How do I filter contacts by account parameters?

How do I filter contacts by account parameters?

Need to filter a contact view according to account parameter, eg account type.

Without this filter users are overwhelmed with irrelevant contacts.

Workaround is to create a custom 'Contact Type' field but this unbearable duplicity as the information already exist in the account record

In mass update I can select contacts by account parameters, must have this ablity in 'views'

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure. Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One such

                                                          Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.
