import contacts from excel to iphone?
For telephone sales personnel, the main job during the day is making a lot of phone calls. Traditionally, they do it in two ways:
The first method: the company prints out customer phone numbers, and then the sales staff dial each number one by one. The downside is that inputting phone numbers is troublesome, and it strains the eyes.
The second method: they open the computer and directly input phone numbers into an Excel spreadsheet. The drawback is the same: too many numbers, straining the eyes, and needing to mark which numbers have been dialed.
Smart salespeople naturally think about how to improve the efficiency of making phone calls. The answer is there: we can directly import the numbers from the Excel spreadsheet into a mobile phone.
Next, we will share some tips and tutorials with everyone on how to do this.
First, we need to prepare the phone number data to be imported, which can be organized into an Excel spreadsheet. In simple terms, the format of the phone numbers needs to be adjusted in the Excel spreadsheet, along with adding any necessary notes.
However, if the Excel spreadsheet is sent directly to the phone and opened as an Excel file, how can this type of data be stored in the phone's contacts? The method is simple: we just need to convert the Excel file to a format recognized by the phone's contacts list.
I directly used an online web conversion tool for this conversion, called "Excel fast conversion to address book" (https://www.fobdao.com/).
Following the instructions, we need to first download their Excel template and input our phone number data into the Excel spreadsheet, following the provided format. The first column should contain names or company names, and the second column should contain the phone numbers or landline numbers.
After saving this Excel spreadsheet, we upload it to the website for online conversion. The process is very fast, taking about one or two seconds, and then the webpage will directly pop up with the converted file, which we can then download. This file cannot be opened on the computer; it can only be sent to the phone for the phone's contacts list to read.
We use a messaging app to send it to the phone and then simply open it using the phone's contacts list. Once opened, the phone's contacts list will directly read this file and save the phone numbers to the contacts list.
Please be patient, and after a while, the phone's contacts list will display these numbers. This way, we don't need to input numbers to make calls every day; we can directly dial them on the phone.
