How to Link or Unlink a Contact from a Business Record
You can link an individual contact to a business record, enabling you to view multiple contact points for a single company in one place. This feature is useful for managing communication and tracking activities across multiple contacts within the same business.
If a contact leaves one company and joins another, you can easily 'unlink' the contact from the current business and 're-link' them to the new business. Their communication history and notes will automatically transfer to the new record, ensuring smooth and efficient contact management.
Use case:
If you're working with multiple sales representatives from the same company, linking their contact details to the company record allows you to track all conversations and activities in one place. If a sales representative moves to a different company, you can simply unlink them from the previous company and link them to the new one. This ensures their communication history and notes remain intact and are seamlessly transferred to their new business record.
How this helps you:
- Consolidated Communication: Easily track conversations and activities across multiple contacts within a business, providing a comprehensive view of interactions in one place.
- Seamless Contact Management: Effortlessly manage contact records when employees change companies, ensuring their complete communication history is preserved and seamlessly transferred.
- Improved Organization: Streamline contact relationships across businesses, minimizing the chances of data confusion or loss.
