Organise Contacts Better with Lists and Tags (at the Point of Creation)

Earlier, when you added new contacts to Salesgear or enrolled them into a sequence, you could only assign tags.

Now, you can assign both Lists and Tags right away.

This small change removes a lot of cleanup work later and helps you stay organized from the very first interaction.

With this update, every new contact can be:

  • Placed into the right list

  • Labeled with the right tags

  • Ready for outreach or segmentation immediately

No more adding contacts first and organizing them later.


How Lists and Tags work together

Before we get into steps, here’s the mental model:

  • Lists help you group contacts into structured buckets
    (for example: US SMB Prospects, Hiring Managers, Q4 Outreach)

  • Tags help you add flexible labels across contacts
    (for example: sales, fintech, warm lead, event follow-up)

With this update, you can apply both at the same time, at the moment a contact enters Salesgear.


Where this works

You can now add Lists and Tags in two key places:

  1. While creating new contacts

  2. While adding contacts to a sequence

This applies whether you’re adding contacts:

  • Individually

  • In bulk

  • From imports or workflows that end in sequence enrollment


Adding Lists and Tags while creating a new contact

When creating a new contact in Salesgear:

  1. Go to Contacts

  2. Click Add Contact

  3. Choose Single or Multiple

  4. Enter the contact details

You’ll now see options to:

  • Select one or more Lists

  • Add existing or new Tags

Once you save:

  • The contact is created

  • Added to the selected list(s)

  • Tagged correctly from day one

No follow-up organization needed.


Adding Lists and Tags while adding contacts to a sequence

When enrolling contacts into a sequence:

  1. Select contacts from Contacts, Discover, or other supported views

  2. Click Add to Sequence

  3. Choose the sequence

Before confirming, you’ll now see options to:

  • Add the contacts to one or more Lists

  • Apply Tags at the same time

When the sequence starts:

  • Contacts are enrolled

  • Lists are updated

  • Tags are applied automatically

This keeps outreach, segmentation, and reporting aligned.


Why this improves day-to-day workflows

This update helps in several practical ways:

  • Cleaner CRM from the start
    Contacts don’t sit ungrouped after creation.

  • Faster segmentation later
    Lists and tags are already in place when filtering, exporting, or reporting.

  • Better handoffs across teams
    Everyone understands why a contact exists and where they belong.

  • Fewer manual steps
    No need to revisit contacts just to organize them.


Things to keep in mind

  • Lists are optional — you can still add contacts without assigning one

  • Tags can be created on the fly if they don’t already exist

  • Contacts can belong to multiple lists and have multiple tags

  • Existing workflows continue to work as before; this only adds flexibility
