I recently started reading Referral of a lifetime. In the book it advised that we catagorize our contacts into group a,b,c, and d. Is there a way to add a custom field that would allow me to do this?

Hi @HuskyLogic

You can certianly create custom properties to contain your categorization. See more info here: [Create custom properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/contacts/how-can-i-create-a-custom-property)

Hope this helps.
