Also writes to instant messengers. CRM, SMS manager and manager save three contacts, although this is one person. It seems to the entrepreneur that there are a lot of customers and applications, too, but in fact - three times less. There are three deals in the system, but in fact one and two doubles. In this article I will tell you why duplicates in CRM are bad, how to remove them and how we made protection against them in OkoCRM.

If the customer base is huge and there are many duplicates, then the company will spend money on mailing, and Whatsapp mobile number list sales will be less than expected. Minus clients, minus money. And statistics in CRM will not compete with real numbers. According to reports, managers are great, but in terms of money at the box office, it’s not so rosy. To be honest, I tried to add duplicates in OkoCRM to show how they look.

To show what duplicates are, I registered in another well-known CRM with the letter A. Here I didn’t have to dance with a tambourine, duplicates are created in any quantity and for every taste.

You can enter the full name in the same way and in different ways, CRM will create any contact.
