From coldiq
Detect and prioritize buying-intent signals (funding, hiring, tech changes, job changes, news) and map each to a concrete ColdIQ marketplace endpoint. Use when deciding which intent signals to track for a client, sourcing funding/hiring/acquisition/job-change signals, scoring accounts by signal strength, deciding outreach timing from signal freshness, or stacking signals. Triggers on "intent signals", "buying signals", "trigger events", "funding signal", "hiring signal", "job change", "tech stack change", "signal detection", "when to reach out", "signal stacking". Do NOT use for writing the copy that references the signal (see crawford-method / cold-email-copy), list scoring math (see tam-scoring), or generic search (see coldiq-search-enrich).

30 sales triggers across 6 categories, tiered by reliability, each mapped to the ColdIQ endpoint
30 sales triggers across 6 categories, tiered by reliability, each mapped to the ColdIQ endpoint that surfaces it. Blend ≥2 independent signals before high-effort plays.
Where a signal is detectable, this skill routes it to a ColdIQ marketplace endpoint; the rest stay as research guidance.

Every signal you reference must be: recent, connected to your offer, something they'd care that you noticed, tied to a specific pain. Go deeper than the obvious — "hiring SDRs but no rev-ops lead yet" beats "you're hiring SDRs". Hand off to crawford-method for the actual opener.
