Track Champions
When your champion moves, your next deal moves with them.
Champion-sourced pipeline converts to closed-won at 3x the rate of cold outbound — when reached within 30 days of job change.
THE brief
Monitor every past champion — customers who bought, advocates who sponsored deals, contacts who went to bat internally — for job changes. When one of them lands at a new company, alert the team with their new role, the new company's ICP fit score, and a ready-to-send re-engagement message. Don't wait for the champion to reach out. Get there first.
Monitors champions across customers and closed deals
The agent tracks every contact tagged as a champion across the full CRM — past customers, internal sponsors on closed-won deals, advocates on closed-lost deals, and contacts who gave strong referrals. Monitoring runs continuously across LinkedIn, email signature changes, company website updates, and data provider signals. When a champion updates their LinkedIn profile, changes their email domain, or appears in a new company's team page, the change is detected typically within 48 hours — before most reps would notice it in their weekly scroll.
Tracking 847 champions across 312 accounts. This month: 14 job changes detected. 6 landed at companies in the ICP. 3 landed at existing target accounts already in Tier 1.
Scores the opportunity at the new company
Not every champion job change is a sales opportunity. A champion who moves from a 500-person SaaS company to a 15-person startup is a different opportunity than one who moves to a 2,000-person enterprise. The agent scores the new company against the ICP immediately after a job change is detected — firmographic fit, technographic profile, current tools, open roles, and any existing intent signals. If the new company is Tier 1, the alert goes out with a meeting request recommended. If it's out of market, the champion goes on a watch list for future monitoring.

Generates re-engagement messages that lead with the relationship
Outreach to a former champion is different from cold outreach. They know the product. They've seen it work. The re-engagement message should acknowledge the history, congratulate them on the new role, and open the door — not pitch from scratch. The agent generates a first message that references the prior relationship specifically: when they were a customer, what they used the product for, and a natural bridge to exploring whether it fits at their new company. The message is short and warm — a conversation opener, not a sales email.
Message to Sarah Chen — references Q3 2024 deployment at Orion SaaS, notes she was instrumental in the rollout. Asks if pipeline visibility is on her list at Basecamp Financial. 3-line email, no attachments, no deck.
