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 points of contact for a single company in one place. This feature is helpful for managing communication and tracking activities across different contacts within a 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. All communication history and notes will automatically transfer to the new record, ensuring seamless management of contact information.

 

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 conversations and activities collectively. If a sales representative switches companies, unlinking them from the old company and linking them to the new one ensures that their history and notes stay intact and follow them to the new business.

 

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 as individuals move between companies while preserving their full communication history.
  • Improved Organization: Streamline contact relationships across businesses, reducing the risk of data confusion or loss.
