While uploading bulk contact data, duplicate entries can occur and affect data accuracy. MSGClub CRM automatically identifies these duplicates and provides unique Contact IDs (CIDs) for easy tracking.
Using CIDs, you can quickly manage and assign duplicate records to your sales team. This helps keep your data organised, reduces redundancy, and ensures a clean contact database.
