SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identifies the buying signal TYPES that matter for the user's market, then uses them to find companies showing those signals right now. Triggers: /signal-scout, "find signals", "what signals matter". Reads: ./gtm/icp.md, ./gtm/company.md. Writes: ./gtm/signals.md. Standalone: yes — asks what they sell if no context exists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load ICP and company context (./gtm/icp.md, ./gtm/company.md) to determine high-value buying signals.
  • Identify signal types (Proven, Behavioral, Negative, Organizational, Competitive) and compile them into a signals plan.
  • Approve and route: after user review, generate a signals.md targeting outbound campaigns.

Quick Start

Ask the system to load ICP and company context and generate the initial buying signals for outreach.

FAQPage Schema
What are buying signals in B2B sales and how do they improve outbound prospecting?

Buying signals in B2B sales are specific indicators that a prospect needs your product, such as proven, behavioral, negative, organizational, and competitive patterns. Analyzing won-deal patterns helps identify these signals to target outbound prospecting campaigns effectively.

How do I identify the right buying signals for my ideal customer profile?

To identify buying signals for your ideal customer profile, load ICP and company context files, then analyze won-deal patterns alongside behavioral, negative, organizational, and competitive signals. The system compiles confirmed signals into a structured outbound targeting plan.

Can I find buying signals for lead generation if I haven't defined an ICP yet?

Yes, lead generation signal scouting works in standalone mode without a predefined ICP. The system asks what you sell, analyzes that context against buying signal types, and generates a signals plan to guide your outbound prospecting workflow.

What's the best way to turn buying signals into an outbound campaign plan?

The best way to turn buying signals into an outbound campaign is to analyze them against your ICP, pass them through an approval gate for confirmation, and route the validated signals to generate a structured markdown file for prospect targeting.

What types of buying signals should I look for when scouting B2B prospects?

When scouting B2B prospects, look for five signal types: proven patterns from won deals, behavioral signals, negative signals indicating pain points, organizational signals, and competitive signals. Compiling these creates a comprehensive outbound targeting strategy.

How do negative buying signals help with outbound sales prospecting?

Negative buying signals help outbound sales prospecting by revealing pain points or gaps in a prospect's current setup. Analyzing these alongside proven, behavioral, organizational, and competitive signals refines your ICP targeting for more relevant outreach.
