Deep dives

Building an Effective Signal Stack

Creating a prioritized system for account outreach is crucial for maximizing sales efforts. High-intent signals, particularly those that are time-sensitive, should be at the forefront. For instance, monitoring web visits to specific intent-driven pages such as pricing or demo requests allows for timely engagement with potential leads. Additionally, tracking social media interactions and other signals, like job changes or funding rounds, can enhance targeting strategies, although these require a more creative approach to capture context effectively.
