Lifecycle Stage

The one field that says how far along someone is with EO, from a name you just met to a full member.

What are the values?

There are seven, and they run in this order. These are the values EO has configured, so this is exactly what you will see in HubSpot.

  1. Lead

    In HubSpot, and not a member yet. Everyone your chapter uploads starts here.

  2. Marketing Qualified

    MQL

    Has shown enough interest to be worth a real conversation.

  3. Sales Qualified Lead

    SQL

    Your chapter team has agreed they are ready for the formal application. Reaching this stage is what creates a deal.

  4. Opportunity

    An application is under way, with a live deal on their record.

  5. Customer

    Paid, and a full member.

  6. Elumni

    Was a member and has since moved on. The record stays for history.

  7. Evangelist

    Advocates for EO and refers other people to it.

"Elumni" is EO's own spelling, not a typo. Current Status explains why, and uses the same word for the same idea.

When do you change it?

Move it forward as the person really moves forward.
