If your contacts live in a spreadsheet or another CRM, bring them in all at once instead of adding them one by one.

Match your columns to CRE Fuel fields

CRE Fuel reads your headings and asks what each column is. Match your “Cell” column to Phone, your “Company” column to Company, and so on.If a column has no matching field, you can create one on the spot by naming it. Anything you do not want, you can leave unmapped.
5

Import

CRE Fuel creates the contacts and tells you how many landed.
CSV only. CRE Fuel does not read .xlsx Excel files directly. If your list is in Excel, save it as CSV first. It is one extra step and it takes a few seconds.
Include an email or phone number wherever you have one. CRE Fuel uses those to recognise people you already have, so they do not get added twice. A row with neither cannot be checked.
Nothing breaks. Before creating anything, CRE Fuel checks each row against your existing contacts by email or phone and skips the ones you already have. Importing can only add people, never change or overwrite them.The flip side: if you correct something in your spreadsheet and re-import, that correction will not come through, because the row is recognised and skipped. Edit those people in CRE Fuel directly instead.
Yes. If your list is large or messy, ask about the white-glove import rather than fighting the spreadsheet. Use Get help in your profile menu.
