How do you move contacts from folk into SalesCrew?

folk exports contacts and companies to CSV, and SalesCrew's import accepts that format, so the move is an export, a re-import, and a field-mapping pass. folk's Magic fields, AI-generated data pulled from a contact's public profile, would need to be re-created manually or left behind, since they're specific to folk's own AI layer.

What does SalesCrew add for cold outbound?

Suppression enforced when an audience is frozen, multi-step cadences, a sender pool with per-mailbox daily caps, and a unified inbox. Every AI-proposed send waits in one approval queue. It all runs in the client's own database, with unlimited seats on every tier.

How does SalesCrew's approval queue work?

Every agent ships in review mode. Any external send waits in one queue grouped by agent, showing the draft, the evidence, a confidence score and the cost. A person approves, edits or rejects it. One kill switch stops every agent at once.

How to choose

If the pipeline is genuinely simple, a small team tracking relationships and following up without a structured cold-outbound program behind it, folk's speed to set up and its native mobile app fit that job.

SalesCrew's case is for a different shape of work: a team running structured cold outbound where suppression has to be enforced at the moment an audience is frozen, not checked by hand, and where an AI agent drafting a follow-up needs to wait in a queue before it sends anything. At outbound volume, an AI action nobody reviewed is costly, and the queue prevents it. Seats are unlimited, so the whole team works in one place without a per-member bill.

The SalesCrew 14-day trial includes outbound features, with agents in review mode. A card is required to start it, and it can be cancelled any time before it ends.
