Getting Started: How to Use Accountable Every Day

Once your profile is set up, Accountable becomes your daily operating system. The goal is simple: Never wonder who to contact, what to do next, or miss a follow-up again. There are two daily habits we want every user to build inside Accountable.

Updated this week

Daily Habit #1: Start Your Day in Accountable

Every morning, start your day by reviewing what Accountable has lined up for you.

Step 1: Check Your Alerts

  • Click the alert (bell) icon in the top right corner

  • Alerts highlight:

    • Follow-ups due today

    • Past-due activities

    • Key opportunities or milestones

If there are no alerts yet, that’s okay—your activity will build quickly as you use the system.

Step 2: Open the Follow-Ups Tab

Navigate to Follow-Ups in the top menu to see your daily action list.

Inside Follow-Ups, you’ll see four views:

  • Today – what needs to be done now

  • Past Due – anything that still needs attention

  • Future – upcoming tasks

  • History – completed activity

✅ Mark Complete - Click the checkmark when the activity is done.
This:

  • Logs the activity

  • Moves it to History

  • Keeps your follow-up system clean and accurate

✏️ Edit

Click the pencil icon to:

  • Update notes

  • Change the follow-up type

  • Reschedule the due date

  • Adjust details after a call or meeting

Use this if a conversation changes direction or needs a new next step.

🗑 Delete

Click the trash icon if the follow-up is no longer needed.

Deleting removes the task entirely. Use this only if the follow-up is no longer relevant.

Why This Matters

Everything in Follow-Ups is driving future reminders, suggestions, and reporting.
If you work directly from this screen, you’ll never have to ask:

“Who was I supposed to follow up with?”

Accountable already knows.

Daily Habit #2: End Your Day by Recording Activity

Before you log off for the day, make sure everything you did is recorded.

What to Record

  • Calls made

  • Meetings held

  • Emails sent outside the system

  • Conversations that need future follow-up

If it happened, it should be logged.

How Accountable Helps You Stay Proactive

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Accountable will continuously provide:

  • Follow-up reminders

  • Prospecting suggestions

  • Consumer opportunities

  • Key milestones worth reaching out about

The more consistently you use Accountable each day, the smarter and more valuable it becomes.
