    Use when the user asks for buying signals, intent signals, trigger events, account prioritization by intent, or how to tell which accounts are ready to buy. Guides them through selecting observable signals, mapping tools and sources, validating uncertain choices against real companies, and building a tiered signal-stacking playbook. Not for general ICP definition, contact enrichment, or drafting outreach without intent research.

    Dormant Contacts (Procurement)Google Display (RLSA)1x / week

    Use when building ABM retargeting, including engaged-account segmentation, frequency management, and coordinated ads, email, BDR outreach, and direct mail. Not for generic B2C display retargeting.

    Pipeline per Spend>$10.00 / $1 spent$14.20 / $1 spent
    W-Shaped Attribution>60% mktg influence68% total credit

    Use this skill when measuring ABM success, including account-stage metrics instead of lead metrics, attribution models, ROI formulas, benchmarks, reporting cadence, and optimization decisions. Not for lead-generation funnel measurement that is not account based.

    Use when planning, structuring, launching, or optimizing LinkedIn account-based advertising at 1:1, 1:few, or 1:many scale, including company versus contact list choice, reach checks, segmentation, personalized creative, frequency control, engagement-based sales triggers, remarketing, exclusions, orchestration, and multi-account audience sharing.

    Audit contact job changes

    Daryl Vance (Dir Service Ops, Cedar Dynamics)Cedar Dynamics (VP Field Operations)Verified (Internal Move)
    Tomas Gutierrez (Head of Dispatch, Cedar Dynamics)Vanguard Field Tech (VP Operations)Confirmed (Competitor)

    Use this skill when you need to find which target-account contacts in the CRM have changed jobs and act on it: a quarterly database refresh, a "did anyone move?" sweep, a churn-risk or new-champion check, or a job-change signal firing on a known contact. It reads each contact's current role from their work history, compares it to what the CRM believes, and routes the movers. It does not cover general contact enrichment without a job-change comparison.

    Technical EvaluatorElena Rostova (Director of IT)Consolidate 3 legacy PMS databases into one cloud framework
    End UserMarcus Vance (Practice Operations Lead)Reduce front-desk patient intake friction and scheduling delays

    Use when mapping the buying committee inside ABM target accounts, especially from closed-won deal evidence, and translating personas into jobs-to-be-done, pain points, messaging, LinkedIn targeting, BDR outreach priorities, campaign naming, asset planning, and measurement.

    Find, enrich, research, validate, and score companies for corporate-event and buying intent when the user asks to rank or prioritize accounts by offsite, retreat, kickoff, anniversary, funding, growth, or geographic-expansion signals. Uses Expertise enrichment and public research only. No n8n, Apify, LinkedIn connection, or API keys.

    Stage Decay CheckVerifiedRecent activity within 7 days across 2 functions; no decay detected

    Use when an account-based team needs one auditable view of where an account sits in its buying journey and why. It stages accounts from evidence, prevents one-contact false positives, and surfaces the next action. Not for lead scoring or attribution based on touch volume alone.

    Audit buyer intent signals
    Evaluation DimensionVerdict / GradeObserved Evidence & Reasoning
    Observed FactVerifiedDovetail posted 4 job openings for Lead Clinical Coordinators across 2 new regional practice sites.
    Signal StrengthHighPhysical clinic expansion creates direct multi-site intake scheduling and EHR integration complexity.
    Confidence LevelMediumExpansion is explicit; exact workflow friction remains inferred until confirmed in initial discovery.
    Why-Now TriggerConcreteTarget launch date of October 1st for new locations requires intake workflows operational prior to opening.
    What NOT to AssumeCautionDo not assume a full EHR replacement; focus on intake overlay and multi-clinic scheduling coordination.

    Use when a raw company event or intent spike needs to be interpreted before anyone routes it, scores it, or writes outreach. It separates what the signal proves from what it only suggests. Not for automatically sending outreach or treating third-party intent as buying intent.

    Use when the user wants to know which accounts deserve action across the whole watchlist or open pipeline: "which of my accounts deserve action today", "turn recent account activity into next plays", "run my signal radar". Scores account-level signals from every connected source, ranks urgency, and picks one play per account; the bundle's cross-account queue and its only scheduled skill. For everything happening with one named account across all sources ("anything happening with Acme?"), run this radar scoped to that account. For one thread use Buying Signal Watcher; for website visitors, Website Intent Account Detector; for one returning deal, Open-Deal Reengagement Watcher.

    Use when the user wants recent communication read for real buying movement: "check this thread for buying signals", "any commercial movement from this account lately", "did anything meaningful change in this deal's emails". Watches named threads, contacts, or accounts across the inbox (LinkedIn optional), grades each signal strong/medium/weak, and returns the next move plus a CRM note suggestion. For the cross-account queue use Account Signal Radar; for one meeting's objections, Objection & Risk Extractor.

    Use to set up or reconfigure Signal Radar: "set up signal radar", the first run after purchase, changing signal classes, watchlist, suppression, ceilings, or delivery later, when any Signal Radar skill reports missing configuration, or when the radar seems quiet or empty ("why is my radar empty"); the coverage map is the diagnosis. Builds an honest coverage map of the connected signal sources, captures the signal profile, schedules the daily radar, and runs the first radar cycle end to end.

What is account-based prospecting?

Account-based prospecting starts from a defined list of target accounts and waits for the right moment to engage. The hard part is judging fit, finding the right people and noticing that moment across hundreds of accounts. These agents take on that work: they sort accounts by fit, map the decision-makers and buying committee, and turn raw signals into a clear read on which accounts deserve action now.

Signals come from several places. Some agents watch your website for companies showing real buying behavior, read email threads for buying movement or track target-account contacts who change jobs. Others score accounts for intent and events, stage where each account sits in its buying journey and check a raw signal before anyone acts on it. For marketing, there are frameworks for LinkedIn ABM, ABM retargeting and measuring ABM by account stage instead of leads.

Problems account-based prospecting agents solve

  • Target account lists that mix perfect-fit accounts with ones that will never buy.
  • Reps who do not know who the decision-makers are at their accounts.
  • Signals that trigger outreach before anyone checks whether they mean anything.
  • Champions who change jobs without anyone noticing.
  • ABM programs measured by lead counts instead of account progress.

Who uses account-based prospecting agents

  • Account executives: Know which accounts are moving and who to engage there.
  • SDRs: Prioritize accounts by fit and intent instead of list order.
  • ABM marketers: Plan LinkedIn ABM and retargeting, and measure progress by account stage.
  • RevOps: Score accounts consistently and keep signal rules auditable.

Frequently asked questions

Events that suggest an account is in motion: website visits, buying movement in email threads, job changes among your contacts, company events and intent spikes. Agents here track them across your accounts and rank what is worth acting on.

Lead-based prospecting reacts to individual people. Account-based prospecting works a defined account list proactively. These agents handle the research and monitoring load that usually makes it hard to sustain.

Not to start. These agents work from first-party signals such as your website visits, email threads and CRM activity, which show which accounts are engaging with you specifically. Third-party intent data can add context on top.

Fit tiers, buying committee maps, signal digests, account stage views and ABM plans: concrete artifacts your team can take into outreach, not just scores.
