Preguntas frecuentes
What is a personal CRM?
It is a place to keep the people you already know, rather than sales leads. Connections stores how you met someone, what you talked about, and who else you both know, so the relationship has a memory instead of living in your head.
How is this different from my phone's contacts app?
A contacts app stores a name and a number. Connections also keeps notes, your event and calendar history together, follow-up reminders, and the map of who connects you to whom.
Can I import the contacts I already have?
Yes. You can import contacts from a CSV or vCard file, and everything you import keeps its own history from then on.
How does it remind me to follow up?
Connections surfaces people you have not spoken to in a while, so you stay in touch before the relationship quietly goes cold rather than having to set a reminder yourself.
Can I search my network in plain English?
Yes. You can ask for people, places, conversations, or who needs follow-up, and search runs across the contacts, notes, and events you have saved.
Is Connections free?
Yes, and it needs no card. An email costs 1 credit a send, paid from your weekly credits; paid plans come with more.
