5: Getting Visual with Contact Information

1. Maximizing Visual Layouts: Tony emphasizes the importance of visualizing all relevant information about contacts, making it readily available and accessible.

2. Customization for Your Business: He encourages users to tailor their layouts to display pertinent details for their specific business needs.
