A profile describes who might fit
Industry, size and geography help define a target market. They are useful filters, but they do not tell you why a company may need help now.
A signal adds a timing hypothesis
A specific company event gives you something to investigate. Research connects the event to a potential need and identifies the relevant person.
Volume does not replace qualification
Sending more messages cannot establish whether a business event is relevant. A signal-led approach invests more effort in the reason for each introduction.
Measure what matters to your process
Review the quality of the evidence, the relevance of the role and what conversations reveal. Do not treat a large list or a detected event count as proof of commercial outcomes.
