Andi Asay
Business Owner & Consultant
In college, Andi discovered a passion for sales and business, alongside a fascination with all the moving parts (people, processes, software) which drive both. Andi worked in sales for a number of years until deciding to leverage her knowledge and work ethic into becoming a top tier CRM developer & consultant, with an eye toward one day starting her own consultancy. Which, of course, she did. Andi is the proud owner and founder of Z1 Consultants
Genesis Schaerrer
Developer
Genesis is an avid self-learner. With an eye toward one day working in tech, she taught herself how to use digital marketing software and completed a coding bootcamp, among other things. Genesis was introduced to CRM development through an apprenticeship with The Workflow Academy, where she still works today. Currently, Genesis is a top-tier developer who can tackle any project that is put in her path.
Greg Belnap
Developer & Consultant
Greg was our first student ever at The Workflow Academy. Like many students after him, he was new to CRM development, but innate smarts and drive culminated into an ability to learn new things. Coming out of his training with The Workflow Academy, Greg was able to pick up an entry level role with a Zoho partner, working as a developer. Within 6 months, Greg became a senior developer. 6 months after that, he was promoted to director of Zoho development, overseeing a team of developers. Greg provides an excellent illustration of why employers value a learner with lots of growth potential and dont need someone who is an expert from day 1.
Walker Clements
System Planner & Student Mentor
Coming out of college, Walker experienced a great deal of frustration with his job search. While very capable, the absence of a portfolio and relevant work experience left him struggling to stand out in a heavily saturated job market in Spring of 2020. Walker discovered CRM development and immediately took to it. He spent 3 months learning to be a developer and system planner, building a portfolio of work that communicated his strengths effectively. He was hired at The Workflow Academy, shortly after. Today, Walker still works at The Workflow Academy as a system planner, developer, and student mentor. Walker is an excellent resource for anyone looking to chat about general career development and where training in the field of Revenue Operations can take you.

Andrew Gritten
Developer
Andrew started out working at One Call Concepts, where he learned SQL and pivot tables through YouTube. After college, he worked in the insurance industry but then moved to an ethanol plant where he developed his technical writing skills. While working full-time, Andrew enrolled in a 600-hour software developer bootcamp with Bottega to improve his coding and CSS skills. However, he found that he couldn’t bridge the gap between his skills and employer needs. With the RevOps programme, Andrew was able to enhance his developer skills and now successfully works as a developer with Zenatta Consulting.
Darla Schmalzried
CRM Administrator</h3
Before working in CRM administration, Darla worked as a county attorney’s assistant, an oil and gas landwoman, and part owner of an oil equipment company. She decided to get into digital marketing by taking a remote digital marketing program offered by Kansas State University. Darla didn’t quit her day job during her training, but she applied what she learned to the oil equipment company she co-owned on the side. Darla eventually landed her job as a CRM administrator through an apprenticeship program she found through the Workflow Academy. She now works for Summit Venture Studio, a venture capital investment company. Her role involves helping the company’s portfolio companies set up their CRM software, establish their revenue operations, and track their deal flow.
McKay Taylor
Project Manager & Aspiring Business System Designer
McKay Taylor started his career in manufacturing engineering and worked for a company that produced beverage bottles. However, the long hours and lack of work-life balance didn’t suit his needs, and he decided to look for a change. After talking to various people in his network and going through a course in The Workflow Academy, he discovered his interest in CRM and revenue operations. McKay built a system for his real estate side business using Zoho and shared his experience with employers during the interview process, landing him a brand-new job within the year, making a successful career transition.
Jonathan Wilson
Zoho Creator Specialist / Software Developer
Jonathan Wilson works with Trailguide Digital as a developer and Deluge specialist, but his low-code journey started in the early days of The Workflow Academy! One of our original alumni, Jonathan’s first forays into development started with his background in learning full-fledged coding in languages such as Ruby and Python. Through his network of fellow coders, Jonathan learned more about low-code environments and soon became enraptured with their versatility. Upon completion of his time with The Workflow Academy, Jonathan was immediately hired to do development with Trailguide, and found his new role more enriching than the traditional developer role as he was able to strengthen his skills in management and business. Learning Zoho has helped Jonathan not only expand his professional skills, but contributed to his personal development in becoming a better communicator and manager.

"While I put in a lot of work on my own, I still would not have gotten to this point if it wasn't for your program and connections, as well as assistance. I am finally getting off Social Security Disability, as well as having moved out of government assisted housing. I am 200% more self-sufficient than I was before"
"My day-to-day now is work from home, which is awesome... After I've done whatever early morning activities I need to do, I jump on my computer, look at my emails, look at my tasks for the day, and then essentially I just write [code]."
"I was able to learn CRM development and architecture while working nights at another job. I was hired within 3 months. The Workflow Academy's Go-at-Your-Own-Pace coursework structure enabled me to learn new skills without packing my schedule."
