Associate one contact to multiple companies

Think business consultant or sales broker - We'd like to be able to have one contact associated with multiple companies in Sales CRM.

Yes I absolutely need this as well (working with Doctors who work in Private Practices and Hospitals). When will this be available?

Hi

@jeffvincent 

Any update on this topic?

 

My problem is the probably the same than lots of colleagues here:

  • A customer (= 1 company) has multiple locations. The product I sell is location-specific.
  • For now, my idea is to create a child company per location (not ideal, but I have no other ideas for now).
  • Sometimes, I have a contact dedicated to a single location (thus, in my case, to a single child company).
  • Sometimes (let's say: more often), I have the same contact that deals with multiple locations (thus, to multiple child companies).

 

So, 1 contact associated with multiple companies would really help (1 contact with multiple related companies could be enough for me).

+1000 for this. 

@jeffvincent any updates please? 

 

olivierm absolutely nailed the scenario we need to handle in our business. We're a SaaS platform selling a solution to hospitality businesses such as cafes and restaurants which are almost equally split between 1:1 and 1:many type structures when it concerns contact:company relationships.  

 

We really need this.

Ping @jeffvincent & @jsg121 

 

We are on the way implementing Hubspot and a signal on where this is heading would be very appreciated

@jeffvincent another +1 for @OliverM's description of the challenges here.

 

It's been 4 years now with an open ticket that's critical to staying organized as a business across virtually all industries. 

 

Can you provide at least an update on timeline? Without a window into the rollout we're likely to move over to Salesforce. 

 

Thanks

Along with all the others awaiting this feature; We need the ability to associate 1 contact with multiple companies.  I assume this feature will carry over to child companies as well? 

 

Please keep us updated.

Hi all, really appreciate the enthusiasm around this functionality. We can't wait to deliver it.

 

We are still actively working on supporting multiple companies on a contact - not just within the CRM, but across all parts of the HubSpot platform. Once we are in public beta, I will send out opt-in information.

 

Thanks for your patience - this stuff may seem straightforward, but being good stewards of your data comes first for us. Nothing is worth more than your trust. Updates to come as soon as possible.

Hi @jeffvincent
Great news!
Is this feature likely to be delivered in Q1.21, Q2.21 or later this year?
All the best,

Yes! I can't wait for this. We've been needing this feature. When can we expect beta release?

Hi @jeffvincent,

 

Thanks for the update, however just saying "wait" doesn't tell us anything new.   You said basically the same thing in October -  which is a long time between drinks.

Can you at least tell us which YEAR this feature is planned release?

 

Thanks,

 

Claude.

Replying to be notified when this goes live. Have a couple of clients who run into this and I'm running out of workaround ideas 😉

Hi @Bob2245 

 

I am about to start thinking about workaround ideas. So if you have one or 2 to share, it would be great!

 

Kind regards

We are also at the workaround stage given this limitation. I'd appreciate updates and invites to the Beta when ready please.

Thank you for the update @jeffvincent !

 

I'm sure the process of developing and rolling out these updates is complex, but as some other users for mentioned, any sort of more specific timeline would be appreciated. If it isn't an official date, then perhaps a run down of the expected timeline? For example, private beta requires a minium of X number of weeks, after which a public beta is required to run for X number of weeks, etc. That could at least give us a window as to when we could expect the update to go live. I need to report back to my stakeholders on this feature and "it's coming soon" isn't really boosting their confidence.  

 

Thank you!

Definitely need to be able to associate with multiple companies, especially for certain industries where a JV is common. 

 

Going through the child parent relationship is a bit confusing and ads an unwanted layer of abstraction.
