Slate CRM Experience & Intelligence Sprint

Turn Slate CRM into a self-service experience with real insights and targeted communications — in 6–8 weeks.

I help institutions using Slate build portals, dashboards, and communication logic that reduce manual work, improve visibility, and increase adoption.

This engagement is:

  • Slate-specific
  • Practitioner-led
  • Fixed-scope and time-boxed
  • Designed for adoption and usability

This engagement is not:

  • A full Slate implementation
  • Ongoing CRM administration
  • Vendor support replacement

I solve problems like these:

  • Applicants and high school partners don’t know where they stand
  • Internal teams rely on manual reports or spreadsheets
  • Communications are broad, repetitive, and poorly targeted
  • CRM capabilities are underused or inconsistently implemented

Slate CRM has powerful functionality, but many institutions struggle with adoption, visibility, and efficient communications. This Sprint helps teams unlock Slate’s potential while reducing manual work and improving engagement — fast.
