Beyond the Org Chart: Using Job Change Alerts to Find Your Warmest Leads
When champions change jobs, you have a churn risk and a warm lead. Job change alerts are your highest-intent signal. Here is how to turn them into pipeline.
Your biggest source of churn is also your biggest source of new business: the champions who leave your best accounts. When they move, you can lose a renewal or gain a warm path into a brand-new logo.
Tracking job changes manually is impossible. By the time you notice a champion left, the warm lead is ice cold. Job change alerts fix that.
Why job change alerts are gold
- They already know you, no cold intro required.
- They already trust you, you proved value before.
- They need fast wins, new leaders look for quick impact.
- This is buyer intent, hotter than any ad click.
The problem with manual tracking
Manually tracking every key contact's career move is a full-time job no one has time for. Most teams find out 6-9 months later during a routine check-in, far too late.

How to systematize job change plays
- Monitor champions: set alerts on power users, deal champions, and exec sponsors.
- Enrich instantly: pull LinkedIn moves and match to your CRM accounts.
- Score the move: is the new company greenfield, expansion, or restricted?
- Generate the brief: last 5 interactions, sentiment, open tickets, and wins.
- Call with purpose: lead with the impact you delivered before, offer a quick-win pilot.
Scripts you can swipe today
- Warm champion move: 'Hi Sarah, congrats on VP Ops at NorthBridge. You loved how we cut onboarding time by 18% at Acme. Want to see a fast-win pilot for your new team?'
- Renewal risk flip: 'Hey Chris, I saw you moved on from Apex. Before we hand off your old account, want to borrow the playbook that lifted their NPS? We can tailor it for your new org.'
- Executive trigger: 'Hi Priya, I noticed you took the COO seat. We helped your last org reduce lead-to-touch by 35%. Shall we map the same play for your first 90 days?'
Putting it in action
Imagine: Monday morning, you get an alert, 'Sarah Jones, your champion at Client Inc, is now VP Operations at New Prospect Corp.' You open her Context Card, see your last five meetings, her glowing email, and that New Prospect is greenfield. You do not send a generic congrats, you call with a plan.
'Hi Sarah, congrats on the new role. You saw how we gave your team fast wins at Client Inc. When you are ready to make an impact at New Prospect, I have three ideas tailored to your new stack, want to see them?'
Stop seeing job changes as a threat. Start seeing them as your hottest pipeline.
