Find better-fit prospects. Start more relevant sales conversations.

Commercial Signal helps B2B service businesses identify suitable companies, research relevant business changes and build a repeatable process for reaching decision-makers.

Start with one focused pilot, clear deliverables and agreed measures.

Illustrative workflow: researching relevant business events

The challenge

Make business development more deliberate.

Referrals remain valuable. A repeatable prospecting process gives your team another way to identify potential customers and start relevant conversations.

Less time piecing together company research.

More context behind each approach.

A clearer view of outreach, replies and next steps.


A more useful shortlist

Research adds context before outreach begins.

A contact record tells you who someone is. A researched shortlist also shows why the company may be relevant and what your team should check next.

Contact list

  • Company and contact details.
  • Limited context for the approach.
  • Further qualification required.

Researched shortlist

  • Company fit checked.
  • Relevant event with source and date.
  • Decision-maker and suggested next action.

What you receive

From target-market research to a working outreach process.

Target-account research

Define the companies that fit your service and build a checked shortlist.

Signal research

Investigate relevant events, with source evidence and dates your team can review.

Contact and outreach setup

Identify relevant decision-makers and prepare an agreed campaign or handoff to your sales team.

Reporting and handover

Review responses, refine the process and document how the workflow operates.


What a signal means

A relevant event gives you a reason to investigate.

A vacancy linked to your service

A role can reveal an active priority, but relevance depends on the role, location and your offer.

An announced expansion

A new office or market may create a useful research prompt, subject to fit and timing.

A named project or tender

A specific initiative can add context, but requirements and supplier access still need checking.

A new decision-maker

A leadership change may justify research into priorities; it does not prove budget or intent.

We check the event against your customer criteria before treating it as an outreach opportunity.


Illustrative example, not a customer case study

For example: helping a specialist recruiter find relevant employers.

A focused workflow can identify employers advertising roles in the recruiter’s specialism, check location and role fit, research hiring contacts and organise a shortlist for review.

01

Define roles and geography

02

Find and check employer vacancies

03

Add contact information and relevant context

04

Deliver a reviewed shortlist

The review can record restrictions and uncertainties, including explicit no-agency wording. A vacancy is a reason to investigate, not evidence that an employer wants agency support.


How it works

Start with one workflow. Build from what you learn.

A fixed-scope pilot creates a practical starting point without publishing an assumed price or guaranteed timeline.

01

Understand

Agree who you want to reach, what you sell and how your team follows up.

02

Test

Review a small research sample together before scaling.

03

Build

Implement the agreed research, contact and outreach workflow.

04

Improve and hand over

Use feedback and responses to refine the process, with documentation and training.


Ownership and handover

A system your team can understand and control.

Agreed project deliverables.
Client-controlled accounts where applicable.
Documented workflows and handover.
Transparent software and data costs.
Optional ongoing support with defined responsibilities.

Your proposal sets out what you control, what is handed over and which software subscriptions remain necessary.


Who it’s for

For B2B service businesses ready to follow up.

An established service and clear customer value.
A recognisable target market.
Capacity to take on additional work.
Someone responsible for responding and selling.
Willingness to review research and campaign feedback.

Potential fits include specialist recruitment, agencies, consultancies and other B2B services.

Questions

Clear answers before you start.

What is a signal?

A dated business event that may make an approach relevant. It helps prioritise research; it does not prove budget or buying intent.

Do you guarantee meetings or sales?

No. We agree project deliverables and measures. Commercial results also depend on your offer, market, timing and sales follow-up.

Do you run the outreach?

The scope can include research, campaign setup, ongoing operation or handover. Responsibilities are agreed before the project starts.

What do we keep?

Your proposal identifies the accounts, data, workflows and documentation you control, alongside third-party dependencies.

What does it cost?

We quote for a defined pilot and explain implementation, software, data and optional support costs separately.

What happens in the growth review?

We discuss your target customers and current prospecting, then assess whether a focused pilot is worth exploring.
