Importing data into your PartnerStack account

Make quality data a priority

This is an important step to consider before you invest your time analyzing the overlap between your own data and your partners’ — because the learnings will only be valuable if the data is sound and complete. Make it a priority to capture the right data in your PRM and CRM from the start.
