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 CRM 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.

Loading...

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

Halk Eğitimi

This complete How to Use Folk tutorial walks you through every feature, from first setup to the habits that turn a contact list into real pipeline.

Halk

Stop losing deals inside a messy contact list. Folk keeps clients, leads, and partners in a single place with enrichment, sequences, and LinkedIn capture built in. Free trial, no credit card needed.

Folk Müziğine Başlangıç

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

Yaklaşık üç dakika sürüyor.

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

Şimdi her adımı tek tek inceleyelim.

Adım 1: Hesabınızı Oluşturun

Go to the Folk website and click Start Free Trial.

İş e-posta adresinizi girin ve bir şifre oluşturun.

✓ Kontrol noktası: Kontrol edin gelen kutusu Onay e-postası için.

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:

✓ Kontrol noktası: 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 işletme ihtiyaçlar.

Two or three fields is plenty at the start.

Folk Satış Hattı Nasıl Kullanılır?

Satış Hattı 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.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

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.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: 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

Potansiyel Müşteri Takibi 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.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

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.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: 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

Şirket Yönetimi 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.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

Step 1: Create the company record

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

Built-in enrichment pulls headcount and industry without extra add-ons.

Step 2: Link the people

Attach every contact at that company so the group stays together.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: Opening the company shows all linked people and shared notes.

Step 3: Add account context

Note the buying committee, renewal date, and current blockers.

How to Use Folk Client Manager

Müşteri Yönetimi 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 erken warning signal any CRM can give you.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

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.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: 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.

Folk E-posta Hunileri Nasıl Kullanılır?

E-posta Hunileri lets you send a personalized outreach sequence at scale without sounding automated.

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

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

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.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: 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

Sosyal Satış 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.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

Adım 1: Sosyal medya hesaplarınızı bağlayın

Link LinkedIn and your email so touches log automatically.

Step 2: Log conversations as you go

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

The Folk sales asistan suggests a next step based on that context.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: Social contacts appear in your pipeline with conversation history.

Step 3: Convert warm chats to deals

Move engaged contacts into your pipeline with a source tag.

Folk Partnership Manager Nasıl Kullanılır?

Ortaklık Yöneticisi lets you track partners, referrals, and the introduction chain behind each deal.

A warm introduction closes faster than any cold sequence. Recording the chain lets you thank the right person and ask them again at the right point.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

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.

This is where a single source of truth pays for itself.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: Filtering by partner-sourced shows referred deals and their values.

Step 3: Track partner-sourced revenue

Tag those deals so you can report partner contribution monthly.

Folk LinkedIn Eklentisi Nasıl Kullanılır?

LinkedIn Extension lets you add a prospect’s LinkedIn profile to your CRM in a single click.

The extension also works on search results and company pages, so an entire target list can be captured in one sitting without touching a spreadsheet.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

Step 1: Install folkX from the Chrome store

Add the extension and sign in with your Folk account.

Step 2: Capture from any profile

Open a prospect’s LinkedIn page and click the folkX icon.

Name, role, and company import automatically into your chosen group.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: The new contact appears in Folk with the LinkedIn URL attached.

Step 3: Enrich before you save

Let Folk find the work email and fill missing details.

How to Use Folk Pipeline Manager

Boru Hattı Yönetimi lets you run weekly reviews on shared pipelines your whole team can see.

The beauty is that your calendar and pipeline stay integrated, so insights surface during the review itself. Tie it to a fixed meeting slot and the veri stays current.

İşte adım adım nasıl kullanılacağı.

Step 1: Share the pipeline with your team

Invite teammates and set role-based permissions per pipeline.

Step 2: Run a weekly review view

Sort by close date to see what lands this month.

Anything with a past close date needs a decision, not a nudge.

İşte bunun nasıl göründüğü:

✓ Kontrol noktası: Your forecast total matches the deals you would defend out loud.

Step 3: Archive dead deals honestly

Move stalled deals out so your forecast stays believable.
