How do I bulk Assign Leads or Contacts to my Sales Reps?
2 Questions
1) First off, I want to make sure I uploaded my CSV correctly. When I uploaded about 19,000 contacts / organizations from a Zoom Info CSV, I uploaded them as Contacts. Should they have been uploaded as leads?
2) How do I bulk assign contacts / leads to certain sales reps? Their territories are assigned by city and I have a field mapped for cities already so just need to know how bulk assign them to certain reps

Hi Evan!
I believe you uploaded your data correctly if added as Contacts, but it depends a bit on how you want to continue with them. In any case, every Lead or later Deal has to be linked to a Contact. So in this case, Contacts are a must, and creating a Lead for that Contact is optional.
To bulk assign, I assume you need to change the ownership of this Contact or Lead. You can check about Bulk Editing in this article, it is possible in the list view.

- It depends on what your sales process is. Eventually, everything will be a contact. And as I have said in the past, I do not recommend using Leads functionality at all. Just another deals pipeline labeled 'leads' is good enough. Even better, just treat the first 2 stages of your actual deals pipeline as unqualified leads.
- Since the contacts are already in Pipedrive, the most effective way to assign these to your team is doing it outside Pipedrive. So:
- Export your Leads Data
- Use Excel/Google Sheets to determine the lead ownership.
- Reimport your leads with Lead ID and Lead Owner.
