In today’s episode of the Science of Selling STEM, I had a chat with Jon Ferrara, the Founder, and CEO of Nimble, a social sales and marketing CRM company. He is a SaaS entrepreneur and CRM pioneer. He’s mostly known for founding one of the first CRMs, GoldMine, in the 1990s. In 2010, he re-imagined CRM by building Nimble. John’s core values are building products that help others achieve their passion, plan, and purpose, and what drives his success.
We will discuss how CRMs started and how to get usability and usage. Jon will then teach us how to sell and where to start with our selling. He will share how a big personal challenge he faced after selling GoldMine (His previous company) changed his life forever. And he will explain how Nimble is more than just another CRM solution. Enjoy!
