What is Nimble?

Nimble is a relationship-focused CRM for small teams and solopreneurs that brings contacts, calendars and email conversations from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace into one shared database. It adds lead capture, contact enrichment, pipelines, workflows and email marketing on top, so a small business can find, track and nurture relationships without a complex setup. Its positioning is a CRM for people beyond the sales department.

A key part of the product is Nimble Prospector, a browser and email extension that captures and enriches contact and company data from LinkedIn, websites and inboxes. Nimble keeps pricing simple with a single per-seat plan that includes its main features, plus optional add-ons for email marketing, data enrichment credits, web forms and bulk messaging volume.

How does Nimble work?

  1. Connect your workspace

    Sync Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 contacts, calendars and email so team interactions appear on shared records. Every teammate sees the same relationship history.

  2. Capture and enrich leads

    Use the Prospector extension on LinkedIn and websites, plus web forms, to add and enrich contacts. Enrichment fills in company and social details automatically.

  3. Organize relationships

    Tag contacts, add custom fields and use the Today Page to see tasks, reminders and follow-ups. Reminders make sure nobody forgets a follow-up.

  4. Manage deals and workflows

    Track opportunities in Kanban pipelines and move leads through customizable workflows. Lead qualification steps can be built into each workflow.

  5. Reach out at scale

    Send group messages and email sequences, then track opens and clicks to refine your outreach. Optional add-ons expand bulk sending volume.
