What are buying intent signals?

Intent signals are public traces a prospect leaves when they move into buying mode: engaging with relevant content, attending events, hiring for certain roles, raising funding, switching tools, or complaining about a competitor. Each one tells you a lead is worth a contextual message rather than a cold one.

Are intent signals better than cold outreach?

They are warmer. Cold outreach contacts people at random. Signal-based outreach contacts people who are already showing interest, so replies are higher and messages feel relevant instead of templated.

How fast should I act on an intent signal?

Speed matters more than volume. Reach out within roughly 48 hours while the trigger is still fresh and the prospect still remembers the context that created the signal.

Can I track all 13 signals manually?

You can monitor two or three by hand with saved searches, alerts and community tabs. Watching all 13 across socials and the web in real time is where teams usually automate, which is exactly what Gojiberry does.

Do I still need an ICP filter when using signals?

Yes. A signal only matters if the person fits your ideal customer profile. Always qualify industry, team size and tech stack before you reach out, otherwise you are just doing fast outreach to the wrong people.
