By Tibor Shanto. Some people hide from prospecting in their pipelines; pretending the opportunities, individually or collectively, are more real than they are. It is easier to hide in the shadows than be definitive, both in measures and actions. With a 4:1 closing average, every time I close a deal, I must get four more to stay afloat. The more salespeople fudge that line, the harder they to work.

I had a chat with a gentleman recently who wanted to use Nimble CRM to monitor a contact’s social activity. There was a time when we could do that, but only to a limited extent, on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We can still do that, in some fashion, on Twitter. Facebook and LinkedIn would be another story. Time flies but I guess that it was about 5 years ago that Facebook and LinkedIn both decided to cut off third-party access to their platforms.
