The term contacts is from the 1620s, "action, state, or condition of touching," from Latin contactus "a touching" (especially "a touching of something unclean, contamination"), from past participle of contingere "to touch, seize," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + tangere "to touch."

Increasing revenue and gaining velocity in business relies on strong business contacts. Having good phone numbers for your contacts will result in talking to more people. Instead of searching yourself, it’s far more productive to spend money on a service that will give you reliable data. Offer a newsletter, keep up and maintain excellent customer support and service, keep your website content fresh, and position yourself as the answer.
