Working with Ashley and the Riipen team on the CRM and Database Optimization project was an incredibly enriching experience. Our team focused on identifying the attributes of a successful client and designing a scoring system to prioritize leads based on real conversion patterns. In parallel, we proposed a student feedback loop integrating post-project surveys and career fair engagement to capture long-term value and career impact. This dual strategy allowed us to approach CRM not just as a tool for sales efficiency, but as a framework for relationship building and institutional growth. Ashley’s support helped us stay aligned with Riipen’s mission while encouraging innovation. This project challenged us to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and design a solution that could scale with both purpose and impact.

This was a good, growth experience as it allowed me to strengthen my skills as a team lead, as a team member and as a communicator to our client, Ashley. Ashley gave a real view of what it is like to work with a client who presents a challenge with not much to go on at the start. This forced us to listen more intently and to ask questions to help us design a solution that met the pain points in an elegant and simple way. Thank you!
