1. Opportunity Detection: Moving Beyond General Data
   Old methods often relied on broad data like website visits or email opens to find potential leads, but these indicators are too vague for today’s market. With increasing noise and complexity, it’s crucial to focus on more precise signals that show when a prospect is ready to buy. So, what should you focus on? Leading CROs are now using advanced tools to identify specific buying signals rather than relying on general intent data. These detailed signals include:
   - Engagement Patterns: How prospects interact with your content, such as frequent visits to product pages or downloads of relevant materials.
   - Behavioral Indicators: Actions like repeated visits to pricing pages or requests for demos, showing deeper interest.
   - Interaction Quality: The depth of interactions, such as thoughtful questions during a demo or detailed feedback.
   - Competitive Research: When prospects compare your product with competitors, signaling they are in the decision phase.
   
   ‍Why is this important? By focusing on these clear signals, you can better target your sales efforts on prospects who are more likely to convert. This targeted approach improves efficiency and increases the likelihood of closing deals, allowing your sales team to focus on leads that are genuinely interested.
