If B2B marketing was a gym, most companies are still lifting with bad form. They push out endless cold calls and generic campaigns, hoping to bulk up pipeline. But the real gains? They come from spotting signals, the hidden reps your buyers are already doing before they ever talk to sales.
That is where Signal Based Marketing comes in. Think of it as your growth steroids (pun fully intended).

So, what are “signals”?
Signals are the little actions that shout buyer intent if you know how to listen:
The VP who keeps visiting your pricing page.
That company downloading three whitepapers in a week.
The LinkedIn engagement spike from a single buying unit.
Individually they are interesting. Together they are basically flexing in front of the mirror saying: “We’re ready to buy.”
Why Signal Based Marketing beats old-school lead gen
Traditional lead gen is like forcing your way onto the bench press when nobody asked you to spot them. Awkward, ineffective, forgettable.
Signal Based Marketing flips it. You see who is already warming up, who is about to max out, and you step in at the right moment.
Less noise. No more wasting time on “just browsing” accounts.
More precision. Focus on the ones showing real intent.
Better alignment. Marketing and sales finally share the same playbook.
The unfair advantage with Stairoids
Here is where we juice it up: Stairoids takes signals from your website, LinkedIn, CRM, email campaigns and more and stacks them into one clear view.
Spot the full buying unit, not just random contacts.
Score accounts with our Intentional Wire so you know who is closest to pipeline.

It is like swapping your home dumbbells for a pro-level setup. Same energy, ten times the results.
The bottom line
Signal Based Marketing is not a buzzword. It is the performance enhancer B2B demand gen has been waiting for. Companies still clinging to spray-and-pray will be left flexing alone.
With signals, you do not just work harder. You work smarter, faster, stronger. You're on Stairoids!
