15. Importing Your Data
 Now that you can clearly see you need to switch to eSpatial
to help you with your sales performance, the remaining question is,
how easy is it to use?
 Luckily, it's a really simple process. We’ve outlined all you need to do
in the following two-step guide.

16. Step 1 – Ensure your data is arranged correctly
It is unlikely that this will be an issue but it is a good idea
to check your dataset is formatted correctly. There are 4 simple rules:
Address, City, County, State and ZIP should all be in separate columns.
Each column has a unique header
Each Column has only one type of data (e.g. Numerical, Text)
The file must be in a standard spreadsheet format, CSV, XLS or
XLSX format

17. Step 2 – Upload your data to eSpatial

under three categories;
Spreadsheet file containing addresses
Spreadsheet file containing X and Y coordinates
Spreadsheet file containing geographic region names
Spreadsheet file containing a list of your territories
