Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize lead status options in HubSpot.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to add and edit lead status values in HubSpot by navigating to Property Settings and modifying the Lead Status property. Sales teams can create custom statuses like "Not Interested" or "Uncontacted" to better track and manage prospects in their CRM pipeline.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the Gear icon in HubSpot to open account settings.
  2. Select Properties from the left navigation pane.
  3. Search for "Lead Status" in the properties search bar.
  4. Click the Edit button on the Lead Status property.
  5. Turn on the checkboxes and edit existing labels (e.g., rename "New" to "Uncontacted").
  6. Click + Add option to create new custom lead status values (e.g., "Not Interested").
  7. Enter the new label name for your custom lead status option.
  8. Click Save to finalize and apply your updated lead status options.

📌 Why this matters

Customizing lead status values in HubSpot allows sales teams to accurately reflect their unique pipeline stages rather than relying on generic defaults. Tailored statuses like "Uncontacted" or "Not Interested" give reps clearer context when prioritizing outreach, and make CRM reporting more meaningful and actionable. This level of contact property customization ensures that HubSpot adapts to your sales process — not the other way around — improving team alignment and conversion tracking across the board.
