Real relationships are messy. Your referral partner sits on three boards; your favourite consultant works with two of your customers. SalesCollab Pulse treats a contact as one person with many company affiliations — primary, secondary, each with its own title — so your data stops splintering into duplicates.
Zoho, HubSpot and Pipedrive force one contact = one company. The workaround is duplicating the contact, which splits activity history, breaks reporting, and lets silenced contacts leak back into outbound campaigns under a different company. Pulse is built on a join table instead.
Link one contact to any number of companies — consulting, board seats, referral partners, group holdings.
Set one primary affiliation for reporting and email routing; the rest sit as secondary with their own title.
Change a contact's primary company directly from either company they belong to — no digging into settings.
Field-by-field merge review, plus a 'same person, multiple companies' flow that links instead of collapses.
Silence a contact once and they're suppressed everywhere — every company, every automation.
All calls, meetings and emails live on one contact record — even when they wore three different hats.
No hard limit — link a contact to as many companies as reality demands. Only one can be marked primary.
Pulse flags matching mobile numbers and emails, and ignores shared office switchboards — so two colleagues on the same landline stay as separate contacts.
Yes. Import contacts and companies as CSV; Pulse rebuilds the affiliation graph and lets you set the primary from either side.
Give your referral partners and consultants the CRM record they deserve — one person, many companies.
