Why do people who meet a lot of people choose LifeLong over Nat?
LifeLong Network helps turn the new people you meet into relationships that pay off and deals that close. Each one is captured privately and recalled before you meet again. Say a few seconds about someone after you meet, and LifeLong builds a living profile, tells you who to follow up with, and predicts who you are likely to see at your next event. Nat is a personal CRM for consultants and relationship-driven professionals that analyzes your email, calendar and phone activity to resurface contacts you are losing touch with, with pre-meeting notes inside Gmail.

Nat is thoughtfully built for relationship-first consultants. Its closeness algorithm scores your contacts and surfaces the people you are drifting away from, and it lives inside Gmail with pre-meeting notes ready before each call.
