USING A PEOPLE-FIRST APPROACH TO RESEARCH, IMPLEMENT, AND VISUALIZE YOUR NONPROFIT’S UNIQUE SYSTEMS, CONSIDER US YOUR ORG’S PERSONAL {SYSTEMS} ASSISTANT.

  • are you stuck on what systems will benefit your org? and how many systems are too many? one segment of our work will be to whip up a white paper to help you figure out just what tools are right for you.

  • at the core of work together, we’ll decide exactly how - and why - to build out your systems to meet your team’s needs.

  • understanding what you get from good systems is key to team adoption and motivation. (what’s a system worth if it isn’t used, right?) we’ll create expertly simple and manageable data visuals and summaries to make it clear that good data is worth viewing.

    WORKING WITH SANDY WAS AN ABSOLUTE GAME-CHANGER FOR OUR START-UP NON-PROFIT. HER DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH SALESFORCE AND THE NONPROFIT SECTOR ALLOWED HER TO CUSTOMIZE THE PLATFORM IN WAYS THAT TRULY FIT OUR UNIQUE NEEDS. SHE DIDN’T JUST IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS—SHE TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THEM, ENSURING WE UNDERSTOOD HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE SYSTEM’S CAPABILITIES. HER PATIENCE, CLARITY, AND ABILITY TO BREAK DOWN COMPLEX CONCEPTS MADE THE LEARNING PROCESS SEAMLESS. SHE WAS ALSO EXCELLENT AT TRANSLATING THINGS TO FOLKS WITH VARYING SALESFORCE KNOWLEDGE BASES. THANKS TO HER EXPERTISE AND GUIDANCE, WE NOW HAVE A MORE EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL TOOL TO DRIVE OUR MISSION FORWARD. I CAN’T RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY ENOUGH!
