Update contact details

Here we can modify some basic contact properties such as name, phone number and email. Here we can also update LifeCycle stage and lead status.

Life Cycle Stage:

  • Subscriber: a contact who has opted in to hear more from you by signing up for your blog or newsletter.
  • Lead: a contact who has converted on your website or through some other interaction with your organization beyond a subscription sign up.
  • Marketing Qualified Lead: a contact that your marketing team has qualified as ready for the sales team.
  • Sales Qualified Lead: a contact that your sales team has qualified as a potential customer.
  • Opportunity: a contact who is associated with a deal (e.g., they’re involved in a potential deal with your organization).
  • Customer: a contact with at least one closed deal.
  • Evangelist: a customer who has advocated for your organization.
  • Other: a wildcard stage that can be used when a contact does not fit any of the above stages.

Lead:

  • New: These are leads you have not yet reached out to.
    • Suggested saved filter: Contact owner is any of Me Lead status is any of New | Last contacted is unknown.

  • Connected: These are leads you’ve been able to make contact with but are not yet opportunities. A lead with this status may still be waiting on a booked meeting with a decision-maker on their team or may still be working to establish a budget.
    • Suggested saved filter: Contact owner is any of Me I Lead status is any of Connected I Last contacted is Last Week. Your columns can be Last Contacted, Recent Sales Emails Opened/Clicked, and Currently in Sequence.

    • Suggested saved filter: Contact owner is any of Me I Lead status is any of Open Deal. Your columns can be Last Contacted, Recent Sales Emails Opened/Clicked, and Currently in Sequence.
    • Suggested action: Send “Is there anything I can do to help?” template/sequence.
  • Unqualified: Contacts may become unqualified for a number of reasons. These are leads that may have told you they’re no longer interested in moving forward or leads you’ve determined aren’t a good fit for your product. This status may also indicate an opportunity to send this lead back to your marketing team for a remarketing campaign.
