What folk is
folk is a lightweight CRM built for relationship-driven businesses — agencies, consultancies, and founders who sell through their network. It pulls contacts from email, LinkedIn, and social channels, enriches them automatically, and runs simple pipelines and email sequences without admin overhead. Think of it as the CRM for people who hate CRMs but live on warm intros.
Key features
- 1-click contact capture from LinkedIn, Gmail, and X via extension
- Automatic contact enrichment and deduplication
- Pipelines for deals, partnerships, hiring, or fundraising
- Email sequences and mail-merge campaigns (Premium+)
- Shared workspace views so the whole team sees relationship history
- Zapier, Make, and API access for automation

The offer
A 'network-to-pipeline' system for agencies and consultants: import their scattered contacts from LinkedIn and Gmail into folk, segment by relationship type, and set up follow-up sequences that revive dormant relationships into deals.
What to charge
$1,000–$2,000 setup including data cleanup, plus an optional $300–$500/mo for running monthly re-engagement campaigns.
How it gets delivered
Use the Chrome extension to bulk-import LinkedIn connections, dedupe and tag in folk, build 2–3 pipelines, then write the first batch of sequence copy. A 2–3 day project end to end.
This is one offer. AI Operator Academy is where operators build the full stack — packaging, pricing, fulfillment, and a peer group selling the same services. $999/yr.
