There's a sentence I need to correct. There seem to be a few mistakes, but first I'd like to focus on one of them only:
"A list of contacts suitable for addressing can be formed according to various criteria, such as the business documents containing the selected item, the type of activities, marketing categorization, assortment of products, etc."
Perhpas, approaching would be better here, wouldn't it?
Many thanks in advance!
