Soham Maniar, Head of Revenue Operations at Weaviate, joins the podcast to unpack the power of signal-based outbound. From tracking product usage to de-anonymizing GitHub activity, Soham shares how he built a smarter, more precise outbound motion—one that prioritizes timing, intent, and efficiency over brute force volume. This episode is packed with practical insights for RevOps leaders looking to modernize their go-to-market strategy.


We cover:

  • What signal-based outbound really means (and why it matters now)

  • How to identify the signals that indicate buying intent

  • The importance of signal “stacking” and account-level density

  • Tools and tactics for orchestrating cross-channel outbound

  • Common mistakes and how to avoid signal noise and vendor bloat

  • How to operationalize scoring, prioritization, and automation
