How to bulk import leads into the CRM

Sometimes users receive a large list of Leads in spreadsheets from external sources and they are required to add them into their CRM on regular basis. These leads can be from multiple sources such as leads shared by marketing department, from external marketplaces, from third party tools or lead generation agencies.
