Organizing my contacts into groups and sharing the groups with different people has never been so easy!

Pros

  • You can easily create a group i.e. Maintenance and share that with anyone that you would like to have access to the maintenance groups contact information.
  • You can give permissions to some people or not which will allow them to make changes to the contacts. This can help to keep the information up-to-date for everyone.
  • This has made sharing contacts and organizing our information so much easier!

Cons

  • I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
  • My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

Return on Investment

  • Shared contacts is having a positive impact on our overall ROI by making us more efficient. We are spending less time emailing, calling, or popping in to get contact information to each other.
  • We can now organize our contacts in a more professional manner and nobody is asking what do we call the document that we saved our vendor information on.
