Lead statuses
Every lead carries a status, and keeping statuses current is what turns the inbox from a list of messages into a pipeline you can read at a glance.
The four statuseslink
- check_circleNew — the enquiry just arrived and no one has responded yet. This is the state to clear fastest.
- check_circleContacted — you have replied or reached out, and the conversation is in progress.
- check_circleConverted — the aspirant went ahead: they enrolled, bought, or joined the program.
- check_circleClosed — the lead ended without converting: not a fit, went elsewhere, or stopped responding.
Why keep statuses honestlink
Statuses are for you: with them current, one glance at the inbox tells you what needs action (new), what is in flight (contacted), and how your listings actually perform (converted vs closed). Marking a dead lead closed costs nothing; leaving it as new buries tomorrow’s real enquiries.
