By 2026, the CRM categorizes these patterns into high-intent clusters. It distinguishes between the “skimmer”—who bounces through pages with no clear path—and the “deep-diver”—who consumes technical documentation and security whitepapers.

When the CRM surfaces this “Intent Intensity,” it allows the sales representative to enter the conversation with a surgical understanding of the prospect’s primary concerns before the first “hello” is even exchanged.
