We are brand new to Salesforce, having been on a legacy system for more than 30 years. After using Sleek for our successful implentation, we needed further help to get up and running. We are an independent boarding school with a very small tech team, none of whom are versed in Salesforce or in Apex. It was on us (there are only two of us!) to navigate our way and to be able to function. Sleek held our hands throughout the process…helping us to learn reports and the ins and outs of gift entry. We had weekly calls and tons of email exchanges. They know their stuff. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

Sleek Consulting has been our Salesforce implementation partner, and they have exceeded our expectations on every level of the project.

I would recommend Sleek Consulting to anyone considering adopting the Salesforce platform for their CRM. The Sleek Consulting Team is amazing. Their ability to assist us as a turnkey project has been remarkable. They are fantastic! We are extremely happy with Salesforce and with the wonderful customized implementation Sleek Consulting has provided to meet the unique needs of our medical school.
