Free Tools and Inexpensive Tools – One of the powerful GMail Add ons- Rapportive.  Rapportive gives you information about people you send email to or receive email from.  It automatically looks up Social Media sites based on the email address you are working with.  Using this information you can personalize your emails and have a better understanding of the people you interact with.

This is a continuation of a short series where I’ll introduce you to some of the best tools I’ve found in several years of searching.  We are not looking at the expensive tools here but instead will focus on tools that are VERY useful and cost less than $100 – one time.  BTW – the tools must be POWER tools to make the list…

Rapportive – A Free Enhancement to GMail

Today email inboxes are filled to the brim and the question of “Who sent this?” or “What do I know about this person?” or “How can I personalize this email, I hardly know this person?” come  up regularly.  (At least they SHOULD!).   Rapportive (available for free at http://Rapportive.com) is an add on to Gmail that helps with these problem.  (Note:  It works with FireFox, Safari and Chrome.).   Once Rapportive is installed, when you open an email (either to send it or read it), Rapportive goes out to see if the email address was used to create accounts on Social Media sites like Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn and many more.  If it can find a Google Profile or a Gravatar account it will show you a picture of the person and give you clickable links to their Social Media pages.  You can quickly learn a lot about the person by exploring these sites.  Since it is automatic, it is very painless and the information can make a real difference in the quality of your interaction.

In this two-minute  video I’ll tell you more.
