Import Prospects via CSV File 📂
To kick things off, let's master the art of importing prospects using CSV files. But first, a little prep work – ensure your CSV is in tip-top format!
Those custom fields are powerful magic but must be mapped correctly during the import dance.
Just a heads up: improperly formatted columns can throw a wrench into your custom field mapping.
Not to worry – we've got a Sample CSV File you can use as a reference! 📝✨
💡Important

The fields you set (First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, etc.) can be used as Merge Tags to add a personalized spark to your emails.
Once your CSV file is ready, upload it to Saleshandy in two ways
Once your CSV file is uploaded, you can Map the Fields, Add Tags to the Prospects, and Verify your Prospect Email IDs.
Adding Prospects Manually💼
If you don't have many prospects to add to your campaign, you can do it manually instead of creating a CSV.
Go to the Prospect Tab and click on Add Prospect.
Fill in the required information of your prospect, and you are good to go.
Make sure you are verifying your prospect’s email address before sending them emails, as sending emails without verifying email addresses can increase your bounce rate.

Verify Leads with Saleshandy🛡️
Before you start sending emails, remember to verify them! Verifying leads is easy with Saleshandy and does not require uploading CSV separately.
Once you have uploaded the CSV in the prospect tab and mapped the field, you will get an Email verification option under Review &Import.
Put tags on your lists (they help you segment your list and keep it organized in Saleshandy), and proceed to continue.
You will receive an email after the prospects are verified, and it will show you the breakdown of Valid, Risky, and Contacts in the prospect list.
Export the list and remove the bad, risky, and undeliverable email addresses before uploading it to Saleshandy.
And voila, you have a clean email list now!
