How do you keep your contacts?
I bet - in the chaos of ...
Part - on a smartphone. Part - On your old phone, which is now your mother. Part - in business cards. A part - on some scraps of paper all over the house.
Guessed?
Contact scattered. Contact lost.
In this article on how easy to work with the database of contacts up to 25 000 people.
What? You do not want to trust your contacts who are devils? Trust will have only Google, which already knows everything about you))
I'm talking about Google Contacts.
You say that every fool and so uses this service... maybe. But if you use it correctly?
First I'll show you what Google Contacts - is the only solution for your contacts. The other is not there.
The chip №1: 25,000 contacts
You have more?
Heck, even if you are a commercial agent, to work professionally with the base, I will never believe that this number may not be enough.
I, for example, only 90 contacts.
The chip №2: Cloud
I would even say that it is - the basic meaning of service.
Now your contacts are available to various programs and devices just a couple of clicks (List of devices and applications that use your contacts, you can see on
this link. By the way, Google Contacts works perfectly with iPhone!)For example, the loss of a smartphone (pechalka!) No more tragedy. Buy a new smart phone - all contact with you again. You can work.
The chip №3: Backup
I'm doing a backup is in three weeks time contacts database.
The Google Contacts is convenient:
By the way, if you delete a contact, then you have 30 days to safely restore it.
The chip №4: Notes

The chip №5: Powerful search

Enter the "repair":
From Google Contacts is no more sense to sort your contacts!

The Google Contacts does not happen because of the following chips ...
The chip №6: Groups
Yes, contacts can be divided into groups. Moreover, a single contact may consist in several groups.
See how I have organized their own groups:
- Part - those contacts that are displayed in my default phone
- RARE, OCHREDKO - contacts, with whom I communicate often. But access to them I have. Let not the 1-click, and in the 2-3, but there is.
- CASE - precisely those most casual contacts that are at times the most important thing.
In addition, you can create any kind of group which you are comfortable.
For example, I have a group of "football", which contains my fellow players. Sometimes I pick up people to kick a ball, and I need people.
To some, these groups will be useful for a mass mailing.
To the address book appears by default contact group "often", I do the following: Address Book> Contacts> Settings> Contacts to display> Google> FREQUENTLY.
I'm sure you have it all set up similar.
The chip №7: Photos
It's not even "krasyavosti". The point is convenience - contacts with photos faster are:
