CRM MVP Matt Wittemann has written a fantastic way of researching leads by allowing you to research them on LinkedIn.

The result is that you can open a Lead record and the iFrame will show you how many LinkedIn users work at the Lead’s company. You can click on them to open a new window to view all the connections, and, of course, you’ll get the most out of the widget if you have a LinkedIn account so you can reach out to these people in your sales process.

Have a great Christmas everyone.
