“If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur or a sales and marketing professional who relies on personalized email follow up and you’d like to track engagement, then Hubspot’s Sidekick was the way to go. (But things have changed)”

So, What Happened to GetSideKick.com?
Back in 2017, I was getting ready to put together an email campaign and use Hubspot’s Sidekick Chrome extension. And I started watching videos on YouTube which dated back to 2015 that referred to getsidekick.com. Welp, that didn’t help. There was no information in those videos that helped me understand what happened to the Sidekick extension.
And so, I performed another Google search literally asking, “What happened to Getsidekick Chrome extension?”
What I discovered from my search and findings is what I share about in the video below.
What’s Sidekick and What Do You Need it For?
If you’re not familiar with sidekick and what it’s for, here’s a brief summary in anecdotal form.
Have you ever sent an email to a colleague or client, followed up with a call or asked the recipient of the email point blank – “Hey, did you get my email?” And they responded, “No”?
And despite their answer, you suspected they probably did receive the email, but they didn’t want to tell you that they received it because that would make them accountable to your message’s contents?
For those of us who’ve been in those situations, the image above shows the look most would give face to face or from the desk or while in the meeting (see picture)…
But how could you prove they checked your email and ignored you without sounding accusational or paranoid?
That’s kinda what Sidekick can help you with.
