Creating Tag Rules for Company contacts
Most of our clients are B2B, which this present a problem with Marketing. When Marketing, you are sending to a person not a company. When you are B2B, users will put their categories and segmentation on a company. Like industry type = Manufacturing and not on a contact. So when wanting to send a email to a list of contacts, you trying search on company first. For User experience, It is easy to add one field on the company called industry which gets all the contacts of that company. And when sending a marketing campaign, you simple just look up the tags with little effect. This document will explain how you can use tags to solve this issue.
