What is a trigger event?

A trigger event is a real-world signal that a prospect is more likely to buy right now — funding round, leadership change, product launch, hiring spike, technology migration.

Why triggers beat ICP alone

ICP says "this account fits." Trigger says "this account is buying now." Combining the two is the highest-converting outbound move.

Common B2B triggers

Funding announcement, new C-suite hire, expansion to a new region, sudden hiring spike in a function ("hiring 5 SDRs in Q2"), tech-stack change, public RFP.

Where triggers come from

Crunchbase, ZoomInfo Intent, Bombora, LinkedIn news, Google Alerts, public job boards, SEC filings.
