The Signal-to-Action Gap

Why Intent Alone Isn’t Enough

In 2025, RevOps teams are inundated with buyer signals—website visits, job changes, product usage spikes. Yet, many struggle to convert these signals into meaningful sales conversations. The challenge lies not in signal detection but in actioning these insights effectively.

Tools like Koala and Common Room excel at identifying intent but often leave the execution to sales teams, leading to missed opportunities and fragmented workflows.

Valley bridges this gap by not only detecting signals but also executing personalized outreach at scale, transforming intent into booked meetings.

Koala and Common Room: Signal Detection Without Execution

While Koala and Common Room are proficient in identifying buyer intent, they lack the tools to act on these insights:

Koala: Focuses on detecting website and email engagement but requires manual follow-up, leading to potential delays.
Common Room: Aggregates signals from various sources but lacks integrated outreach capabilities, necessitating additional tools and processes.

This separation between detection and action can result in missed opportunities and inefficiencies.

For RevOps teams aiming to operationalize intent data effectively, Valley offers a unified platform that not only detects buyer signals but also acts on them with personalized, compliant outreach. By bridging the gap between signal detection and execution, Valley ensures that every opportunity is pursued, leading to increased conversions and revenue growth.
