- Click Create contact
- Fill in the First name field
- Fill in the Last name field
- Fill in the Email field
- Fill in the Company field
- Add any additional properties

Each field requires clicking, typing, and tabbing. For a single contact, this takes 30-60 seconds. For bulk entry, it adds up quickly.
The Shabe Way
With Shabe, say it all at once:
"Create a contact John Smith at Acme Inc, john@acme.com"
Shabe parses your natural language and creates the contact with all relevant fields populated.

- "at Acme Inc" → Company: Acme Inc
- "john@acme.com" → Email: john@acme.com
- "VP of Sales" → Job Title: VP of Sales
- "555-123-4567" → Phone: 555-123-4567
