# Trigger Event Finder
Triggered outbound dramatically outperforms cold outbound because timing is the most underrated variable in conversion. A buyer 2 weeks after a funding round is a different person than the same buyer 6 weeks before. trigger-event-finder maps the events that move your ICP from "passive" to "active intent" and tells you how to monitor for them. Without a monitoring plan, trigger identification is just theory - you need to know the signal, the source, and the lag time between event and action.
## When to use
- Shifting from cold spray-and-pray outbound to event-triggered outbound
- Setting up monitoring after completing ICP definition - once you know who to target, this defines when to reach them
- When reply rates suggest your timing is wrong (people aren't cold, they're just not at the right moment)
- Building a signal stack for a new segment before the first campaign goes live
## When NOT to use
- You have no audience to monitor yet - use `audience-builder` first to define who you're watching
- You have an existing trigger but your messaging is generic - a well-timed generic opener still loses. Use `icebreaker` to build the trigger-anchored message first
- You're targeting a single named account tactically - this skill is for systematic monitoring across a list, not one-off account research
## Use this instead
- For defining the ICP first -> `icp-definer`
- For building the audience to monitor -> `audience-builder`
- For drafting the trigger-anch
