# Job Change Alert & Trigger Campaign

Identify when prospects change jobs and trigger timely outreach during the 90-day "honeymoon period" when new leaders are most open to evaluating new solutions.

## Workflow

1. Monitor job change platforms (LinkedIn, job boards, news) for role changes at ICP companies.
2. Detect when existing contacts (in CRM) or ICP-matching profiles change roles.
3. Analyze new role responsibilities and company fit against your ICP.
4. Assess if new position/company is a good fit (company size, industry, tech stack, buying timeline).
5. Trigger congratulatory outreach within 48 hours with relevant value proposition tied to their new role.
6. Add to appropriate nurture sequence based on role and company tier.
7. Track conversion from job change → outreach → meeting → opportunity → closed-won.

## Edge Cases

- **Job change within same company**: Prospect promoted or transferred internally — different approach needed than external hire
  - Resolution: Assess if promotion increases buying authority; reference their career progression in company; leverage existing internal relationships; shorter sales cycle (already knows company culture); different messaging (growth/expansion vs. new evaluation)

- **False positives**: Job change detected but role is not relevant to your solution
  - Resolution: Implement role filtering (only target relevant titles); assess new role responsibilities against your solution's use cases; skip outreach if role is not decision-maker or influencer; flag for future monitoring if role could become relevant

- **Timing conflicts**: Prospect may be in "quiet period" or non-compete — outreach feels intrusive
  - Resolution: Respect non-compete periods (wait 30–60 days before outreach); monitor for "quiet period" signals (no public announcement, no LinkedIn update); use softer touch points initially (content sharing, no direct pitch); adjust timing based on industry norms

- **Existing customer job change**: Current customer's champion changes role — risk of churn or opportunity for expansion
  - Resolution: Immediate CSM outreach to welcome new leader; schedule introductory call within 48 hours; share customer success plan and results; assign new internal champion if old champion left; monitor usage and engagement closely during transition period

- **High-volume job changes (layoffs/restructuring)**: Company-wide layoffs or restructuring create many role changes simultaneously
  - Resolution: Pause outreach during active layoffs (sensitive period); wait 60–90 days after restructuring stabilizes; monitor for new hiring signals post-layoff; adjust messaging to acknowledge changes; focus on cost-saving and efficiency value propositions
