            • Accounts
              Use accounts to store information about customers or individuals you do business with. There are two types of accounts. Business accounts store information about companies. Person accounts store information about individual people.
            • Contacts
              Use contacts to store information about the people you do business with. Contacts are most often associated with an account, but can also be associated with other records such as opportunities. Contacts are even more useful when you enable Contacts to Multiple Accounts, add hierarchy information, and customize sharing settings.
