If targeting is about finding the right buyers, then triggers and signals are about finding them at the right time. A trigger is an event, a signal is a clue. Together they tell you who's most likely to care about your messages right now. For some businesses, the trigger might be funding.
A company that just raised capital is far more likely to be buying new tools. For others, it's a hiring signal, maybe a new VP of sales or a spike in SDR job postings. In other cases, technology installs like seeing Salesforce, HubSpot or even a competitor pop up on their site. The key insight is that every business has its own unique triggers.
What works for a SaaS tool might not apply to an e commerce agency. The art is identifying which signals actually matter for you, then building them into your targeting system. Now here's where AI becomes a game changer. Traditionally, you have to find these signals manually.
Reading LinkedIn updates, scanning news articles, clicking through websites one by one, it's slow and you'll miss things. AI flips that on its head. It can scan entire websites, parse job postings, or even recognize elements of a web page that humans usually skim over. For example, spotting a book a demo button is a dead giveaway that the company runs a Sales Lab motion or finding a career space that lists ten new outbound sales roles that's a used buying signal for prospecting software.
These aren't things you'd see just by pulling a list of companies from a database. Their digital fingerprints, clues hidden in plain sight that AI can detect at scale. And here's the critical part. Triggers and signals aren't a one off campaign.
They're a living system. You don't set them once and forget them. Markets shift, buyer behavior changes. What was a strong signal six months ago might be irrelevant today.
The companies who win are the ones who treat signals as an ongoing practice, always refining, always monitoring, always layering in new clues. That's what makes triggers and signals so powerful. They don't just tell you who fits your ICP, they tell you who's paying attention, who's moving and who's ready for a conversation right now.
Because when your timing is right, your cold outreach doesn't feel cold at all. It feels like you showed up at exactly the moment they were already thinking about the problem you solve.
