Hello:

I work in an industry which allows us to know all of our potential customer
base. We have about 7,000 potential target customers and we have a purchased
list of all that information.

Should I take all those customers and place them in different marketing
lists or should we important them all as Leads into CRM 3.0?

Since this is a list that contains all potential customers in our industry,
some are already our customers.

bring them into a list.

you can then market to them and then convert the reponses to an opportunity
record.

However if you do not want to bulk mail or market to them but instead just
call them then you could import as leads. I would still also add them to a
list as this would still allow you to send out mailings to them

John, can you explain to me how you bring names into a list only and market
to them. On import tool I don't see an option to import to list.
