Nimble Integrates Dropbox

Nimble Inc. announced its integration with the file-sharing
application Dropbox, enabling
users of both platforms to attach files from their Dropbox accounts
to Nimble’s contact records and deals.

The integration emphasizes the ability
to unify all communications and documents related to a contact in one
place for viewing.

"This is a much-requested,
customer-driven improvement to our popular platform," said
Jon Ferrara, founder and CEO, Nimble. "And no wonder – our
users already understand the ease, safety, and convenience of
Dropbox. This integration makes it a snap for Nimble users to
associate files with any contact record or deal through a trusted and
familiar source, so that the team has a complete view of important
data connected with that contact."

Rather than sending documents via
email, users bring content from Dropbox into projects and workflows
in the company’s web app. Files are attached to any Nimble contact
record or deal as part of the tab-based Nimble workflow, ensuring
business context, and enabling collaborative communication within
teams. The attached documents are then available to account users and
include a timestamp and user name.

"The new integration makes it
possible for teams to have a complete view of important data
connected with each of their contacts, so as a sale progresses, team
members can quickly see what documentation has already been sent to
the contact," Ferrara added. "This provides all
parties – the prospect, customer and teammates – with the full
picture of the conversation, which helps increase efficiency,
organization and productivity."

The company is focused on building
relationships with prospects and customers. It surfaces potential
sales opportunities through a detailed view of each contact,
including their social streams and networks. Product features help
users target leads, import contacts, engage, and set up ways to
foster long-term connections. Communication with prospects and
customers – at the right time and with the relevant information – is
at the heart of success in the social selling model.

"Dropbox for Business users
want all of their stuff at their fingertips all the time, which is
why we’re excited when companies like Nimble integrate Dropbox into
their service," said Dan Levine, who manages platform
partnerships at Dropbox. "By seamlessly bringing the power
and content of Dropbox into Nimble, users now have an invaluable
resource for their CRM needs."

The Apps
Marketplace hosts hundreds of third-party tools, empowering users
with capture and analytics, email marketing support, and more. The
Dropbox integration, available as a core product feature (free
to all users), is a step toward providing businesses with ways
to close the social marketing and sales loop.
