Buying Signals Guide

Buying signals are the clues that an account may be in-market — hiring, funding, tech changes, engagement. Acting on them is what makes outreach well-timed, closely tied to intent data.

Why signals matter

Reaching an account at the right moment beats reaching it more often. Signals point you to the moment.

Types of signals

Hiring, funding, leadership changes, tech adoption, expansions, and content engagement all hint at timing.

Act on signals fast

Signals decay. The value is in reaching out while the window is open, with a message tied to the trigger.
