What Are Buyer Intent Signals?
Observable actions that reveal a company is actively researching, evaluating, or planning to purchase.
Static Data vs. Intent Signals
Traditional databases tell you who could buy. Intent signals tell you who will buy — and when. They're the difference between a cold list and a sales-ready opportunity.
- Dynamic — signals change in real-time
- Actionable — tied to specific events and behaviors
- Predictive — 3-5x higher conversion than static data
- Qualified — BANT-scored before delivery

What Our Clients Say About Intent Signals
Demand Tab's intent signals are the most accurate we've used. We went from 2% to 6% conversion in 90 days. The BANT qualification is spot on.
The signal strength scoring changed everything. We now prioritize Tier 1 signals and our close rate jumped 34%. Game changer.
We were skeptical about intent data. After 60 days, we had 3x more qualified opportunities than our previous vendor. The difference is real.
