deal with your data legacy. You can’t build a house on foundations of sand. You’ll need to look at duplicate records stale and out of date data that hasn’t been checked for a while or just inaccurate data. This may all sound very painful but the good news is that by starting to deal with this you are already building the foundations of a really effective data strategy and all will become clear One of the main causes of duplicate records buying in lists. Load these into your CRM and you’re very likely to add records that are already there.

The result of this slightly self-serving thought process is that you end up with two records in your CRM one record under Joe Bloggs Ltd and then another simply entered as Joe Bloggs .
To deal with these data issues companies usually run their data through a de duplication exercise to clean the data. For a one off exercise some businesses will do this in isolation by just running their own data against itself. But this does not address the addition of new data going forward. For a permanent solution effective companies, run their data against data from a third party who have up to date well managed and exhaustive content.
Their own records are matched against this file crucially the unique identification number used by the third party provider is linked to the internal records. In this way not only are duplicates removed but also the addition of new records can be controlled
For example… if users who want to add new records are forced to now use the third party’s company name index.
new records cannot be created if they already exist in the system
new records cannot be created if they already exist in the system
