# Welcome to WhiteWhale

> Learn how WhiteWhale monitors your target accounts daily for custom buying signals and delivers Why Now summaries so your sales team knows exactly who to contact and why.

Most sales teams reach out to accounts based on firmographics — industry, size, geography. They all pull from the same lists, run the same sequences, and wonder why response rates are falling.

WhiteWhale is different. Instead of generic intent data, you get **custom buying signals** — questions you write, specific to your ICP, monitored every day across news, job postings, earnings calls, social, and the web. When something changes at an account that matters to your sales motion, you know about it first.

The result: your reps know exactly which accounts to contact, with a specific reason to reach out, right now.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="You write the signals">
    Define 10–15 questions that describe what makes a perfect buying moment for your team. *Did they hire a new CRO? Are they hiring SDRs? Did they announce a new market expansion?* These are your signals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="WhiteWhale monitors every account, every day">
    WhiteWhale scans news, press releases, job postings, earnings calls, company websites, and social posts daily — looking for answers to your questions across every account in your book.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get the story, not just a signal">
    When signals fire, WhiteWhale connects the dots and writes a **Why Now summary** — a 2–3 sentence explanation of what's changing at the account and why it's worth reaching out today.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You reach out with context">
    Your reps use the Why Now to personalize outreach with the specific thing they noticed. Not a generic pitch — a message that shows the prospect you did your homework.
  </Step>
