I didn&#8217;t really care for it. I chose Nimble because it integrated smoothly with everything I already use, MailChimp, Gmail, and 365, so it was something I was already familiar with.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b><i>Lucas M., Retail<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8dvxpdM2X2w?si=Iog2EC-rKpZNxDRN\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey provide fantastic webinars and training to help develop your sales skills which is fab, their support is superb and it really is a fab product for the price.

I have saved so much time moving to Nimble and away from my previous system of Google Sheets. The tasks and reminders are crucial to keep track of who I need to follow up with as I sometimes send hundreds of emails a week, and the customization of things like pipelines and lead info to fit my business has been crucial for the organization.
