What is monday.com, and why do teams use it for contacts?
monday.com is a work management platform with boards, views, and automation. Some teams track contacts there, but records are built for tasks and projects rather than deep relationship history or sales workflows.
What is the best alternative to monday.com for contact management?
For teams that need simple contact views, enrichment, shared pipelines, and built in outreach, folk CRM is the best alternative. It provides an easy, scalable workspace that replaces workaround boards with a true relationship hub.
Why switch from a project board to a CRM for contact management?
A CRM is designed to manage relationships from first touch to closed deal. You get enrichment, deduplication, reminders, activity timelines, and reporting so contacts move forward without constant manual updates.
How is folk CRM different from monday.com for managing contacts?
folk centers the experience on people and companies. It offers dedicated contact views, shared pipelines, activity timelines, tasks and reminders, team comments in context, and native outreach that turns updates into action.
Can I email contacts and run sequences directly in folk?
Yes. You can send personalized bulk emails and sequences, collaborate on drafts with teammates, and choose the sender without exporting CSV files or leaving your CRM.
