# Find accounts that are ready to buy

Timing beats volume in outbound, and signal tools exist to tell you which accounts are worth a touch right now. They differ by where the signal comes from. Some read your own community and product, some read social activity, some pool third-party intent across a co-op, and some de-anonymize the visitors already on your site. The best signal is the one closest to your buyer, so pick by source before feature list.

## Community and product signals

Community-and-product intelligence reads the activity you already own: your community, product usage and buyer behavior, which is the highest-fidelity signal because it is first-party. It fits teams with an active community or product-led motion. Judge it on how cleanly it turns activity into an account a rep can work.

## Social buying signals

Social-signal tools watch public activity like posts, role changes and engagement, and feed the trigger to sales or an agent. They widen reach past your own data at the cost of noise. Judge them on signal quality and how directly the signal routes into a play.

## Third-party intent data

Intent co-ops pool consumption signals across the web to flag accounts researching your category before they raise a hand. They add reach you cannot see yourself, and the data is probabilistic. Test the accuracy against deals you actually won before scaling spend.

## Website visitor intent

Website de-anonymization tools identify and score the companies already on your site, turning anonymous traffic into named accounts to act on. Identification is the precondition, and the step most confused with conversion. Judge it on match rate for your traffic, not the headline database.

**What are buyer intent signals?**

Buyer intent signals are behaviors that suggest an account is moving toward a purchase: research on your category, product usage, a relevant hire, or a visit to your pricing page. Intent tools collect these and surface the accounts worth a timely touch. First-party signals from your own data are the strongest.

**What is the difference between first-party and third-party intent?**

First-party intent comes from your own surfaces: your site, product and community, so it is precise but limited to people already engaging. Third-party intent is pooled across the web, so it adds reach but is probabilistic. Most teams start with first-party signals and layer third-party for reach.

**How do I act on intent signals without wasting reps' time?**

Route each signal straight into a defined play, and rank by signal strength so reps work the hottest accounts first. A signal nobody acts on is spend with no return. Test which signal sources actually precede your closed-won deals, and drop the ones that do not.
