Job Change Signal Waterfalls

The problem
- ICPs move jobs constantly.
- A “yes” at Company A becomes a champion at Company B.
- Reps miss these moves because they don’t monitor at scale.
Step 1: Capture Job-Change Signals
- Pull LinkedIn updates into Clay.
- Sources: Sales Navigator exports, job-change enrichment APIs, LinkedIn scraping.
- Store: Name, old title, old company, new title, new company, start date.
Step 2: Enrich New Company
- Run Clay enrichment waterfall:
- Firmographics (industry, size, revenue).
- Tech stack (what tools they use).
- Funding data (new capital = new spend).
Step 3: Contextualize with AI
- Prompt Claygent: “This contact just moved from [old company] to [new company]. Write a 2-bullet summary of why this matters to a sales rep selling [product].”
- Output: context column SDR can read at a glance.
Step 4: Generate Personalized Outreach
- AI writes:
- Line 1: Congrats on the move.
- Line 2: Tie old company experience to new role.
- CTA: Quick intro or demo.
- Example: “At [old company], you scaled X. Now at [new company], same challenge likely applies.”
Step 5: Build Waterfall Play
- Priority tiers:
- Tier 1: Champion moved into ICP role at ICP company → immediate outreach.
- Tier 2: Neutral contact moved into ICP company → nurture touch.
- Tier 3: Non-ICP move → log but ignore.
- Push Tier 1 + 2 directly into Outreach/Salesloft.
Why this matters
- Job changers are 3–4x more likely to buy in first 90 days.
- New role = new budget authority.
- Keeps your pipeline fed with warm, time-sensitive leads.
Pro tips
- Filter by start date (<90 days).
- Highlight promotions (not just lateral moves).
- Trigger alerts in Slack/Teams for SDR follow-up same day.
Outcome
- Always-on job-change radar.
- Instant plays that SDRs can act on daily.
- Clay turns LinkedIn job updates into live pipeline.
