Gist.com – great new business development tool

I signed up for a great new service, yesterday. It is called Gist.com. Think of Gist as being a mini and free SalesForce.com. It doesn’t have a lot of the features that Salesforce has. But, for a free product, you can’t beat it.

Essentially, Gist takes contacts from your different social media accounts like Twitter, Linkedin, Salesforce, Facebook and imports them into Gist.com. Then, it takes your gmail contacts and you outlook contacts and imports those.

From there, it gives you quality information and news aggregated about those contacts and the companies that they work for. I think this is a valuable business development tool because it enables you to manage all of your free contacts and quickly have access to information on those people and the companies that they work for. For the price (free), you can’t beat it.
