What are the stages?

Account stages represent various phases of the outreach process that you or your team members undertake with the account, from initial contact to deal closure. These stages can vary depending on your processes, but generally include such values as new, qualified, negotiating, meeting booked, on hold, closed-won, and more.

Here's the list of all stages and their descriptions:

Stage

Description

New

The account is new to the outreach pipeline.

Qualified

Sales-qualified account.

Meeting booked

A meeting is booked with a decision-maker.

Negotiating

Negotiations are in progress.

Disqualified

The account is not relevant.

On hold

Contact later.

Closed-won

The deal was completed successfully.

Closed-lost

The deal was lost.

The stages of accounts are shown as labels in the Accounts tab, on the individual account page, and in the account's profile sidebar.

By tracking the stages of accounts, you can keep better track of your outreach pipeline and make sure you are making progress toward your goals. This can help you prioritize your efforts and allocate resources more effectively.
