## List building

* Choose target accounts. \[more on that later].
* Use a contact provider to acquire the entire set of relevant contacts at target accounts. Also link the contact provider to the CRM for an always-updated database.
* Import the list into CRM database as leads; connect leads (individuals) to accounts.
* Thus get a holistic view of relevant leads (individuals) at target accounts (companies).
* This is perhaps the single most important aspect which is often ignored at many firms.
