Hello, we’re Forge.
Built for busy sales people, by busy sales people.
“Go and build client relationships!” my boss told me. I was in my first sales role and I didn’t have a clue how to do it.
The client relationships other salespeople leveraged to win took years if not decades to develop. Success looked unachievable from my junior position.
But eventually the penny dropped. I realized that relationship building is actually all about building trust. I didn't win unless others did. It really was that simple.
The more I dug into it, the more I realized that building trust is just a matter of doing just a few things consistently well. Those few behaviors proved to others that I genuinely cared what happened to them and that I'd always do my best to help them.
With this new understanding, I set out to build trust-based relationships with everyone I met, which in turn led to introductions to new people. My client relationships and network got stronger, and my career took off.
As I got busier and busier, I soon enough realized that I needed more help. I knew what to do, but I didn't have the memory, bandwidth, or frankly discipline to serve my client relationships and network like I needed to. And this is where the idea of Forge was born.
Forge is the only people-focused CRM co-pilot that helps busy sales people start and grow genuine client relationships. Try Forge today and let it help you build the trust-based relationships you need to achieve your goals.
