Standalone contacts are contacts that are not associated with a company. In Legrand CRM, you can import standalone contacts from a CSV file into Legrand CRM.

Legrand CRM automatically maps the file’s column headings to the CRM contact fields. However, you can also manually map the column headings to Legrand CRM contact fields.
