    Trigger Events

    Real world signals that a prospect is more likely to buy right now.

    Definition

    Trigger events are recent, specific changes at an account that raise buying intent, such as new funding, a new executive hire, or a tech stack change.

    Why it matters

    Reaching a prospect during a trigger event can 3 to 5x reply and meeting rates versus cold outbound with no signal.

    How it works

    • Subscribe to signals in tools like Common Room, Clay, or LinkedIn
    • Route triggered accounts into a fast cadence
    • Reference the trigger in the opening line
