You don’t want a database full of incorrect phone numbers or email addresses that bounce. Just like duplicate people records in your CRM can cause problems with reporting and correspondence. Good CRM data management saves you time and money.
Mercury Nexus make it easy to locate and delete duplicate people records.
How do I find duplicate records?

Open the Custom Report tab from top menu.

Click Download Report.
How to remove the duplicates?
You will need to use the Duplicate People Report to manually search for each duplicate people record. Select the most relevant people record and delete the other(s).
Can these duplicate records be automatically merged or deleted?
No. It is not possible for Mercury to determine which information is to be kept and which is to be deleted, therefore the merging and deleting of duplicate people must be done manually.
Note: It is a good idea to consider the following before deleting the duplicate:
Are there Opportunities linked to the record?
Are there any Attachments you need to download from the record?
