When you pitch an idea or just send an email with a certain proposal to a specific investor, the hardest part of your day is waiting him or her to reply.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I tend to lose my nerve in those situations. I start to think things like: “Did he read it? If he did, why isn’t he replying? What’s taking so long? Maybe he hated my idea? Maybe he feels that it isn’t even necessary to send me any form of feedback? Maybe I caught him at a wrong time? Maybe he’s just busy? Should I resend it again later on today, or further down the week at a different time?”<\/p>\n

I know this seems a bit much, but if you really care about what you\u2019re selling and what a certain person thinks about your work, you’re familiar with this level of concern.<\/p>\n

Imagine if you could know these things? Imagine if you could know if a certain party has read your email or what\u2019s the most convenient time to contact someone? When they\u2019re usually free to fully commit their attention to your email?<\/p>\n

Well, you can. There’s an app for that and it’s called Sidekick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"sidekick-brand\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For quite some time now, I\u2019ve been looking for a way to track and analyze the behavior of recipients to my emails. I want to know who, where, when and how many times has read my content, so that I could figure out the best possible approach strategy.<\/p>\n

If a certain person is mostly reading your emails on their phone, that means that you\u2019re probably trying to communicate with him at a wrong time, when he is on the go.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want that. You want your reader\u2019s full attention. You want him to sit down and really focus on your words.<\/p>\n

This is where Sidekick comes in. With its real-time notification system, Sidekick automatically notifies you when someone opens or clicks on your email.<\/p>\n

How Hubspot’s Sidekick Works Its Magic<\/h2>\n

When it detects a certain activity, Sidekick sends you a detailed report, telling you not just who opened or clicked on your emails, but exactly when, from which location, on what kind of device (mobile or desktop) and how many times.<\/p>\n

This precise and highly detail oriented notification lets you understand if the person is away from their desk, forwarding the email, or even traveling.<\/p>\n

Built on the remains of what was formerly known as Signal, the guys at HubSpot recycled their previous app\u2019s flawless email tracking system and upgraded with it all new cool features.<\/p>\n

Focusing on a grander need to enrich your email productivity, Sidekick gives you the ability to see powerful information about your contacts directly inside your inbox.<\/p>\n

With its \u201cPowerful Profiles\u201d, this app lets you see your contact\u2019s personal history, where they are currently residing, which contacts you share and \u00a0much more.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it. We are all constantly trying to get in touch with someone. In order to do that, we\u2019re always looking for someone who knows that certain person who has something that we need.<\/p>\n

With Sidekick\u2019s Powerful Profiles you can easily analyze your target and find out who\u2019s your best link to him or her.<\/p>\n

Write Now – Send Later<\/h2>\n

Sidekick also offers a great scheduling feature that allows you to send emails in the future. Why slave away in front of your computer in order to catch that perfect time when to engage your target, when you can just set up a time and date, and move on to other daily activities?<\/p>\n

This app also has a variety of different reminders to keep you from forgetting all sorts of important things. My head is a midfield. I\u2019m constantly being bombarded with tons and tons of various information.<\/p>\n

Although I do my best not to forget or miss important deadlines, I don\u2019t want to give anything to chance, so I live on a constant alarm routine.<\/p>\n

In spite of the fact that\u00a0this powerful tool gives you a peak under the skirt of people who are reading your emails, you should know that Sidekick could be also used against you.<\/p>\n

So, the next time you say, \u201cI didn’t see that email\u201d, you should probably think twice.<\/p>\n

Get this app, it really does what\u2019s supposed to do. I can\u2019t recommend it enough.<\/p>\n
