Customizing Lead Status
To customize the lead status in HubSpot, follow these steps:
- Click the Settings icon on the upper right side of the main navigation.
- In the left-side Settings menu, select Properties.
- Search for the Property: Lead Status.
- Adjust the Lead Status Labels and Internal Value to fit your situation/business.
Customizing lead status allows you to tailor the CRM to reflect your unique sales process, making it easier for your team to prioritize and manage leads.
Editing Lead Status for Contacts and Companies
It's important to note that there is both a lead status property for contacts and a lead status property for companies within HubSpot. Ensure you are editing the correct one to maintain consistency in lead management across your CRM.
If changes made to the 'Lead Status' categories are not reflecting in your company dropdown selection, it's likely that the adjustments were made under contacts instead of companies, or vice versa. Revisit the properties section and make sure to apply changes to the correct lead status property.
Lead Management Best Practices
Effectively managing leads within HubSpot not only involves customizing lead statuses but also requires a comprehensive approach to lead management:
- Regularly update the lead status property for your contacts to reflect their current stage in the sales process.
- Utilize workflows to automate lead status updates based on specific criteria or sales activities.
- Implement lead scoring to automatically prioritize leads based on their engagement and likelihood to convert.
By combining customized lead statuses with HubSpot's lead management tools, you can streamline your sales process, ensuring that your team focuses their efforts on leads that are most likely to convert.
