How can I change the Lead Status upfront of any contact without getting into Contact properties.

@Ishaani I use the free version so don't have access to workflows as @DanielSanchez mentioned.

I bulk edit whenever possible.  I would go to contacts and uses filters for lead status unknown and then change them all.

AS an aside, here is a great article on lead status - https://blog.hubspot.com/customers/manage-sales-process-hubspot-lead-status

@DanielSanchez Thank you for your swift response, using the free version currently.

@gelflex-cc  Thanks for the article.  It has helped me understand more about the subject. However, as you've suggeste I've tried using Filters but unable to change the Lead Status of multiple contacts in bulk. It would be great if you could share a screenshot of bulk editing.

Thanks!

This "bulk edit" can be used for many things.

Hi @Ishaani 

U can use workflows to change the property value easily for all contacts based in rules to WorkFlow.

Example: “if fillet the form”, “if is member of a list”, and many others options.
