In Outreach, you store information about your customers using accounts and prospects. Accounts are companies that you're doing business with, and prospects are the people who work for them.
Accounts in Outreach allow you to connect and view data for all prospects associated with a specific account. Once prospects are added to an account, you can view data-driven insights alongside open and/or historical prospect tasks, emails, calls, sequences, and activity.
