Sequence Step Breakdown

To see how each individual step in your campaign is performing:

  1. Open a campaign and click the Analytics tab.

  2. Scroll to the Sequence Step Performance section.

  3. You'll see metrics for each step — how many prospects reached that step, and how many moved past it.

This lets you identify exactly where prospects are dropping off in your sequence — so you can optimize the specific step that's underperforming.

Campaign Comparison

To compare performance across multiple campaigns:

  1. Go to Analytics → Campaign Overview.

  2. Select the campaigns you want to compare using the filter at the top.

  3. View side-by-side metrics — useful for identifying which audience, message style, or sequence structure is working best.

Exporting Reports

  2. Click Export Report at the top right.

  3. Download as CSV or PDF.
