Signal-Based Selling

Turn buying signals into conversations

The best time to reach out is when something's changed. These prompts help you spot signals—funding, hiring, tech changes, leadership moves—and turn them into relevant, timely outreach.

Companies that just raised money have budget and growth pressure.
