The few who are ready this week are buried in a static list, and by the time a demo form comes in, the decision is half made. 01 ### Static lists hide the timing A contact database tells you who exists, not who just changed jobs or whose company just raised. The timing, which is most of the battle, is invisible. 02 ### Cold sequences read as cold Without a fresh reason to reach out, even a polished sequence lands as an interruption. Reply rates stay low and your domains take the hit. 03 ### A new buyer rebuilds the stack When a new VP of Sales or Head of Revenue starts, they reassess tools fast. Miss that first-90-days window and you are selling against an incumbent. 04 ### Paid acquisition keeps getting pricier Ads for SaaS keywords are expensive and getting more so. Reaching ready buyers directly is a cheaper path to the same pipeline. 05 ### Your SDR's time goes to list-building Hours spent researching and assembling lists is the least leveraged work there is. It should be spent on the conversations. The solution ## Catch SaaS buyers on the signals that mean now CatchIntent watches for the events that move a company into a buying window and surfaces the right person behind each one. ### Job-change detection A new leader in a role you sell to is your strongest signal. CatchIntent surfaces them in the window where they are rebuilding their stack. ### Funding signals A fresh round becomes hires and tools within a quarter. Reach the team while the budget and the mandate to grow are new. ### Hiring-spike signals A burst of open roles on one team shows where a company is investing and what gap it feels right now. ### Competitor and category signals Find people engaging with a competitor or discussing the problem you solve, in their own words, while it is top of mind. ### Scored leads with drafted openers Every lead arrives with a warmth score, a one-line reason, and a first line tied to the signal, ready to send or push to your CRM. How it works ## From setup to *warm leads* Five minutes of config, leads start flowing the same day. Step 01 ### Describe your buyer Tell CatchIntent your ICP, your competitors, and the signals that matter most for your offer. Step 02 ### Agents do the discovery Agents watch LinkedIn for job changes, funding, hiring spikes, competitor engagement, and category keyword discussions. Step 03 ### Warm leads land scored Each lead arrives with a warmth score, a one-line reason, and an opener grounded in the signal that surfaced it. Step 04 ### Send and track Copy the opener and send from your own account, or push the lead to your CRM in one click, and track replies in one place. Why teams pick CatchIntent ## Outcomes, *not features* ### Reach buyers in the window Get to a SaaS buyer while the trigger is fresh, before they have shortlisted or talked to a competitor. ### Higher reply rates A message anchored to a real event reads as good timing, not an interruption, so more of your outreach lands. ### Lower acquisition cost Reaching ready buyers directly is a cheaper path to pipeline than bidding up paid keywords. ### Your SDR stays on conversations The discovery and list-building runs on its own, so your team spends its time on replies and demos. ### Cleaner targeting Fit and reach are built into the ICP, so the leads that land are ones you can actually win and actually contact. ### Fits your stack Push scored leads and drafted openers into the CRM and sender you already use.

CatchIntent tells you who just became ready, by watching for signals like a job change or a funding round, and hands you the person already scored with a drafted opener. Timing is the part a static list cannot give you. It fits best for teams with someone doing dedicated outbound, whether that is an SDR, a sales-minded founder, or a small sales team. If nobody is acting on leads, a discovery tool will not help yet. Job changes and funding tend to be the strongest, because both create budget and urgency. Hiring spikes, competitor engagement, and category discussions are useful softer signals. You pick the ones that fit your offer. No. It finds and prepares the right leads and drafts the opener, then you send from your own account or push to your sender of choice. It is the targeting and timing layer, not a bulk email tool. Agents run on a schedule and deliver fresh leads daily once set up, each scored and ready to act on. From use case to deployed ## Spin up your first agent in *five minutes* No card-on-file gotchas. No "talk to sales" gate. Your first warm leads land tomorrow. [Start free trial →](https://app.catchintent.com/register) [See pricing](https://catchintent.com/pricing/) 7-day trial · Cancel anytime
