Works with Apollo
How Signado Works With Apollo
Apollo gives you the contacts and sequences. Signado tells you when to reach out, and why now.
From Apollo list to signal-timed outreach in 4 steps
Build your list in Apollo
Use Apollo's filters to create a targeted list by industry, company size, seniority, and job title. Export as CSV.
Import into Signado
Upload the CSV. Signado extracts every unique company from your contact list and deduplicates automatically.
Set monitoring priority
Designate high-value targets as Priority (monitored daily) and the rest as Watchlist (monitored weekly). Signado scans for 7 buying signals across all companies.
Act on signals, not schedules
When a buying event is detected, Signado surfaces the company with the specific signal, a relevance score, and an AI-generated outreach message. Export to Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, or CSV.
The piece Apollo doesn't cover
Apollo tells you who to contact. It doesn't tell you when. Sequences fire on fixed schedules — send Tuesday at 9am, follow up Thursday at 2pm, bump again next Monday. The timing has nothing to do with what's happening at the prospect's company. It's a calendar cadence, not a response to real events.
There's no mechanism inside Apollo to detect buying windows. Your list says Sarah is VP Sales at Company X. It doesn't say Company X closed a $40M Series B last week, posted 8 sales roles this month, and just hired a new CRO. Those events change everything about whether Sarah will open your email — and Apollo doesn't track them.
The result: generic emails sent at arbitrary moments, competing with 50 other SDRs who pulled the same list from the same database using the same filters. Everyone has the same contacts. Nobody knows who's actually ready to buy right now.
Why add Signado to Apollo
Signal detection
Monitors 7 buying signals: hiring activity, funding rounds, company news, product launches, leadership changes, executive linkedin activity, and partnership announcements.
Intent scoring
Scores each signal by relevance and recency. Prioritizes the strongest signals so you focus on the accounts most likely to respond.
AI outreach
Generates personalized messages that reference the specific buying signal detected. No more generic templates.
Timing intelligence
Triggers outreach when buying windows open, not on a calendar cadence. You reach out because something happened, not because it's Tuesday.
Export your Apollo contact list as CSV. Import it into Signado. The platform extracts every unique company from your contacts and begins monitoring each one for buying signals: daily for priority accounts, weekly for watchlist.
When a real event happens (a funding round closes, a VP gets hired, headcount surges in a specific department, a product launch is announced), Signado surfaces that company with the specific signal, a relevance score, and an AI-generated outreach message that references the event directly. No manual research. No guessing what to write.
You stop emailing 500 people hoping 10 care. You email 30 who gave you a verifiable reason this week.
What changes when you add Signado
Sequences fire on a fixed schedule. Same template to everyone on the list.
"Hi Sarah, I noticed your company might benefit from a more efficient approach to [industry topic]. Would you be open to a quick call this week?"
Outreach triggers when a buying signal is detected. Message references the specific event.
"Hi Sarah, congrats on the Series B — $40M is a serious round. With 8 new sales roles posted this month, it looks like you're scaling the revenue org fast. Here's how teams in that exact phase use signal-based outreach to hit ramp targets..."
Common questions
Does Signado replace Apollo?
No. Apollo is a contact database for finding who to reach. Signado is a signal intelligence layer for knowing when to reach out and what to say. Most users keep Apollo for contact sourcing and add Signado for timing.
How do I get my Apollo contacts into Signado?
Export your Apollo list as CSV. Upload it to Signado. The platform automatically extracts every unique company from your contacts and begins monitoring for buying signals.
What buying signals does Signado detect?
7 signal types: hiring activity, funding rounds, company news, product launches, leadership changes, executive linkedin activity, and partnership announcements. Each signal is scored by relevance and recency.
How is this different from Apollo's buyer intent signals?
Apollo's intent feature tracks anonymous website browsing behavior — which companies visited your site. Signado monitors verified public business events: a specific funding round amount, a named executive hire, a job posting in a specific department. Intent signals indicate curiosity. Buying signals indicate organizational readiness to purchase.
How quickly are signals detected?
Priority companies are monitored daily. Watchlist companies are monitored weekly. When a signal is detected, it's scored and available immediately with an AI-generated outreach message.
Can I use Signado without Apollo?
Yes. Signado works with any contact list — Apollo, LinkedIn exports, CSV files, or CRM exports. Apollo is not required.
What tools can I export Signado messages to?
CSV, Lemlist, Smartlead, and Instantly. You can also copy messages directly for use in any email platform.
What does Signado cost?
Starter at $149/month, Growth at $349/month, Scale at $649/month. Flat monthly rate — no per-user fees. Your whole team uses one workspace.
Keep Apollo for the contacts. Add Signado for the timing.
You don't have to rip and replace. Add signal intelligence to the contacts you already have.
