1. Clean and Prepare Data for Import into Pipedrive

  • Duplicates: Remove duplicate entries to avoid confusion and ensure accurate reporting.
  • Inconsistent data – Standardize data formats (e.g., phone numbers, email addresses) to improve data quality and search capabilities.
  • Missing data – Fill in missing information whenever possible to ensure complete customer profiles.
• Format data for import:
  • Organize data into a spreadsheet format compatible with Pipedrive’s import function.
  • Map your existing data fields to the corresponding fields in Pipedrive.

2. Migrate Data from Existing Systems (if applicable)

• Choose the appropriate migration method:
  • Utilize Pipedrive’s built-in import function for smaller datasets.
  • Consider using a third-party data migration tool for larger datasets or complex migrations.
• Perform a test migration:
  • Import a small sample of data to test the migration process and identify any potential issues.
  • Thoroughly review the imported data for accuracy and completeness.

3. Ensure Data Accuracy and Consistency
