Earlier this year I discovered and wrote about Xobni - an add on tool for Microsoft Outlook.  I started using the free version (yes it's free).  But it didn't take me long to realize how powerful this little tool was so I decided to go ahead and purchase.  I think it cost about $30 dollars.  This little program started to make ME look good in no time.

If you're like us - we get emails from so many different sources.  We know that getting back with inquiries as quickly as possible is so important in today's business environment. 

We all have some creative file systems in outlook (mine keeps growing) where we file and tuck emails but with Xobni all the information about that person comes in with the email! 

With Xobni - it's all right there, contact info, stats, actions, file attachments, even who's in their network.  You'll see all their previous correspondence too.  Instantly you'll know more about them as their LinkedIn and FaceBook pages pop up with photos and links that can help you find out more with just a click... 

NOW with the new version even their Twitter feed updates are pulled in.

So if you've already been using it be sure to download the newest version of Xobni, and if you haven't started, do yourself a favor and  check it out!
