Good to know

  • Contacts an agent creates are always assigned to that agent.
  • One phone number can only be on one record. If the number is already on a contact, you will be told.
  • To add a second phone number, an extra email or a mailing address later, use the Property tab on the record.
  • To bring in many people at once, use Import. Each file becomes a calling list.
