Frequently asked questions
Answers about eligibility, use, and service expectations.
What counts as a buying signal?
A buying signal is a public event or change that may point to a technology need, such as a project announcement, facility expansion, or public request for services. It is a prompt to investigate, not proof that a company is buying or intends to award work. Review the original evidence before contacting a prospect. Examples can include a public project notice, facility expansion, or a stated technology initiative. Record what the source actually says and when it was published. Verify the event before treating it as a reason for outreach.
How can research be limited to my service area?
Set the cities, counties, or other territory your team can serve, then check the location stated in the original source. Some announcements refer to a company headquarters while the project is elsewhere, so confirm the actual site and whether your firm can meet its coverage and timing needs. Check the project site rather than relying only on the prospect’s headquarters address. Compare the location with technician coverage, travel, and schedule capacity. Exclude or flag leads outside the firm’s approved service territory.
How recent should a lead signal be?
Use the date of the original announcement and check whether the project or requirement is still active. Older signals may have changed, closed, or been awarded. Keep a research date and source description with the lead, and verify important details before outreach. Capture both the announcement date and any project deadline mentioned. Recheck older records for cancellations, awards, or changed schedules. Prioritize current, verifiable activity for human review.
Can a signal tell me who makes the buying decision?
A public signal usually identifies a company or project, not the person who approves a purchase. Research the likely roles through current public company information, verify the contact’s responsibilities, and make outreach relevant to that role. Do not treat a guessed contact as confirmed. Use public company information to identify likely roles and responsibilities. Verify a person’s current title before addressing a message to them. Keep researched contacts separate from confirmed buying authority.
Does a high signal score mean a sale is likely?
No. A score is a prioritization aid based on available evidence and selected criteria; it cannot establish purchase intent or predict an award with certainty. Review the evidence, source date, company fit, and service-area match, then have a person decide whether the lead merits outreach. Review the evidence that contributed to the score. Consider recency, source reliability, service-area fit, and qualifications. A person should approve outreach; the score is not a purchase forecast.
