Understanding Customer States in Zendesk Sell

Learn about Customer states in Zendesk Sell, from Current to Past Customer, and how they help manage your sales relationships.

What are the different Customer states in Zendesk Sell?

In Zendesk Sell, Customer states indicate the status of a contact after a deal is won. A 'Current Customer' status is automatically assigned when a deal is won, and it remains until you manually change it to 'Past Customer'. A 'Non Customer' status means there are no deals associated with the contact.

These states help you keep track of your customer relationships and manage follow-ups or renewals. The system's automatic updates ensure that your contact statuses reflect the latest deal outcomes, streamlining your sales management process.
