• MailChimpNothing beats the measurement and attribution capabilities for multiple lists for the price. Your startup more than likely doesn’t overkill nurturing capabilities that expensive solutions have. Use third-party integrations with SalesForce to associate email campaigns with lifecycle and behavior groups of your users/customers.
• RapportiveKnow everything about a potential partner from a pane in Gmail. Instant connectivity to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Crunchbase with contacts is awesome for quick update on partners, customers and prospects. It also makes Gmail a must-have email solution for your business – can you imagine going back to Outlook, Zimbra, or some other client?
• YeswareDid anyone actually read your email? When? Yesware provides updates you when a sent email has been opened. Not only is Yesware addictive, it helps you to understand strategically which emails deliver a true ‘reply’ and plan follow ups more effectively. And it too integrates with SalesForce.
