1. What are buying signals?
Buying signals are any piece of information of a change that can be linked to a certain company. (e.g. mergers, recruitments, and internationalization...)
Key benefits of buying signals:
- Buying signals provide you with a continuous flow of leads, e.g., when a company internationalizes, you can sell them various different services.
- Good background information of your customers or prospects helps you create trust. If your customer wins an award, congratulating them sure opens the conversation better!

3. Focus on the most relevant buying signals

You can also find heavy recruiters with Open positions in x months -filter.
Keywords in signals: 🔑By narrowing down your search with Keywords in signals, you can easily make your signals relevant to you. For example, if you are interested in internationalization but only when "China" or "Asia" is mentioned, try out something like this:
Timeframe: 📅 If you only need information about newly released events, use the Timeframe filter to set starting date so that you don't get any older buying signals on your list.
Open positions in x months: 💼 When your ideal customers are heavy recruiters, your new favorite tool can find companies that have released x amount of open positions-ads, within a certain time frame. Select the number of open positions you are looking for and select amount of months:
