For example:
1. A master user has set a Record Type as a the default in the Records Type Administrator
2. Right click Record Type Rules > Edit
3. Under Rule Definitions and if the option selected is "Field value-based" verify that "Record type for new company/contact" is set to:
- "Use a default record type when creating new records"
