# Sales signals your agent reads: who is hiring, who raised, what they run, what they announced

RouterGrowth gives an agent the trigger events outbound runs on, through one MCP server: live job postings, funding rounds, the technology on a company's site, press coverage and what people post in public. The agent checks the signal before it spends on a contact.

## Worth knowing

- **Qualify before you enrich.** A signal check costs less than a contact lookup. Running it first means the email finder only sees accounts worth writing to.
- **Fresh on every run.** Jobs and news are read live. A weekly run only has to keep what is new.
- **The signal is the first line.** The role, the round or the announcement is what the message opens with, so the agent keeps it next to the contact.

## Questions

### What are sales signals?

Public changes at a company that make a purchase more likely soon: an open role, a funding round, a new tool in the stack, an announcement. They tell you who to contact now and what to say.

### How do I track trigger events automatically?

Give the agent the account list and the events you care about. It runs company.jobs, company.funding and news.search on a schedule and reports the accounts where something changed.

### What is technographic data?

The technology a company runs. company.technologies detects it from the company's site, which lets you keep the accounts on a given platform before any contact is looked up.

### Is this intent data?

It is first-hand, public intent: what the company itself posted or announced. It is not anonymous browsing data bought from a network.
