لماذا تثق بهذا الدليل؟

I moved my own contacts into Folk eleven months ago and have tested every feature since. This tutorial comes from daily use, not vendor screenshots.

Folk is one of the most approachable إدارة علاقات العملاء tools in the world of modern sales software.

But most people only scratch the surface of what the app can do.

A quick note before we start: folk music has nothing to do with this tool, despite the shared name.

This guide shows you how to use every major feature, step by step, with pro tips.

Folk exists for building real relationships at scale, not for logging admin stuff.

البدء في عالم الموسيقى الشعبية

Before touching any feature, finish this one-time setup.

It takes about three minutes.

Here is how the app looked when I first decided to switch:

والآن دعونا نستعرض كل خطوة.

الخطوة الأولى: إنشاء حسابك

Go to the Folk website and click Start Free Trial.

أدخل بريدك الإلكتروني الخاص بالعمل وقم بإنشاء كلمة مرور.

✓ نقطة تفتيش: تحقق من صندوق الوارد for the confirmation email.

Step 2: Connect Google or Outlook

Folk runs in the browser and as a desktop app.

Connect your Google or Microsoft account so email, calendar, and contacts sync automatically.

Here is what that connected workspace looks like:

✓ نقطة تفتيش: Past emails and meetings now appear on each contact record.

Step 3: Import Contacts and Set Custom Fields

Upload a CSV or pull contacts from Google, then add the custom fields your عمل الاحتياجات.

Two or three fields is plenty at the start.

كيفية استخدام مسار مبيعات Folk

مسار المبيعات lets you see every open deal on one board instead of guessing what moves next.

Most teams over-build this on day one. Start with the four stages you actually talk about in meetings, then add more once real deals expose the gaps.

إليك كيفية استخدامه خطوة بخطوة.

Step 1: Create your first pipeline

Open the Pipelines tab and click New Pipeline.

Name it after the deal type you sell, not the team that owns it.

Step 2: Set your stages

Rename the default stages to match the process you already run.

هذا ما يبدو عليه الأمر:

✓ نقطة تفتيش: Every stage shows a deal count and a running total.

Step 3: Add deals and set values

Drop contacts into the first stage and add deal size plus close date.

How to Use Folk Leads Tracker

تتبع العملاء المحتملين lets you follow every new lead from first touch to first reply without losing the thread.

Tagging by source is the part people skip. Without it you cannot tell which channel produced the deals you closed, and budget decisions turn into guesswork.

إليك كيفية استخدامه خطوة بخطوة.

Step 1: Import or capture your leads

Upload a CSV, connect a form, or capture leads with the folkX extension.

Folk deduplicates on email so repeat sign-ups never create clutter.

Step 2: Tag by source and intent

Add tags like webinar, referral, or cold list to each new record.

هذا ما يبدو عليه الأمر:

✓ نقطة تفتيش: Your leads view groups records by source with owners attached.

Step 3: Set the next action

Assign an owner and a due date so nothing sits untouched.

How to Use Folk Company Manager

إدارة الشركة lets you group every contact at a company under one record with shared history.

A company record is where scattered details become one story. When a champion leaves, the history stays with the account instead of walking out with them.

Step 1: Create the company record

Add the company name and domain, then let Folk enrich the rest.

How to Use Folk Client Manager

إدارة العملاء lets you keep post-sale clients from drifting once the deal closes.

Churn rarely announces itself. A client who has not been contacted in 90 days is the clearest مبكر warning signal any CRM can give you.

إليك كيفية استخدامه خطوة بخطوة.

Step 1: Move closed deals into a client group

Create a group called Active Clients and move won deals into it.

Step 2: Set a check-in cadence

Add a recurring reminder for monthly or quarterly calls.

Reminders show in your Folk notifications and your calendar.

هذا ما يبدو عليه الأمر:

✓ نقطة تفتيش: Each client shows a last-contacted date and a next scheduled touch.

Step 3: Log every interaction

Record calls, meetings, and emails against the client record.

Logged interactions preserve context that memory quietly loses.

كيفية استخدام قنوات التسويق عبر البريد الإلكتروني الشعبي

قنوات التسويق عبر البريد الإلكتروني lets you send a personalized outreach sequence at scale without sounding automated.

Templates only work when the variables are filled. Run a quick مراجعة for blank merge fields before launch, or a prospect gets an email addressed to nobody.

إليك كيفية استخدامه خطوة بخطوة.

Step 1: Build your sequence

Open Sequences and add your first email plus two follow ups.

Space steps three to four days apart for cold outreach.

Step 2: Add merge fields

Pull in first name, company, and any custom fields you have filled.

هذا ما يبدو عليه الأمر:

✓ نقطة تفتيش: Sent, opened, and replied counts update on the sequence dashboard.

Step 3: Launch and watch replies

Select a group, start the sequence, and let replies pause it automatically.

How to Use Folk Social Seller

البيع عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي lets you turn everyday social activity into tracked pipeline instead of scattered chats.

Social selling fails when it lives only in your head. Logging the thread means a teammate can pick up the conversation without asking you what happened.

إليك كيفية استخدامه خطوة بخطوة.

Step 2: Log conversations as you go

Add a note the moment a comment thread turns into real interest.

Step 1: Create a partners group

Group agencies, resellers, and advisors separately from customers.

Step 2: Record who introduced whom

Link each referred contact back to the partner who sent them.
