You could make an outlook/excel add in. Sales people live in those two apps. Without that you are battling to be that “second screen” as you mentioned and sales folks aren’t generally tech savvy enough to “go it alone” on your solution vs the status quo. Looks nice though good luck!

An Outlook/Excel add-in is a great idea. Something that lets you peek at CRM data related to a person/company, you mean?

We support syncing Outlook email/contacts into Okapi. Definitely agree that outside of tech, Microsoft's stack is predominant.

Oh this is a cool idea.

We've considered working on a chrome extension to help sales people pipe data into our product, but we haven't thought surfacing CRM data to salespeople in other apps.
