About Richard:

I’ve been involved in the CRM industry for the past 16 years and I have to say it’s been quite a ride. I meet Jon Ferrara, founder of GoldMine Software, back in 1996 whilst the Technical Director at AVG (the then UK distributor of GoldMine). This was the early days of CRM so in those days we called it SFA, something that I still believe needs to be at the center of any CRM system today. Back then GoldMine was the market leader, innovating the work place and winning award after award. It was a real buzz being at the forefront of something that pioneered and established CRM and changed the way we do business today.

Your business is getting Nimbler – An update from our CEO

Dec 5, 2011 | By Charlene

As we approach the one-year anniversary of releasing our Nimble beta, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting our company.

I am humbled that more than 15,000 users have signed up over the last nine months with thousands spending almost four hours a day managing their social relationships and growing their businesses with Nimble.

I knew it was going to be an enormous challenge when we set out to create a new paradigm for CRM in 2010. We wanted to enable businesses to manage Relationships & Social Engagement in a simple and elegant way.

I am excited to tell you that we are weeks away from being “core vision complete” and will be releasing a major new version of Nimble in January 2012 that we are testing with select users today.

As you know, Nimble has been free during our testing phase. We wanted to wait until Nimble was something worth paying for…something truely helpful in growing a business.
