Think of it as an email identification tool like Voila Norbert, but built into your CRM. Whether you’re in your inbox, on a Facebook page, using LinkedIn or even on a website, you can just hover over a contact or company name and the Prospector App will automatically provide as much information as it can find about them. This is an extension that plugs into Chrome, Safari or Firefox (it’s also available as a mobile app, for both Android and iOS). One of the most useful things about Nimble is its ‘Prospector’ App. We respect your privacy, and you can unsubscribe any time. Sticking on the subject of contacts, lets take a look at something that’s possibly Nimble’s USP: it’s smart ‘Prospector’ app. This does give you a reasonably good ‘social view’ of your contacts.Īnd Nimble will still help you identify the social profiles of your contacts (when you add a contact, it scans the web to see if it can find a social media profile match) and then use the social data which is publicly available on the web to provide you – where it can – with potentially useful biographies on your leads and clients. On the plus side, you can still integrate Twitter nicely into proceedings and you can import data from LinkedIn via a CSV file. So whereas you used to be able to link your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts directly with Nimble, access all your contacts from these platforms and message them from within the Nimble interface…you can’t any more. However, for privacy and possibly competitive reasons, Facebook and LinkedIn stopped sharing data with third party applications - significantly reducing the ‘social’ features of Nimble in the process. I could also view a history of any social interactions on any of these platforms that I’d had with them. I could pull up a contact and, assuming I was connected to them on Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook, could see a whole host of information about them in one spot - recent Facebook status updates, LinkedIn biographies, latest tweets etc. Now, when I first started using Nimble, this functionality was great. When it first launched, a strong selling point of Nimble was the way it allowed you to view the social media information associated with your contacts without having to leave your CRM tool.
