Buyer signals

Buyer signals from what companies actually do.

A loan funds a new building. A permit is closed out. Machines arrive through customs. Clean reads records like these together and tells you which companies have a reason to buy.

01

What a buyer signal is

A buyer signal is a record of a company doing something that creates a need for what you sell: a loan that funds a new building, a permit closed out, machines arriving through customs, a large contract won. One signal is a clue. Several that point the same way are a reason to buy.

The signals Clean watches

Clean looks for the moments that change what a company needs. Each one leaves a record.

  • Money moving: a loan funds a new building or new equipment.
  • Building: a permit is filed or closed out, or a new facility or location opens.
  • Equipment and supply: machines arrive through customs, or a company switches suppliers.
  • Contracts: a company wins a large contract that brings new work and new requirements.
  • Operations: the fleet grows, or a new registration takes the company into new work or a new state.
03

Where the records come from

Every signal traces back to a record, and Clean keeps the source behind each one so it can be checked.

  • Government filings: loans, permits, contract awards, and registrations.
  • Trade and shipping records.
  • Fleet and safety records.
  • Company sites and the trade press.
  • Clean's own datasets and licensed company data, which fill the gaps.
04

How signals add up to a reason

Clean matches each record to the right company, sequences that company's signals, and reasons through them until they add up to one clear reason to buy. A loan, then a finished building, then new machines arriving tell one story. A single record on its own usually doesn't make the list.

05

Signals by industry

The signals that matter depend on what you sell.

  • Manufacturing: a building loan, a finished building, and presses or lasers arriving at the plant.
  • Insurance: a new building, more trucks on the road, or a contract that needs a bond.
  • Law firms: a large contract won, a new building or long lease, first imports, or a new registration.
06

What Clean leaves out

Clean does not use intent data. No ad clicks, page views, content downloads, or bidstream. Each signal is a record of something a company did, not a guess about what someone read.

Common questions

Are buyer signals the same as intent data?

No. Intent data guesses who is in market from ad clicks, page views, content downloads, and bidstream. Clean uses none of that. Its signals are records of what companies actually do, like a loan that funds a new building or a large contract won, and each one traces back to its source.

Why isn't one signal enough?

A single record can mean many things. A permit might be routine upkeep. A loan for a new building, a permit closed out on that building, and machines arriving through customs all point the same way. Clean looks for records that agree before it calls something a reason to buy.

What do I get for each company?

The company, why it's worth reaching, the records behind that reason with a note on why each one counts, and the right people to talk to: their roles, verified email and phone from licensed providers, and warm paths through your team's network. Prospects sync to HubSpot or Attio.
