Entities (fka Profiles) in a few words - A very simple explanation: All places, people and things that....

[Eric Feron]

A few weeks ago, Eric Le Martret shared with you a detailed review of Profiles (now called Entities) with a view to demystify:

Profiles (Entities) : Why you need them and how to set them up.

Now, on the occasion of the renaming of Profiles to Entities, Scott Ferguson, Director of Outbound Product Management, takes another look at the concept and boils it all down to a few words and some very practical examples.

"All people, places and things that....."

9 minutes well spent to master Entities once and for all.
