Sales teams can’t afford to guess anymore. If you’re not engaging buyers at the exact moment they’re researching, you’re behind.
That’s why Lead Onion v4.06 is packed with new features to help you track, verify, and activate buyer intent with more precision than ever — all designed to save time, reduce friction, and drive revenue impact.
Below, we break down of the top 5 new features — what they are, how they work, and how your sales team can use them to win faster.
🔔 Slack Intent Alerts – Be First to the Deal
What it is:
Slack Intent Alerts send real-time buyer intent notifications straight to your Slack workspace. You can customize which signals trigger alerts — surges from key accounts, high-priority contacts researching a competitor, or new event-based signals. Each alert includes context such as company name, contact (if applicable), signal type, and surge level.
Use case:
A decision-maker at a top-tier account starts researching your category on Monday morning. Within seconds, your rep gets a Slack notification with full context and sends a personalized LinkedIn message before lunch.
Why it matters:
Instant notifications + context = faster response time, higher conversion rates. Teams can collaborate instantly and act on intent before competitors do.
🎯 Lookalike Audiences – Scale What Works
What it is:
Lookalike Audiences automatically find companies that mirror your best customers. Upload a list of previous wins, current clients, or successful cadence responses, and Lead Onion identifies high-fit companies showing similar firmographic traits — industry, size, geography — and active intent. Built-in actions let you reveal contacts, add them to workflows, or launch searches instantly.
Use case:
Upload 50 closed-won accounts from the past quarter. Lead Onion surfaces 200 more companies with the same profile and live intent. Your reps instantly reveal key contacts, add them to cadences, or push them into LinkedIn Ads.
Why it matters:
More high-fit accounts = bigger, faster pipeline. You scale outreach to proven segments instead of guessing.
📧 Bulk Sending – More Reach, Same Personal Touch
What it is:
Bulk Sending routes your one-to-one emails through SendGrid, bypassing Gmail/Outlook sending limits. You can choose tiers (500, 1,000, 2,000 emails per day per domain) and still keep the plain-text, personalized look of your sales emails. Replies land in your normal inbox.
Use case:
Instead of being capped at ~35 emails per mailbox per day, a rep sends 500 personalized emails via SendGrid — each triggered by a specific buying signal. Replies flow back into their normal workflow, but their volume triples overnight.
Why it matters:
Scale outreach while keeping personalization and reply tracking intact. More conversations without sacrificing quality.
🔗 LinkedIn Ads Audiences – Multi-Channel Retargeting at Scale
What it is:
Push your contact and company lists directly into LinkedIn Ads for multi-channel retargeting. With one click, you can sync high-intent audiences to LinkedIn, surround buyers with relevant ads, and keep them engaged while your reps run cadences.
Use case:
You’ve identified 500 high-intent contacts in Lead Onion. With one click you sync them to LinkedIn Ads, where your brand surrounds them with highly relevant ads while your SDRs run email cadences and call sequences. Every touch reinforces your message and keeps your pipeline warm.
Why it matters:
-
True multi-channel retargeting – Engage the same buyers simultaneously on LinkedIn and in your sales outreach.
-
Faster nurture cycles – Warm up contacts before your reps even reach out.
-
Consistent messaging – Ads and sales touchpoints echo each other, improving recall and conversion.
By syncing intent-powered audiences straight into LinkedIn, you can surround your buyers with consistent messaging wherever they are — boosting conversion rates and shortening sales cycles.
🔍 Intent Search – Prospect by Live Intent, Not Just Firmographics
What it is:
Traditional prospect searches stop at firmographics. Intent Search goes further — letting you search prospects by the actual intent signals buyers are showing and the type of Intent Qualified Lead (IQL) they represent. You’re not just finding people who look like your ICP — you’re finding people at the right accounts, actively in-market, right now.
Use case:
Your SDR wants to find verified senior IT buyers researching “cloud security” at companies over 500 employees. In seconds, Intent Search surfaces contacts who’ve triggered that exact signal, verified in Cognism, and matching your ICP. The SDR adds them to a high-priority outreach list and kicks off a personalized cadence immediately.
Why it matters:
-
Intent-first prospecting: Go beyond static job titles — search by who is actually researching, engaging, or buying now.
-
Smarter prioritization: Choose between verified individuals, direct researchers, or ICP matches depending on your campaign goals.
-
Faster activation: Skip manual filtering and move straight from intent signals to outreach-ready prospects.
With Intent Search, intent becomes the centre of your prospecting — making it the most precise, high-impact way to uncover buyers in-market today.
