We tried the “related companies” beta - it doesn’t truly address the issue of business consultants, accountants, advisors etc. who should be listed as a contact on each company for which they “work.”
Also, associating a contact with a related company doesn’t have any concrete functionality … cannot run lists, they don’t appear as contacts when viewing the company record … not a good feature.
There are many other examples where this is a significant problem … founders, franchisees, board members … needs to be addressed quickly as it’s causing issues for our database!
