Signal-based selling is triggering outreach from an observed event rather than from a static list: a funding round, a job change, a technology adoption, a spike in product usage. The signal supplies both the timing and the reason for the conversation.
It works because relevance is mostly timing. The same message that is ignored on a Tuesday lands the week a company hires the person who owns the problem.
The failure mode is treating a signal as a script. Naming the trigger in the first line is what makes signal-based outreach read as surveillance rather than as relevance.
