Folk is taking the CRM world by storm. It's fun to use, sales administrative tasks become playful now. I recommend trying even if you have a CRM at your company. You'll see initially they put people first in their product.

@tymekbielinski thank you so much for the words, this motivates us to keep pushing

Great positionning. Only real connections close large B2B deals. It takes time to build trust.

@pierre_armengaud this is the magic of @elisallera

Hi! What’s the difference between Folk 2.0 and 3.0?
Simo Lemhandez
@rodrigo_fernandez6 thank you for asking! When it comes to precise features: - 1-click waterfall enrichment - conversation templates on LinkedIn messages and Gmail - Custom objects (currently in beta) - Email sequences - Zapier/Make triggers function - Analytics (coming soon) more largely, it's about understanding we're the CRM for companies who care about people, and our job is to make our users better a building real relationships
Rodrigo Fernandez
@simolemhandez but those features were already part of Folk. Maybe the Zapier/Make trigger function is newish. I get the whole “CRM who cares about people” positioning, but I wonder how much of this launch is more of a marketing play. Adding a “3.0” version used to mean a major release of the product. Apologies for pushing back, just want to understand this because I’m a Folk user and I don’t get what’s all the fuzz on 3.0.

@rodrigo_fernandez6 Yes, it certainly appears that "3.0" is being used primarily as a marketing positioning (almost akin to a rebranding), at least for now. The changelog (as of this writing) shows nothing new, and it appears to show that the Zapier feature you mention arrived back in November: https://www.folk.app/changelog That being said, while I bristle at the apparent semantic stretching, I get the need for a marketing push/relaunch, and I wish the product lots of success. The personal CRM space is a key one, and Folk appears to have a strong product.

Hey @rodrigo_fernandez6 @karamar, appreciate the discernment! folk 2.0 launched in May 2023, so over a year ago, and all of the features Simo mentioned have launched (or relaunched with new partner providers) in the year since our previous Product Hunt. So yes, our messaging and positioning has evolved to reflect a deeper understanding of what our customer's really want. But it's also to encapsulate genuinely new features. Hope that helps clarify a bit.

Great work!! I'm a Folk user since a few months now, and the feature that we really need now is connected fields between a contact and its company. Automated. If we change the status of the company, the status of the contact will change. And we can decide of not using them of course if people do not need them! Continue with your work, we really appreciate what you do! :) Our account: Mayze.io

thank you a lot for the review. @steffi_nicolaides is the last part of this article helping you? https://help.folk.app/en/article...
Steffi Nicolaïdes
@simolemhandez thanks! but yes, I already know about views and how you can look at the status of a company through a person table but what we need is connecting this field to a person since we are automating through a person on zapier and need to update its company after.
Simo Lemhandez
@steffi_nicolaides noted! I perfectly understand your workflow and shared this feedback with the team. Be sure it's taken very seriously into account
Steffi Nicolaïdes
@simolemhandez thank you so much! I do not doubt your team will look into it!

@audrey_rpn Thank you ❤️
Cedric Charpenet
I've used a few mainstream CRMs in the past and no other CRM can manage so many different types of lists for different use cases as Folk. Also the fact you can extract profiles so easily from LinkedIn to tailor your outreach makes it super useful. And yes, I'm only using only a fraction of the capabilities and am still super happy!
Simo Lemhandez
@ccharp thank you so much Cedric. We wouldn't build folk this way without your invaluable feedbacks
Tim Raiter
Use product for 2 years and absolutely love it! Thank you!
