buying signal
An event suggesting that a company may currently need a certain type of product, derived from intent data and sales trigger event practices. Common categories include funding, hiring expansion, executive changes, office relocation, and product launches, and such signals decay strongly over time.

ICP matching is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient one: a company may fully fit the profile yet have no current purchasing motive, so ICP fields need to be used together with buying signals.
Buying signals are events that suggest a company may currently need a certain type of product, such as funding rounds, executive appointments, newly created positions, or job postings.
The value of buying signals decays strongly over time: a funding event is most meaningful within weeks after it occurs, and after a few months it has usually been absorbed into budget arrangements.
In B2B sales, a buying signal specifically refers to behavior in which a buyer proactively shows a need or intent, such as proactively asking for a quote, requesting a demo, or specifying a budget and timeline; market noise, by contrast, is industry news unrelated to a specific buyer's needs.
