keeps the Sales Rep accountable
English
Marketing
Business/Commerce (general)
I am translating a text about how to make deals with potential clients.
Here they are talking about the onboarding process, but I think I cannot understand properly the meaning of the word "accountable" in this context.
"Onboarding primarily consists of tasks for other departments, but keeping a Deal in Sales’ radar keeps the **Sales Rep accountable** and can speed up the Onboarding process."
Does it mean "responsible" or "up-to-date"? How would you explain this sentence?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

gives the sales rep continued involvement and responsibility
It's a slightly strange text by someone with a less than perfect command of written English - hence the Trumpian use of initial capitals. And I assume onboarding refers to new customers rather than employees.
I also assume that keeping a deal in Sales' radar means keeping an eye on it and not forgetting it.
