I'm using yasnippets and have snippets for organizations, job-related
contacts and private contacts.
I have attached them.
C-c C-x p helps to fill in optional properties.
I have all my contacts in one buffer with the following settings

Actually, my statement was trivial. Orgmode allows to define and add
every kind of additional properties. What I wanted to say was that it
is possible to export those additional properties to Google Contacts as
well.
I have for instance the property :Language: that is not part of the
Google API. I use it to store the preferred language of correspondence
for my job-related contacts for mailing actions.
Google Contacts accepts such fields in the CSV file to import and
creates user defined fields from them.

From the Orgmode manual:
"An alternative way to capture and process property values into a table
is provided by Eric Schulte's org-collector.el which is a contributed
package. It provides a general API to collect properties from entries
in a certain scope, and arbitrary Lisp expressions to process these
values before inserting them into a table or a dynamic block."
I'm using org-collector to create a table that can be exported to CSV
for import into Google Contacts (and maybe other contact managers).

Yes, everything is fine with org-contacts. The problem comes only from
org-collector. The reason is org-collector's feature to allow Lisp
expressions to process property values. Therefore it uses the function
`org-babel-read' that detects Lisp expressions and converts strings into
numbers.
So this remark is only relevant for those who want to follow my track with the
org-collector export.
