Champion Job Change Tracker

Champion Move Outreach

Tracks known buyers, champions, and power users for job changes. When someone who already knows your product moves to a new company, that's the highest-conversion outbound signal in B2B — they already trust you, they're in a new role trying to make an impact, and they have firsthand experience with what your product delivers.

Why this is the #1 signal: Every other signal (funding, hiring, leadership change) targets strangers. This targets people who already know, like, and trust your product. Conversion rates on champion-move outreach are 3-5x higher than cold outreach because:

• They don't need to be educated on what you do
• They have a positive experience to anchor on
• They want quick wins at the new company (bringing in a tool they trust IS a quick win)
• They can internally champion the deal because they have firsthand results to cite

When to Auto-Load

Load this composite when:

• User says "track my champions", "check for job changes", "who moved from our customer accounts", "champion tracking"
• User has a list of past buyers/users and wants to know if anyone changed jobs
• An upstream workflow (TAM Pulse) triggers a champion change check

Step 0: Configuration (One-Time Setup)

On first run for a client/user, collect and store these preferences. Skip on subsequent runs.

People to Track

Question	Purpose	Stored As
Where does your list of people to track come from?	Defines the input source	people_source
What categories of people are you tracking?	Determines outreach tone per person	tracked_categories

People source options:

• CRM export (Salesforce, HubSpot) — pull closed-won contacts, active users, power users
• CSV file — manually curated list
• Supabase people table — filter by lead_status = 'customer' or similar
• Manual list — names + LinkedIn URLs

Tracked categories:

Category	Who They Are	Why They Matter	Stored As
Past buyers	Signed the contract at their previous company	Can sign again. Know the ROI. Can articulate value to new leadership.	past_buyers
Past champions	Advocated for your product internally, drove adoption	Will champion again. Often have stronger conviction than the original buyer.	past_champions
Power users	Used your product daily, know it deeply	Can demonstrate value hands-on. Often become the internal expert at the new company.	power_users
Lost deal contacts	Evaluated your product but chose a competitor or no decision	Weaker signal but still valid — they know you exist. New company = fresh start.	lost_deal_contacts

ICP Definition (for qualifying the new company)

Question	Purpose	Stored As
What industries do you sell to?	Filter out non-ICP companies	target_industries
What company sizes? (employee count ranges)	Filter out too-small or too-large	target_company_size

Step 1: Detect Job Changes

Purpose: For each person in the tracking list, determine if they've moved to a new company.

Input Contract

tracked_people: [
  {
    full_name: string             # Required
    linkedin_url: string          # Strongly recommended (most reliable for matching)
    email: string | null          # Previous email (will be outdated after move)
    last_known_company: string    # The company they were at when you knew them
    last_known_title: string      # Their title when you knew them
    category: "past_buyer" | "past_champion" | "power_user" | "lost_deal_contact"
    relationship_context: string | null  # e.g. "Signed $50K deal in 2025", "Led implementation"
  }
]

Process

For each person, use the configured detection_tool:

1. Check current position against last_known_company:

   • LinkedIn: Visit profile (or use scraping tool) → compare current company to last_known_company
   • Apollo: People search by name + LinkedIn URL → check current employer
   • Web search: "{full_name}" AND ("{last_known_company}" OR "joined" OR "new role") — look for announcements
   • Any other tool: Must return the same output contract

2. For each person, determine:

   • Are they still at the same company? → No signal, skip.
   • Have they moved? → Signal detected. Capture new company + new title.
   • Has their profile gone dark (no updates, no activity)? → Flag for manual check.

3. For each mover, extract:

   • New company name
   • New title
   • Approximate start date at new company
   • New company domain (for research in Step 2)
   • Was this a promotion (higher title) or lateral move?

Output Contract

movers: [
  {
    person: {
      full_name: string
      linkedin_url: string
      category: string                # "past_buyer", "past_champion", etc.

      new_title: string
      start_date: string              # ISO date or approximate

      is_promotion: boolean           # Higher title than before?

Step 2: Research New Company & Qualify Against ICP

Purpose: For each mover, research their new company and determine if it's a fit for your product. This is the critical gate — just because someone you know moved doesn't mean their new company is a prospect.

Input Contract

movers: [...]                         # From Step 1 output
icp_criteria: {
  target_industries: string[]
  target_company_size: string         # e.g. "50-500 employees"
  target_geographies: string[]
  disqualifiers: string[]
  minimum_deal_size: string
}
your_company: {
  description: string
}

Process

For each mover's new company:

1. Research the new company using web search (tool-agnostic — always available):

   • What does the company do? (1-2 sentence summary)
   • What industry are they in?
   • Approximate company size (employees)
   • Location/HQ
   • Funding stage (if applicable)
   • Any recent news (funding, product launches, leadership changes)

2. Qualify against ICP:

   Criterion	Check	Pass/Fail
   Industry	Is new_company.industry in target_industries?	Hard filter
   Size	Is employee count within target_company_size range?	Hard filter
   Geography	Is location in target_geographies? (Skip if no geo filter)	Soft filter
   Disqualifiers	Does the company match any disqualifiers?	Hard filter
   Deal viability	Could this company afford minimum_deal_size?	Judgment call

3. Assess the person's position at the new company:

   Factor	What to Check	Why It Matters
   Authority level	Is their new title at or above their old title?	Higher = more budget authority
   Department fit	Are they in a department that buys/uses your product?	Must be in the right department
   Influence trajectory	Promoted into a leadership role?	More influence = stronger champion
   Seniority mismatch	Were they a user before, now they're a VP?	Adjust outreach — they're a buyer now, not a user

4. Determine outreach approach based on category + new position:

   Category at Old Company	New Position Level	Approach
   Past buyer → Buyer-level title	Re-sell: "You bought us before, bring us to [new company]"
   Past buyer → Higher title	Executive re-sell: "Now that you run [department], [product] scales with you"
   Past champion → Buyer-level title	Upgrade: "You championed us internally — now you own the budget"
   Past champion → Same level	Lateral champion: "Bring what worked at [old company] to [new company]"
   Power user → Any level	Bottom-up: "You know the product inside out — want to bring it to your new team?"
   Lost deal contact → Any	Fresh start: "Different company, different needs. Worth a second look?"

Tier Assignment

• Tier 1 (Act Today): Past buyer or champion + strong ICP fit + <30 days in new role. This is the warmest possible lead.
• Tier 2 (Act This Week): Past buyer/champion + moderate ICP fit, OR power user + strong ICP fit, OR any category + strong fit but 30-60 days in.
• Tier 3 (Queue): Lost deal contacts + strong fit, OR any category with moderate fit and 60+ days in.
• Disqualify: New company doesn't pass ICP hard filters.

Step 3: Find New Contact Details

Purpose: Get the mover's new email address and any additional context at the new company.

Input Contract

qualified_movers: [...]               # From Step 2 output
contact_tool: string                  # From config

Process

1. Find new work email — their old email is outdated. Use the configured contact_tool:

   • Apollo: Search by name + new company domain → email
   • Clearbit: Prospector lookup by name + domain
   • Web search: "{full_name}" AND "@{new_company_domain}" or company contact patterns
   • LinkedIn: InMail or connection request (flag for manual if no email found)

2. Verify the email is at the new company — don't accidentally email their old address.

3. Flag contacts without email — these should be routed to LinkedIn outreach instead.

Output Contract

contactable_movers: [
  {
    ...qualified_mover_fields,

Step 4: Draft Personalized Outreach

Purpose: Draft outreach that leverages the existing relationship. This is NOT cold email — these people know you. The tone, length, and approach are fundamentally different from the other signal composites. Pure LLM reasoning — inherently tool-agnostic.

Input Contract

contactable_movers: [...]             # From Step 3 output
your_company: {
  description: string
  customer_results: string[]          # General results customers see
  specific_results: {                 # Results at their specific previous company (if available)
    [company_name]: string            # e.g. "Acme Corp: reduced call handling time by 40%"
  }
}
sequence_config: {
  touches: integer                    # Default: 3
  timing: integer[]                   # Default: [1, 7, 14] (more spaced — less urgency, warmer relationship)
  tone: string                       # Default: "casual-direct" (you know this person)
  cta: string                        # Default: "quick catch-up call"
}

Process

1. Tone is fundamentally different from cold outreach:

   Cold Outreach	Champion Move Outreach
   Formal introduction	Casual reconnection
   Prove you're legitimate	They already trust you
   Signal-Proof-Ask framework	Relationship-Context-Ask framework
   "I noticed..."	"Hey — congrats on the move!"
   50-90 words Touch 1	Can be shorter — no education needed
   Professional-sharp tone	Casual-direct tone (you know each other)

2. Build the email around the relationship, not the product:

   Element	Source	How to Use
   Relationship anchor	relationship_context	"You were one of our first champions at [old company]"
   Their results	specific_results or customer_results	"The 40% improvement your team saw at [old company]..."
   New role congratulations	move.new_title + move.new_company	"Congrats on VP Sales at NewCo"
   New company relevance	new_company_research	"NewCo's push into enterprise makes this a natural fit"
   Category-specific angle	category + qualification.outreach_approach	See table below

3. Email angle by outreach approach:

   Approach	Touch 1 Template Shape	Example
   Re-sell	Congrats + "remember the results?" + "bring it to [new company]"	"Hey Jane — congrats on the VP Sales gig at NewCo. You saw what [product] did at Acme (40% faster call handling). NewCo's sales team could see the same lift. Worth a quick catch-up?"
   Upgrade	Congrats + "you championed this" + "now you own the budget"	"Congrats on the promotion. You pushed for [product] at [old company] — now you actually control the budget. Want to talk about bringing it to NewCo?"
   Lateral champion	Congrats + "you know what works" + "replicate it"	"Hey — saw you landed at NewCo. You know firsthand what [product] does. If the team there has the same [pain], happy to help you set it up."
   Bottom-up	Congrats + "you were a power user" + "your new team will love it"	"Congrats on the move. You were one of our best users at [old company]. If you want [product] on your desk at NewCo, I can get you set up quickly."
   Fresh start	Congrats + acknowledge the past + "different situation, worth a second look"	"Hey — congrats on the move to NewCo. I know the timing wasn't right when we spoke at [old company]. Different company, different needs — open to a fresh conversation?"

4. Sequence design (warmer, more spaced):

   Touch	Day	Purpose	Length	Notes
   Touch 1	1	Reconnect + congrats + soft ask	40-70 words	Shorter than cold — they know you
   Touch 2	7	Share a relevant result or update	30-50 words	New feature, new customer in their industry, case study
   Touch 3	14	Low-pressure check-in	20-30 words	"No rush — whenever the timing is right"

   Key difference from cold sequences: More spacing between touches (they're not a stranger you'll lose if you wait), warmer tone, and Touch 3 is a check-in not a breakup.

5. Follow email-drafting hard rules with one exception: Rule 6 ("never lie about how you found them") is flipped — you SHOULD reference exactly how you know them. That's the whole point.

## Sample Outreach for Review

### Jane Doe — VP Sales @ NewCo Inc
Category: Past buyer | Approach: Re-sell | 45 days in new role

**Touch 1 — Day 1**
Subject: Congrats on NewCo — quick thought
> Hey Jane — congrats on the VP Sales move to NewCo. Your team at Acme
> saw a 40% improvement in call handling after going live with [product].
> NewCo's enterprise push could see the same lift.
>
> Worth a 15-minute catch-up?

**Touch 2 — Day 7**
Subject: NewCo + [product] — a few ideas
> Quick follow-up — we just launched [new feature] that would've
> been perfect for the workflow your team ran at Acme. Happy to
> walk you through it.

**Touch 3 — Day 14**
Subject: Whenever the timing is right
> No rush on this. If [product] makes sense for what you're building
> at NewCo, I'm a quick call away. Either way, congrats again on the role.

### Bob Lee — Sales Manager @ StartupX (LinkedIn only)
Category: Power user | Approach: Bottom-up | 12 days in new role

**LinkedIn Message:**
> Hey Bob — congrats on StartupX! You were one of our most active users

Tips

• Run this check monthly, not daily. Job changes don't happen overnight. Monthly cadence catches moves within the first 30 days, which is the optimal outreach window.
• Keep your tracking list fresh. Add new champions, buyers, and power users as deals close. Remove people who've left the industry entirely.
• Specific results beat generic proof. "Your team saw 40% improvement" is 10x better than "our customers see great results." If you have specific data from their previous company, use it.
• Don't be pushy. These are warm contacts. A desperate tone ("We need your business!") destroys the relationship advantage. Casual and helpful wins.
• Promotions are the best sub-signal. Someone who was a champion and is now a VP is the warmest possible lead — they already believe in your product AND now control budget.
• Lost deal contacts are worth tracking too. "Different company, different needs" is a legitimate re-engagement angle. Their objection at the old company may not apply at the new one.
• LinkedIn is often better than email for this signal. The relationship is personal, not company-to-company. A LinkedIn message feels more natural than a cold-looking email from a sales tool.
• If the person was a VERY close contact (executive sponsor, etc.), skip the automated sequence. Pick up the phone or send a personal email from the founder/AE. Don't automate relationships that deserve a personal touch.
