How to import leads with a template
1.) Go to Settings > Data Management > Imports.
2.) Click on Import Data > Browse.
3.) Choose the file you’d like to upload, then click Next.
In this example, I used LeadUpload1.xls.
NOTE: If you used a template for the lead upload, your data will automatically be mapped. If not, see below for how to get a template for the upload.
4.) Set the owner on the Review Settings and Import Data screen, then click Submit.
Once submitted, your lead will show up on the My Imports leads screen. When the upload is completed, the status will show as “Completed.”
