Contact Stages help you understand how much you're interacting with your contacts. These stages are labels like Interested, Engaging, Not Interested, Do Not Contact, and others.

By labeling each contact, you can see the big picture of your outreach efforts. This helps you communicate and follow up more effectively.

πŸ’‘ Important: Contact stages are not the same as contact statuses. Reply automatically assigns contact statuses based on the type of interaction.

  4. Hover over the stage and click on the βš™οΈ icon to edit;

  5. Make changes and click Save:
