Account stages

Understand and manage account stages

Written by Dasha Leshchenko

The People → Accounts page shows all companies that were created automatically based on contact information in your Reply account.

Each account has a stage, which is displayed in the Stage column in the accounts list.

What are account stages?

Account stages represent the progress of an account in your outreach process – from the first interaction to the final outcome.

They help you track where each account is in your pipeline and may include stages such as New, Qualified, Meeting booked, Negotiating, Disqualified, On hold, Closed-won, and Closed-lost.

Here's the list of available account stages:

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

Stages are shown as labels in the Accounts tab, on the individual account page, and in the account sidebar.
