Important phones, email addresses and other data will not be lost if your smartphone is broken or there are problems with a work laptop or desktop applications where contacts are stored.

If you use the HubSpot CRM platform and the Google Contacts app, then most likely you have faced the task of transferring data from one system to another. It's good practice to back up important contacts. In addition, many people prefer to use Google Contacts to quickly find the right phone number, email address, and other data. This is especially true when an employee is often away from the office and uses a mobile phone to organize business communications.
