• Fill your contact data using the correct cells (FirstName, LastName, Phone, Company, Prefix)
• Do not leave empty rows in your import file
• If you don't plan to use some columns (like Company or Prefix) just leave them empty
• Save the file to your computer (please make sure you save it using the CSV format; the separator should be the comma character, not anything else)
