Required Fields: CompanyName and Zip
-
CompanyName
- Make sure the business names are represented properly:
- Confirm the business names have the correct capitalization and spelling.
- Do not include any additional information about the business, such as its specialty or store code.
- Make sure the business names are represented properly:
-
UserEmail
- The user emails must be formatted correctly (no spaces or apostrophes).
-
Avoid using emails that are likely accessed by multiple people. This affects open rates and will likely increase the number of unsubscribes.
- Some examples include info@domain.com, sales@domain.com, and support@domain.com.
-
Other Notes
- Leave any unknown fields empty (except for CompanyName and Zip). Our system will attempt to fill in any empty fields by searching online provided you check the box at the bottom of the upload wizard called 'Attempt to fill in empty cells'.
-
You cannot provide an email address for a salesperson that does not exist in the system yet.
