Contact points are accumulated based on the number of different types of contact with another person. They help in understanding the depth of relationships between two parties.

Following is one way to use this feature.
Example: Searching for (extracting) prospects based on relationship strength
1. From "Advanced" search, under "Other", click "+ Add" and choose "Contact Point" from the pull-down menu.
2. Specify how many points to search for using a numeric range (e.g., 5-12), and then click "Search" and view the list of contacts. 
In this way, you can search business contacts via contact points, find potential customers with whom you aren't connected, tag and manage them, and ultimately approach them.
