Possible Solution for those who can’t wait for HubSpot to add this feature:
My company uses a reference system at the backend, so the way we have associated contacts with companies is like so:
- Contact has a unique reference
- Business has a unique reference
- Add “Company References” as a multi-line text field to the contact properties.
- Insert each business reference on its own line in that property (we place the most recent one at the top).
- Then either don’t associate the contact with any of the businesses (could avoid any future confusion) or choose a business that you would like to indicate is the most important for the contact and associate that with the contact.
I hope this helps you all with your unique circumstances or at least instills some ideas for your own purposes.
