Signal map
Where pipeline actually comes from
Every buyer leaves a trail before they buy. The trail comes in three grades, graded by how close the buyer got to you when they left it. This has major repercussions on what you are able to measure, and how you use signals in your growth plan.
Signal strength
High
They came to you
Strongest intent. You own the data — the buyer touched your world and left a first-party trail.
The signal
- Repeat pricing-page visits
- Case-study binges
- Ad & retargeting clicks
- Webinar attendance
- Demo requests
- Replies to your outbound
- LinkedIn post engagement
How you generate it
- Webinars & live teardowns
- Outbound that invites replies
- Free audits & scorecards
- Founder-brand content
Signal strength
Medium
A partner saw it first
Borrowed trust. Someone your buyer already trusts captured the intent and shares it with you.
The signal
- G2 category research
- Co-hosted event registrants
- Partner community activity
- Newsletter sponsorship clicks
How you generate it
- Review-site programmes
- Co-marketing & joint webinars
- Newsletter & podcast sponsorships
- Guest content in communities
Signal strength
Low, alone
Observed from outside
Public exhaust. Weak on its own — powerful stacked with everything above.
The signal
- Hiring SDR / RevOps roles
- Funding rounds
- Leadership changes
- Tools installed or removed
- Champions changing jobs
- Competitor content engagement
How you generate it
- Signal monitoring & enrichment
- Champion tracking - moving job, promotions etc
- LLM citation monitoring
The Most Powerful (And Overlooked) Layer
None of it is legible without the lens — deep ICP understanding
Understand your ICP deeply enough and the market produces signals for you — you know what to watch before anyone acts. Most companies think they have this nailed. In reality their ICP is a list of firmographics, nowhere near the detail that makes signals legible. It's why positioning and ICP come first.
Tech changes
You know which stack shifts hurt them before they feel it.
Industry trends
You see the pressure building on their model early.
Upcoming legislation
You know what forces their hand — and when.
Buying triggers
You recognise the moment a nice-to-have becomes urgent.
