Abandoned cart recovery via SMS and email is saturated, but the single highest-converting intervention is a real human phone call. No major Shopify app offers this. The agency recruits stay-at-home workers (ideally matching the target customer demographic) to make personalized outbound calls to abandoned cart customers, offering discounts, answering product questions, and collecting store feedback. The performance model (0 upfront, 20% of recovered revenue) eliminates sales objections entirely.
To find clients, use Builtwith.com (or hire a freelancer with a Builtwith account on Upwork for $20) to export all Shopify Plus stores, then cold email/call/text them. The pitch is niched — start with high-margin verticals like makeup, apparel, or supplements where AOV is $100+ and gross margins support a 20% commission. The feedback collected on every call is a bonus deliverable that helps clients improve their store, adding extra value beyond the conversion lift.

03 THE VERDICT
The founder has personally validated this model. The performance-only pricing removes the single biggest sales objection. Builtwith gives you a list of 3 million prospects for $20. The only real challenge is building a reliable, quality call center workforce — start small with 3–5 contractors. The upside if it scales is enormous given the size of the Shopify ecosystem.
