Lead statuses are a simple filtering method that you create to allow individuals to see selected groups of leads. Typical statuses are:
* '''New''' – indicating a new lead.
* '''Dead''' – indicating a lead that is not workable.
* '''Converted to Company''' – indicating that the lead is now a company.
* '''Deferred''' – indicating that you may wish to work on this lead in the future.
Only managers can delete leads. This feature provides for campaign-level reporting, where you wish to know how many leads for each type were generated from any given campaign.
You should indicate a lead is dead or some similar status when you no longer believe it is workable.
Lead statuses are set using the '''Lead''' tab.

Whenever entering any status, it is a good idea to use increments of ten. Consequently, should you need to insert an additional status at a later date; you don’t have to re-number any of the existing statuses.
