Timing Your Sales Outreach for Maximum Impact

Craig Elias, in his book Shift!, breaks down the sales cycle into three phases:

  1. Status Quo – The prospect is satisfied with their current process, even if you see room for improvement.

  2. Window of Dissatisfaction – The prospect is unhappy with their solution but hasn’t started searching for alternatives.

  3. Searching Alternatives – The prospect is actively exploring new options.

Selling to a prospect in the Status Quo stage is the hardest. Only about 1% are likely to convert. Prospects in the Searching Alternatives stage are easier to engage, but competition is higher since they’re evaluating multiple solutions.

The best time to connect is during the Window of Dissatisfaction — when the prospect feels pain but hasn’t begun searching. This is where the first-mover advantage comes in. At PredictLeads, our goal is to help you detect when a prospect enters this phase. By spotting buying signals early, you can stay ahead of competitors and improve your win rates.

PredictLeads’ Mission: Turning Data Into Growth

At PredictLeads, our mission is simple but powerful: help companies grow smarter with better data.

In today’s competitive world, information is everywhere. But not all information is useful. Businesses often waste time on outdated or irrelevant signals, chasing leads that never convert. PredictLeads exists to change that.

By transforming millions of raw signals into clean datasets, we help teams cut through the noise and focus on opportunities that truly matter.

What We Do

PredictLeads scans the web to detect:

  • Job Openings – showing when companies are hiring, growing, or shifting focus.
  • News Events – revealing funding rounds, partnerships, acquisitions, and more.
  • Technology Detections – mapping which tools and platforms companies adopt.
  • Connections Data – uncovering real business relationships hidden in plain sight.
  • Website Evolution – tracking changes that indicate new strategies or launches.

With these datasets, sales teams book more meetings, investors spot market shifts, and businesses make faster, more confident decisions.

How We See the Future

Data isn’t just numbers on a screen. It’s the backbone of strategy, creativity, and growth. Our mission is to be the partner that empowers businesses to transform data into action. With the right insights, we believe companies can build stronger connections, scale faster, and unlock opportunities they might have missed.

At PredictLeads, we see data as the fuel for growth. And our mission is to make sure you never run out of it.
