What Slows Down Work With Google Contacts and VerticalResponse

Despite the advantages of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse, their use is often accompanied by difficulties that can hinder the achievement of business goals. Working with them can be complicated by several factors:

  • Manual data entry. The user needs to open Google Contacts, select the contacts, copy them, and then paste them into VerticalResponse. This can take a long time, especially with numerous contacts.
  • Errors in entering information. This leads to a loss of time and resources and also worsens the quality of communication with customers and marketing campaigns.
  • Updating data. The user needs to constantly monitor and update the data, which can lead to late changes.
  • Time to switch between services. Frequent opening and closing of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse takes extra time and distracts from the main tasks.
  • Complexity of data management. The user should carefully monitor which contacts have been transferred and which have not. This can become a burdensome task, especially for large databases.

These factors can significantly affect performance. That is why it is important to investigate how to eliminate or minimize them.

How to Get the Most Out of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse
