Tips for Best Results
- 💡Use product behavior plus firmographic fit; usage alone can create noisy handoffs.
- 💡Give reps the user's actual workflow context so outreach feels helpful.
- 💡Set a clear SLA or high-intent users will age out before sales responds.
- 💡Track false positives and rep feedback to improve scoring after the pilot.
