I don't use close.io, but here's what I'd also recommend if you haven't done them already:

1) allow the user to enter their phone numbers in whatever format they want: 4081231234, (408)123-1234, 408-123-1234 and format it after they click 'save' to (408)123-1234 or however you want it.

2)Cache the domain of the email address for autocomplete suggestions if they enter a website. For example, if you type in phil@close.io for the email, I can already suggest http://close.io if you start typing in a website address.

We already do #1, but #2 is a good suggestion, thanks!
If you want to make international phone number entry work better, I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about that recently.

I've created a draft proposal you're more than welcome to follow up on at https://github.com/mtrimpe/jInternationalPhone

Interesting... looks promising. Using this would be tough while we share phone/email/urls fields though.
Bikeshedding on #2, set up a blacklist of very obvious non-business domains. Very few people with @gmail.com or @hotmail.com actually own the business on that domain.
