Need a better way to build genuine relationships ?
Hello, we’re Forge.
Built for busy professionals, by busy professionals.
“Go and build 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 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 stay on top of my network like I needed to. And this is where the idea of Forge was born.
Forge is the only people-centered calendar that helps busy professionals actively manage and strengthen their networks. Try Forge today and let it help you build the trust-based relationships you need to achieve your goals.

Why Forge?
“I want my clients to feel like I don’t work with anybody else, and Forge gives me ways to connect on a deeper level with them. I find communication is so easy, but now thanks to Forge I’m listening a little bit deeper than I was... this app means a lot to me because it is who I am, and it’s easy to work with something when it works well with me.”
-Stacy H., Realtor
“When my predecessor retired after 37 years with the company I picked up a bunch of accounts that required a ton of introductions. Each company I’m dealing with has numerous offices and key players scattered across the country. Keeping this information straight while noting “personal touch” type details is incredibly difficult. Forge fits that need and will be helpful far beyond sales."
- Geoff C., Senior Sales Manager
“I find the real problem sales associates struggle with when trying to achieve their goals or increase sales is remembering it’s not only about who they know, but also about who they’re forgetting. Forge flawlessly ensures no client slips through the cracks."
- Jessica W., Fortune 500 sales leader
