")](https://www.hubspot.com/products/sales)Sidekick* by HubSpot is a powerful new e-mailing and prospecting tool. *Sidekick* delivers information about your e-mail contacts directly into your inbox and web browser when searching for information about a prospect company.  [*Sidekick*, the new and improved HubSpot Signals tool](http://www.getsidekick.com/), was revealed this year at [#INBOUND14](http://www.inbound.com/). *Sidekick *can dramatically improve your salesforce’s effectiveness, productivity, and overall inbound selling efforts by presenting an entirely new way to research and understand potential clients. For sales professionals, *Sidekick *helps to further personalize e-mails, better understand prospects, and even discover relevant information about prospects just by viewing their website.    **Here are the top 4 benefits of using *Sidekick* to enhance your inbound selling:**  ** 1) *Schedule Your E-mails To Send Later: ***How many times have you put together an e-mail but then realized that it’s too late (or even too early) to send it?  With *Sidekick*, you can schedule your e-mails for any day and any time, so your e-mail will automatically send precisely when you want. You can also set a reminder for yourself to send multiple e-mails at a time.  Set a time, set a date, and schedule your e-mail.  **2) *Tracking Email Opens & Clicks: ***Every time you e-mail someone with *Sidekick*, you track the e-mail and links they click within that e-mail. With the option to both see who has opened your e-mails, and what they have clicked on, you can formulate a more effective follow-up communication. Receiving these live notifications allows you to know exactly when, the number of times, the location, and the type of device the receiver used to view your e-mail. You are also able to access information showing which contact is on your website, in real time. This feature is crucial for salespeople because they are able to see if a prospect is viewing certain pages, and can call them immediately to follow up.  For example, if you have a pricing page, and you notice that one of your prospects is on that page, it would be a great time to follow up with a call!  **3)* View Contact Information In Your Inbox:* **This tool provides you with prospect information that can be incredibly useful when drafting your next email. Having the facts such as your contact’s professional history, shared contacts, your shared e-mail history, and their locations, gives you the ability to construct more effective e-mails and calls to help bring that prospect further through the sales and marketing funnel. **4)* Collect Company Details* *In Your Browser (If you’re using Chrome): ***It’s important to understand your prospects and their company. Using *Sidekick*, you can access information about a company such as headquarter information, when the company was founded, how many connections you may have at the company, the local time (very convenient!) and even related companies, which is a great sales prospecting feature.  So the next time you are calling someone, let *Sidekick* give you all of the information you need before making that call. [*Sidekick* is the ideal tool for inbound sales professionals](https://www.prismglobalmarketing.com/blog/inbound-selling-with-hubspot-crm-sidekick), giving you the benefits of knowing how effective your e-mails are, who is reading them, and in some cases, who is not reading them, too (equally as important!). E-mailing others and prospecting is a daily activity, and Sidekick helps you make the most of your time, so you can focus on inbound selling.  So, why wouldn’t you use a tool that allows you to work smarter, and perfect the e-mails you’re sending? **Discover more about Sidekick and how to start using the new inbound selling prospecting tool. ** [![Download Sidekick today!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/270157/2d4b7908-8975-4cce-99cb-ac445c4cb483.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/270157/2d4b7908-8975-4cce-99cb-ac445c4cb483)   #### Listen to the Blog Post Topics: [Inbound Sales](https://www.prismglobalmarketing.com/blog/topic/inbound-sales) ![Elyse Flynn Meyer](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/7d00c9647601a236790ad80c8f499c34) #### Posted by [Elyse Flynn Meyer](https://www.prismglobalmarketing.com/blog/author/elyse-flynn-meyer) Elyse Flynn Meyer is the Owner and Founder of Prism Global Marketing Solutions, an inbound marketing agency and HubSpot Platinum Partner based in Phoenix, Arizona.
