So its a vicious cycle in a good way. Cheers Hi,

Prior to loading the lists a basic level of deduplication / spam removal should be carried out however this is often overlooked. Once a sales opportunity has been identified, leads can be converted into contacts (and accounts in the case of salesforce) - at this point it's worth automatically search for existing contact records to avoid creating a duplicate. In addition leads and contacts can be related to a specific campaign or multiple campaigns to track the influence and revenue generated from marketing activities.
