Notion is the (product) love story of my life
Hi, I’m Sanja Veletanlic* and this is my Notion love story!
*Don’t worry about the pronunciation (even Croats can’t pronounce it 🙂).
It all started in 2019 when I was assigned to build a Notion company wiki for a growing startup.
My initial reaction was: “Why do we need Notion on top of other tools (Google Workspace, Asana, Confluence, Jira, you name it!)?”
However, as I built and managed new projects in Notion, the pros outweighed the cons:
- Wasted way less time digging up scattered information.
- Got clear insights into the company’s workflow.
- There were fewer communication issues.
- Got more focused on my tasks and creative in developing new projects.
- Overall collaboration between departments improved, reducing silos.
- Got clarity of business goals that led to better results.
This new way of working helped me enjoy my work, collaborate better with colleagues, and become the Notion expert I am today. Now, I teach other solopreneurs and companies (technical startups, marketing agencies, business consultants, etc.) how to fall in love with Notion!
To stay current with Notion’s changes and provide high-quality service, I became a certified Notion consultant and partner. Notion launches new features almost every week, and it's my job to keep you updated so you don’t miss something important.
Project completed: "Notion for a small company”
“Sanja did an excellent job: I hired here to help with building a project management system in Notion that I had been struggling with for a while already. I was very impressed about her communication skills & empathy. I was equally impressed how up-to-date and complete her knowledge of Notion seemed to be. In the end, she greatly helped to build a system that we've now been using for about half a year, and that works really, really well.”
Jeroen Strompf, Director, De Vliegende Brigade
Helping others set up Notion customized to their business needs and continuously receiving amazing feedback keeps me motivated to continue learning.
