  • Determine what pieces of contact information you want to track and standardize data entry to ensure consistency and accuracy.
  • Monitor new contact creation with scheduled reports and use CRM workflows to automate contact quality control. This will help ensure that your contact list is accurate and up to date.
  • Regularly send marketing emails to your contacts to keep their information updated and remove inactive contacts from your email marketing lists. Keeping track of opt-outs can help you avoid sending unwanted emails to contacts in the future.
