Before Cinode, Sarah was buried in daily administrative tasks, leaving her feeling reactive instead of proactive in managing her team.
Sarah often struggled to identify who had the right skills for specific projects, making it difficult to allocate resources efficiently.
Sales and delivery information were disconnected, making it hard for Sarah to know who was available and what services could be sold, resulting in missed opportunities.
Crafting customized CVs for clients took up too much of Sarah’s time, making the process slow and inefficient.
