Effective lead generation demands staying on top of every sales conversation with prospects. However, managing multiple conversations can be challenging and may result in missed opportunities.
The arrival of Unified Inbox made it easier to handle all your conversations in one place. With all the positive responses from the community and users asking for depth, Saleshandy is taking a step further by enhancing its capabilities. It will empower you to manage the conversations and monitor your efforts on valuable deals.
We’re introducing Prospect Outcome in Saleshandy. It is a powerful update to enhance deal flow management. Now you can focus on high-value sales through a synchronized workflow.
In this blog, you’ll discover everything about the Prospect Outcome feature and how it helps you in your lead-building process inside Saleshandy.
What is Prospect Outcome?
We’ve made exciting improvements in the Unified Inbox by introducing Prospect Outcome to focus on lead stages. These outcomes replace the previous “Categories” and offer an intuitive way to organize conversations with the prospects. Now, you can utilize the power of Unified Inbox to the fullest.
Before, the “Categories” helped you sort and manage prospects based on their interests, filter conversations, and focus on the potential leads genuinely interested in your offer. Now you’ll see it with the extended capabilities.
This update renamed “All Categories” to “All Outcomes” in the Unified Inbox. But why this change?
The simple answer is to manage your workflow for prospect outreach better and define stages for your sales pipeline. The ‘outcome’ refers to the intent of the replies made by the prospects.
You can also assign specific outcomes to the prospects inside your sequences (discussed later in the blog).
But that’s not the only change.
Prospect Outcome offers more than just filtering tags. Each Outcome creates a journey for every prospect, providing valuable insights into their deal size and status in your sales pipeline. Let’s see how!
How Outcome Enhances Prospect Workflow?
Prospect Outcome helps you set up a leak-proof lead generation funnel using a synced workflow between different functionalities of Saleshandy.
The AI capabilities make it easy for you to track your prospect’s responses and intent. It automatically assigns a tag based on the intent received in the reply to the email, which is also directly updated at the sequence level. So you don’t need manual categorization of prospects;
Let’s see the benefits you get from the synced workflow.
Assign outcomes to prospects
Prospect Outcome helps easily track the status of a prospect in the pipeline, such as whether the prospect has booked meetings or shown interest in any offers, based on the replies received in the Unified Inbox.
The outcomes available in the Unified Inbox are: Interested 😃, Not Interested 😞, Meeting Booked 📅, Automatic Response 📧, Closed ✅, Not Now ⏰, Do Not Contact 🚫
Automatic updates in the prospect workflow
Prospect Outcome eliminates confusion and manual workflow by providing a comprehensive view of prospect status synced across the Unified Inbox and at the sequence level.
When you assign an Outcome to a conversation in the Unified Inbox, it automatically syncs and updates at the sequence level. This dynamic status change provides a broad view of your prospects’ progress, streamlining your workflow.
Conversely, any changes to Outcome statuses at the Sequence level will instantly reflect in the Unified Inbox. This capability allows you to easily track the different stages of your sales pipeline, assess deal sizes, and prioritize your efforts effectively.
By managing Outcome assignments and tracking changes in real-time, Saleshandy helps you stay on top of the deals and maximize their value.

Effective deal flow management
When generating leads and managing conversations, monitoring your deals is crucial—helping you align your efforts with the right target audience. It provides a clear view of your pipeline.
However, an excessive number of conversations can complicate manual deal management. This might require you to prioritize your efforts with the highest chances of success.
We’ve introduced a deal assignment feature alongside Prospect Outcome to address this.
