Associate multiple companies to a contact

Is there any way of associating multiple companies to 1 contact with just 1 email address?

Hi @katefrommbc,

This is now possible! The feature is in early access and you can opt-in for early access to the new associations, more details in this knowledgebase article:

Associate multiple companies with a contact, deal, or ticket and use association labels

Hope this helps! If it does, you can make it easier for others to find this information by accepting my post as a solution.

Have a great day!

Hi @katefrommbc 

Welcome to the Community! I'd recommend following the idea here as our team will provide more information about the status there. 

Happy Friday

Any updates on this??? This is a must for so many scenarios. For some reason hubspot's engeneers did not think that an individual can have two jobs, or... owwn multiple companies???

Hello @arthurhalevy, as @Josh  mentioned in his solution, the idea is currently being planned here 

Upvoting the idea will alert our Product Team to the popularity of this request. Doing so will also auto-notify you if/when this functionality becomes available within HubSpot. You may read more about how that review process works here.

Kindly,

Pam

Hi @katefrommbc,

At this time you can only associate 1 company record with an individual contact.  

You can associate multiple contacts with a company, but not the other way around. You'll have to have the contact live separately with a different email address.

Thanks. Do you know if there are any plans to add this feature?

I think it should be an important update that Hubspot should do. Because in realife, a single deal and a single person related to multiple companies. In a complicated B2B deal, there are many companies involving. Recently, a single deal can be associted with multiple contacts but with just one company.

Yes, I agree.

From my chat with Yushu (just my side):

I'm trying to add different organisations that are connected to one person. How do I do that?

A person is the most essential part of the connection with a company. Whilst a company will be the buyer of a product or service, if the main purchasing person leaves, you have to start again...

In ensuring that each person can be connected with multiple organisations/companies we get to track them and see who they know and from where over the course of their existence.

Insightly have a much better system where you can track who knows whom across multiple organisations...

For myself, I am connected with at least 6 different organisations. If you can't add those to my contact in Hubspot, you've just lost a HUGE amount of insights about who I know and why.

************************************

In just my first few days using Hubspot I see this as the major flaw in the CRM. Can we please not forget that it is PEOPLE who run and work in companies and organisations. Companies do not exist without PEOPLE. PEOPLE are the secret sauce, not the companies.
