How it works

Someone who just got promoted is stepping into a bigger role with something to prove. They're evaluating everything their predecessor did and looking for ways to make their mark quickly. New title, new decisions, new opportunities for you.

You get instant alerts

When a promotion is detected, you receive their new title, expanded responsibilities, and the right context for outreach — while they're still in their first month and most open to change.

  • Budget authority level
  • Recommended outreach timing

Who to target

  • Individual contributors promoted to manager or director — first time with budget
  • Directors promoted to VP — taking on broader responsibility
  • VPs promoted to C-level — now a true executive buyer
