Gist helps you build stronger professional relationships by leveraging the contacts, connections, and content in your email inbox, your social networks, and across the web to provide you meaningful insight about your most important contacts and their companies in less time with less effort..

As business professionals, relationships define our day – be it those we have in place or those we want to create. Our professional networks are one of our most valuable assets but getting the most out of them requires a significant investment of time and effort.

Gist provides a different way to use personal communications to provide a prioritized view of what is most important to you and the people with whom you communicate - your professional network. Achieving this "information edge" helps find new opportunities and provides access to people by focusing the time you spend gathering information and preparing for the next meeting, call, or other interaction. The service automatically aggregates and prioritizes information about contacts and their companies delivering actionable insights in less time.

Gist works with Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, and Salesforce.com improving the information available in these applications by constantly seeking out and updating individual and company profiles with the latest from social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn as well as Twitter, over 20 million blogs, and over 50,000 news sources. Additionally, an iPhone application is available providing on the go access to this information in the palm of your hand.

Gist is for people who need to build and strengthen relationships – anyone who is market-facing and lives and dies by their ability to gather, disseminate, and act on large amounts of information.
