Best way to manage 'No Answers'

Hi, what is the best way to manage 'no answer' calls. 

For example, when it takes 2 or 3 calls to actually speak to someone. 

Should there be a stage for each of the calls? 

Stage 1 Call #1 
If answer, move to Stage 4
If no answer, move to Stage 2 

Stage 2 Call #2
If answer, move to Stage 4
If no answer, move to Stage 3 

Stage 3 Call #3
If answer, move to Stage 4
If no answer, move to Stage 3 

Stage 4 
Sale / No Sale 


On each stage, if they don't answer, I'd like to send them an email or sms 'hey I tried calling' 

So, should 'no answers' be moved stage to stage. Or is there a way to keep them in one stage in a 'holding pattern' until first contact? 

Any feedback would be appreciated. 

Thanks

    Set up activities using automation. The activity subject could indicate the # attempt.

     

    But yes, an outcome field on Activities will be a huge plus.
