Contact Management 2020

Our Contacts typically tend to move around in the same industry, so odds are, when they leave one Company they'll show up later in another Account we service - which is why we'd like to retain any associated history. 

Over time, as users began to edit Contacts, rather than sending the info to admin, many fields were left untouched (which made them still "mailable," visible, etc), so I'm looking to make this more efficient (because all teams use Sugar for all things, Contacts have to be editable - not sure a Role can fix this one).

QUESTION: could this work?

If all Users had to do was replace the Account name with one established for this sole purpose i.e.<Contacts Moved Co.> (versus being orphaned or left on the account), this could all easy filtering to either clean up records or searching for a contact before creating.  Is there a better method? What is the considered best practice for removing or disassociating a Contact no longer at a Company, but whose information is worthy of keeping? 

Is this true?  

once removed from the Account, any linked records the Contact had remain at the Account level and Contact level until manually unlinked from both, record x record, no matter the Contact's Account name?

  • To manage the history and data of resigned people, we usually use the following approach.

    We add the special (technical) account Unknown Company and move all resigned contacts o this account. It happens when contact marked as "Resigned" or manually. The special process automatically clears all nonactual personal data (corporate email but not private, work phones, work address, status, etc.) when a contact links with the "Unknown Company."

    Contact stays there until we know a new place of work. As soon as we knew, we move the contact to a new company with a detailed history and fulfill new personal data.

    Besides, we save the history of the movement from company to company as essential events in the TimeLine Events that are related to contact and appropriate accounts. The set of contact important events covers many aspects of relationship history, not only changes places of work.

    It helps new assigned to develop relationships find in our company someone, who can help quickly to refresh relationships with this person.

    This the main idea. Usually, this approach is tailored to the particular needs of a specific company.
