Tracking, viewing and managing contacts through a sales funnel is pretty challenging. Most people start using their email inbox to try and keep track of it all. Pretty quickly you get overwhelmed and want to switch to a CRM.

That's where Nimble's social CRM solution comes in. Nimble lets you easily manage all your contacts, communications, activities and sales in one single place plus it comes with a great view of your contacts social activity on sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Sometimes importing contacts into a CRM or creating follow up tasks for new contacts can be a hassle. That's where the Nimble integration with Zapier comes in. With Nimble and Zapier you can easily:
