Use Gmail? This add-on is ESSENTIAL...

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Revolution

In the world of social media abundance, it's easy to get overwhelmed.

Rapportive Screen Shot

You follow 4,000 people.
You have 2,000 friends.
You have 12,000 fans.
You have 600 connections.

How can you manage to keep track of all of them??

 

There is a new FREE plug in for all of us GMAIL users. All those people I just mentioned from above, you get emails from some of them, right? Wouldn't it be nice to get a blast of current info about them each time you get an email? What did they tweet? What do they like today? All at a GLANCE and without any work on your part. 

Problem solved.

Enter RAPPORTIVE (www.rapportive.com) as a great FREE solution!

The best way I use this is to help build my LinkedIn sphere of influence. When I get an email from an agent or new client, I can immediately ask to join their networks. Since we have emailed to each other, we are past the first line of defense for these social network programs.

Friending, following, and connecting is a CLICK away!

Try it out and watch your sphere grow! And if you'd like to participate in my new Facebook Fan page experiment, please take a moment and LIKE my page by clicking here... and see what I'm up to. I'd sure appreciate it!

(Oh, and why am I using Gmail?... that's another blog post!....  Yes, I have a remax address which forwards to it... ha ha!)

Hi Jay, am curious how it differs from Xobni?  I love Xobni and have it both on my PC (outlook) and Gmail now.  I'll check this out too.  Thanks for sharing

It's very similar to Xobni, but for Gmail. Same idea, but for us Gmail users!

I have been using rapportive for a few months and really like it. When a prospect send me an email, I check out their various social media sites to see what their interest are. Helps build the bond faster.
