The Glenborn Corporation is using Airtable as a CRM to track the progress of candidates through each stage of multiple deals. Having an efficient and automated tracking system was crucial to supporting their personal commitment to producing the right results. Another area of importance was using industry and vertical tags (keywords) to effectively cross-reference client needs with candidate skillsets.
“Diane is a polished professional. She listened to our needs, interpreted them accurately and was creative in her approach on how to solve them. She is also great fun to work with.
Diane helped us do a few things. She helped us come up with a structure for some complex relationships between candidates and opportunities in our recruiting business that allows us to more effectively track and report on those opportunities. She also automated various tasks which have saved us untold hours.”

Since 1995, Priority Architectural Graphics has successfully planned, manufactured & installed thousands of branded, wayfinding and regulatory-required ADA signs for over 500 private and public-sector clients throughout the Bay Area. They needed a consolidated Airtable base to support project and task management for a team of 15.
“Diane has helped us develop a database that is scalable to our company as it grows. We had a vision to help develop an Airtable database that helped us understand capacity against business needs and it's turned into so much more.
Diane is an excellent listener and thus she is able to hear and synthesize what the long term needs are for an organization.”

"Diane provides very fast, clear, and concise help whenever I need it. She goes above and beyond by creating videos to show different ways of fixing your individual issue on Airtable. Every time I've needed assistance, Diane has been a pleasure to work with.
Diane helped me transfer an existing Airtable base and configure it to work along side multiple others within my company. She's also provided feedback on how to properly use different views and formats to enhance the efficiency of my specific bases that I use every day.“

Nicole’s marketing start-up was growing faster than their spreadsheets and current systems could keep up with. They were looking for a custom, collaborative platform to streamline their workflow and automate their systems to support their growing business and move away from spreadsheets. The seamless transition to Airtable was financially beneficial within the first few weeks of installation due to an automated event tracker alerting the team of their clients’ event status. The system can grow with the business and they now have easy access, in various formats, to the data they need.
“Diane has been the calm in our start-up storm! How anybody can learn all the ins and outs of a crazy business within a few meetings and then set up a system to meet all needs is amazing--but this is what Diane has done for our business. In the first month of using Airtable, we recouped half the cost of set-up because of a custom feature Diane made for us. We look forward to working with Diane in the future!”

Emily needed an Airtable database to track order production and seamlessly coordinate work shifts at her co-op. The design goal was to maximize the usage of resources for more timely turnaround on client orders. The system is designed so worker shifts are aligned with where orders are in the production process.
“Diane was fantastic! I tried to explain what we were looking for but she actually came up with the ways of thinking about it that helped shape the project. Diane understood how the software can help our co-operative flourish and grow.
She helped us create a worker scheduling system where workers can book their own shifts according to the equipment they are trained in and the work required for different orders. Now, we have a centralised, non-hierarchical method for workers to book shifts so that all of our equipment can be in use without pause or overlap. People and equipment can be working at full capacity.”

The Adventure Nannies team was looking for a solution within their existing Airtable base that would allow them to spend less time on “tech support” and more time doing the important work. Using Zapier to automate the processes for candidates to receive real-time responses to questions regarding their profiles, the overall candidate experience was improved, the team had a more efficient less time-intensive solution.
What did you enjoy about working with Diane?
Everything! Her warmness, attention to detail, quick response time, availability and flexibility with scheduling calls, and resourcefulness. She provides realistic expectations within her scope of work as well as when you discuss potential resolutions to any issues.
Diane assisted my organization with reorganizing and revamping our existing applicant pipeline and database within Airtable as well as create and implement new steps in our candidate process. It has helped us form more standard and efficient practices within our work and our relationship with our candidates has benefitted from giving them more information.

Austen is using Airtable to store oil and gas well information. He needed an automated system for tracking the profitability of wells to make informed (and more timely) decisions about which leases to renew and which to cancel, to increase his revenues.
“Diane is AWESOME!! I knew the basics (maybe not even basics) to Airtable when I first called Diane. I had an idea of what I wanted to do with Airtable and she made my idea a reality. It was extremely nice to be able to pick up the phone and call her whenever I had a new idea or if something was not working correctly. She would even send a video of her screen with step by step instructions on how to do something. I really can't say enough good things about Diane and my experience working with her on my Airtable base.”

“ATOU was using three separate spreadsheets, managed by three different staff members, to manage the process of scheduling school workshops and coordinating the volunteers and staff who would attend them. We had received quotes for custom software solutions that ranged from $5-10,000, and would have taken many weeks to build and then thousands more per year to maintain and support.
In the end, the combination of Airtable and Diane provided us with a much more affordable and viable solution that was developed and implemented within 2-3 weeks. And was an order of magnitude more cost effective. Diane was an absolute joy to work with! She actually managed to make it a fun process and importantly, one that fully engaged the staff in the development process which significantly reduced any resistance to change.
We ended up with a tool that is cloud-based, meaning everyone can access it, from any platform, wherever they might be and know that the data they are working with is current, relevant and accurate. It affords us a shared, centralized solution that is easy to work with and one that we know will grow with our needs.
We would recommend Airtable to anyone. Moreover, we would highly recommend having a professional like Diane be your guide on the journey of transition. Diane has that rare combination of advanced people skills and yet she is also technologically competent!”

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Diane and seeing firsthand how she can take an idea from the dreamer stage (where I seem to live) and put it into action. Her skill of using Airtable systems, procedures and automation in conjunction with kindness, humility and a positive disposition helps to create a winning culture in a team. She's also expertly skilled in handling the challenges of a small business start-up with a remote team. I can't recommend Diane more strongly. I just wish I had the opportunity to work with her still!"
