Understand Existing Relationships Between Your Customers
Related Contacts2 is a feature that has been highly requested by you…and it is finally
here! With Related Contacts, you can relate contacts to one another and then define
the nature of that relationship, plus enter any additional details about the relationship.
For instance, you can define influential relationships between two contacts that may
work with different companies, but are business partners. So next time you speak with
Contact A, you can mention how well your recent meeting or sale went with Contact B.
