Provide a company history for contact records

[MattPutt]

Our contacts can often have long-lasting relationships, that means we frequently take our business with a contact when they change companies.

It would be good to see a record (almost like a CV/LinkedIn listing) of previously associated companies.

Is there a way to update the association history?  So, for example, update that a lead worked for a company in the past that was a customer without changing their current company?

Hi @MattPutt,

It's been a while but this is now possible. If you always update the currently associated company correctly, you can see the history of associations by clicking Actions > View association history:

You can make it easier for others to find this information by accepting this post as a solution. I'd appreciate it.

Have a great day!

Hi Matt,

Have you looked at creating a custom contact property, calling it "Previous companies" for example, and populating the data in there? If there was multiple pieces of information needed, you could go as far as to create a series of properties under one group?
