Your inbox exploding isn’t opportunity. It’s distraction disguised as progress.
Most pros confuse activity with intent. They chase clicks, opens, casual replies and convince themselves buyers are lining up.
But here’s the deeper issue: So many don’t even target the right audience in the first place.
If you’re aiming at the wrong buyers, no amount of signals will save you. And AI won’t fix that. Your judgment still matters.
Growth isn’t about more leads. It’s about sharper filters.
Pros who filter for buying intent win. The rest waste cycles chasing false signals.

-
A casual “just curious”? False signal.
-
A freebie-chaser with no budget? False signal.
-
A prospect moving budget approval? Real buying signal.
The inbox is full of motion, but traction comes only from intent.
Filtering for the right signals separates buyers from browsers. And that filter is where real growth starts.
