The problem it solves

You've got a spreadsheet full of contacts and companies that need to end up in Salesforce, but typing each one in by hand is slow and invites typos and duplicate records. Checking whether an account already exists before creating a new one adds even more manual work.

Who it fits

A sales operations or admin person who needs to bulk-load contacts and accounts into Salesforce.

How it works

  1. You point the system at a Google Sheet of contacts and account names
  2. It checks Salesforce to see if each account already exists
  3. New accounts are created automatically when they don't exist yet
  4. The contact data is cleaned up and matched to the right account
  5. Contacts are created or updated in Salesforce as needed
What you get

Contact records loaded into Salesforce

Get your spreadsheet contacts and accounts mirrored into Salesforce without typing them in one by one.

What you get

A Salesforce database with accounts and contacts matching your spreadsheet, without duplicates.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a Salesforce account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
