency it may move slower than a boutique partner. It's a solid, established choice if you want appointment setting handled by an experienced team, but it doesn't offer the instant, always-on AI response that Worqd or Pete & Gabi build around.
Pros
- Established player with appointment-setting experience
- Multi-touch nurturing fits property owners' longer decision cycles
- Recognized in multiple industry roundups for reactivation work
Cons
- Generalist B2B firm, not specialized in vacation rentals or co-hosting
- No published pricing
- No always-on instant AI response capability mentioned in available research
- Larger agency processes may be slower than a boutique partner
Best for: Co-hosting businesses that want an experienced B2B appointment-setting team to run patient, multi-touch nurture campaigns against a list of cold owner inquiries.
Old leads are the cheapest pipeline you'll ever work. You already paid to acquire those owner inquiries, and with more than 80% of leads typically neglected after first outreach, most co-hosts are sitting on revenue they never collected. The right partner turns that list into booked calls without you babysitting an inbox. Our pick is Worqd, because it combines CRM-based reactivation with under-60-second AI response, works with the tools you already use, and only charges for the conversations that come back. Pete & Gabi is the stronger choice if your dormant leads are phone-first, and Callbox suits teams that want a seasoned appointment-setting agency running patient nurture campaigns. Whichever you choose, start with your own list before buying new demand. If you want to see what your dormant owner inquiries could produce, book a growth call with Worqd and get a clear plan for turning old leads into new co-hosting clients.
Frequently asked questions
Why should an Airbnb co-host reactivate old leads instead of chasing new ones?
Because the leads are already in your CRM and already familiar with your services. Research cited in industry roundups suggests over 80% of leads are neglected after initial outreach, and reactivation campaigns can lift conversion rates by 15% or more. Reactivating also costs significantly less than acquiring new leads, since you skip the acquisition spend entirely. For co-hosts, these dormant contacts are property owners who already showed interest in handing off management, which makes them warmer than any cold audience.
How does Worqd's reactivation work with my existing setup?
Worqd's Pipeline Recovery service works with your existing CRM, so there's no platform switch or migration. Its AI SDRs and voice agents re-engage the contacts already in your database, qualify every inquiry in under 60 seconds around the clock, and turn them into booked calls. You only pay for the conversations that come back, and pricing is scoped on a free growth call rather than a fixed rate card.
Is AI-driven lead reactivation actually effective?
The evidence in our research points that way. Worqd reports a 4-7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up and 70-80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team. Industry roundups note that AI-powered reactivation campaigns have shown response rate increases of over 40%, and companies using AI in lead generation have reported conversion improvements of up to 30%. Results depend on list quality and how well escalation rules are set up, so treat these as reported figures rather than promises.
How much do these reactivation services cost?
None of the three providers on this list publishes public pricing, so all three require a conversation for a quote. Worqd scopes pricing on a free growth call and charges based on conversations that come back. Pete & Gabi and Callbox both offer custom proposals. If budget certainty matters to you, ask each provider for example engagement costs during your first call.
Can I run reactivation myself with email sequences instead of hiring a provider?
You can, and a simple re-engagement email to your old owner inquiries is a reasonable first step. The limits show up fast, though: manual follow-up stalls when you're busy with guest messaging and turnovers, and dormant leads often need multiple touches across channels before they respond. Providers on this list solve that with always-on AI response, high-volume calling, or structured multi-touch nurture, which is hard to sustain alongside a co-hosting workload.
Which provider is best for a small co-hosting operation with just a few listings?
It depends on the size of your dormant list. If you have a meaningful backlog of past owner inquiries, Worqd's pay-for-conversations model and existing-CRM compatibility make it the easiest fit. If your list is small and phone-reachable, Pete & Gabi's AI calling agent can work it quickly. If you'd rather have a human appointment-setting team run patient nurture over months, Callbox fits. Start by exporting your old inquiries and counting them; that number will tell you which model makes sense.
How quickly can I expect results from a reactivation campaign?
Reactivation moves faster than new lead generation because the contacts already exist. Pete & Gabi says its agent starts generating revenue within days of deployment. Worqd notes that paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, though compounding channels like SEO take months. Set expectations around weeks, not months, and judge providers on booked calls with real owners rather than open rates.
