In the world of information overload, tools should make it easy for you to manage contacts and get all the information in one place. When you are looking for information on a business contact, you usually have to use a plethora of tools to get more information and connect with them. Last week I saw a demo for a new widget that Nimble - a CRM company is releasing today- that you can install on your Chrome Browser.
When you see a name anywhere on your browser the new Nimble widget allows you to right click and search for that person and enables you to take action by communicating with contacts, Â add task, and follow-ups directly within the widget itself.
Here are 5 reasons why Nimble will be useful to your small business :
- Setting an engagement calendar. You can choose a contact and specify how often you would like to be in  touch with them - weekly, once a month, annually.
- Add new people into your Nimble Contact list from a simple search through your browser
- Using Nimble to consolidate all your connections from different networks and having a simple and neat inbox
- Tag and manage your contacts for easy retrieval
- Manage your networks in one place and schedule or set tasks for each connection
I tried the new Nimble widget  with a search for Ramon Ray and at once Nimble’s engine told me that Ramon matches my keyword for contacts and offered to mark this contact as important. I also scheduled a follow-up with Ramon weekly and wrote a note about the connection and if I wanted to I could create a task or setup a deal.
My recommendation is to try Nimble and the inclusion of this new widget has made your business contacts much easier to manage and grow.
