The problem this solves
Intent signal has a short shelf life. A company researching your category today is comparing options this week, and by the time the signal makes it from a dashboard into a spreadsheet into someone's Monday review, the window has narrowed. Most teams do not lose these deals to competitors with better products. They lose them to their own routing: the signal existed, but it sat in a tool nobody was looking at while the account made its shortlist.
Even when the signal reaches the team, the handoff is lossy. A raw account name in a dashboard row carries no argument for acting on it. Someone has to look up who the company is, decide whether it is worth attention, and assign the follow-up. Each of those small frictions is a place where triage stalls, and stalled triage is functionally the same as no signal at all.
The shape of the fix is a feed that arrives where salespeople already talk, pre-reduced to a decision: here are ten accounts showing intent, one line each on why they fit, reply with the ones you want worked. When picking an account and getting drafted outreach are the same sentence, the gap between signal and touch drops from days to minutes.
How the mission runs
- The intent sweep finds who is in market. The agent queries Intent Data for companies actively researching your category and filters against your fit criteria - size, vertical, whatever you defined in the prompt. Volume is the enemy of triage, so the output is capped at the ten strongest accounts rather than everything with a pulse.
- Top ten post to #sales with context. Each account arrives in the Slack thread with one earned line: what they do, the signal strength, and the reason they fit. The line exists so a rep can make a keep-or-skip call in seconds without opening another tool. The thread is the triage surface; there is no separate queue to check.
- A reply in the thread selects the work. Someone answers "take 3 and 7" and that plain sentence is the assignment. The agent resolves the numbers against the list it posted - thread memory makes the reference unambiguous - and confirms which accounts it is picking up, so a typo never silently works the wrong company.
- Selected accounts get the full workup. For each chosen account, the agent enriches deeply: the company picture, the right people to contact, and verified addresses via Email Finder. The unchosen seven stay as one-liners, which is the point. Research effort concentrates on accounts a human already said yes to.
- Drafted outreach returns for review. The agent posts drafts back into the same thread: who to send to, the angle grounded in the intent signal, and the message itself. Drafts are staged for a rep's edit and send decision. Nothing reaches a prospect inbox from this playbook without a person choosing to send it.
The prompt
This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.
What comes back
A living thread in #sales where in-market accounts arrive scored and explained, and the team's replies do the routing. For every selected account: full enrichment, the right contacts with verified emails, and outreach drafts grounded in the specific intent signal, all delivered back into the conversation where the selection happened. The thread doubles as a record of what was surfaced, chosen, and worked.
Make it yours
- Tighten the cadence during a campaign: run the sweep twice a day for a fortnight, and have the agent mark accounts reappearing across sweeps as escalating intent worth a same-day touch.
- Route by territory: post one thread per region or segment owner, so "take 2 and 5" always comes from the rep who will actually send the outreach.
- Ask for a weekly retro reply in the same thread: which surfaced accounts were picked, which were skipped, and how the fit criteria should tighten as a result.
Frequently asked questions
How does the agent know what "take 3 and 7" refers to?
The numbered list and the reply live in the same thread, and thread memory ties them together. The agent resolves the numbers against the exact list it posted, then names the two companies back before starting work, so the selection is confirmed in plain sight and misreads get caught immediately.
Does drafted outreach get sent automatically?
No. Drafts are staged in the thread for human review by default. A rep edits or approves, and sending happens through your own motion. If you later want the agent to send on an explicit "ship it", that becomes a deliberate approval gate you configure rather than a default behavior.
What does a day of this cost against the meter?
The sweep and ten one-liners are cheap; the expensive work is the deep enrichment, and it only runs on accounts a human selected. That is the economic shape of the playbook: broad awareness at low cost, spend concentrated where a rep committed. Everything meters to the same workspace balance you see in the console.
