Intent Signal Playbook

The Regulatory Deadline Playbook

Use hard legal deadlines (DPDP Act, SOC2 audits, ISO certifications) as undeniable forcing functions for B2B purchases.

Why This Signal Matters

Nothing forces a purchase decision faster than the threat of massive regulatory fines. If you sell compliance, security, or data governance, timing these outreach cadences to upcoming audits is a cheat code.

Who to target when this fires:

  • CISO
  • Data Protection Officer (DPO)
  • General Counsel
  • VP Engineering
