Organizations

Relate lets you build all your communication history for each organization you work with in one place.

The Organizations feature collects your Deals, Email history, Notes, etc. and displays them in one view.

Get to know Relate’s structure

  • Organization = Companies you are selling to. They can be both prospects and customers

  • Person = People that work for the companies you’re selling to.

  • Deal = Sales opportunity

People and Deal are both part of an Organization. A Person can exist without being part of an Organization, but Deal cannot exist without an Organization.
