I also implemented and trained service staff and support members on the use CRM / Salesforce and Issues Management platforms in the 1st 90 days, and formulated workflows to manage delivery and compliance of services.Performance Metrics – I developed performance metrics to validate the value-add of services, which helped nonprofits to focus on delivering their mission while depending our team to manage the “back office” operations of our “client” organizations. These same metrics were used by public funders to determine their level of financial commitment for our services and those of our nonprofit clients. Sector Recognition – Our successes and validations earned us sector recognition and became the model by which other similar nonprofit service providers were designed and managed across Florida.
