Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a process guy.
I've spent 16 years in digital marketing and production and built with AI every day since November 2022. Now AI agents do the CRM work, and I make sure every change is right.

CRMs, run by agents
AI agents clean up and run the CRM. I decide what to build and check every change.
Most CRMs fail because nobody runs them.
For years I watched businesses buy a CRM, import a spreadsheet and stop there. A few months later the pipeline was full of dead deals and the team was back to texting each other about leads.
A full-time CRM admin was never in a small business budget. AI agents changed that. They can do the admin work fast. What they still need is someone who understands how a small business sells and checks every change. That's me.
What you can expect.
Backups first
Your data gets exported before anything gets merged or moved.
Tested before live
No workflow texts or emails a customer until it's been tested.
Your accounts
The CRM, the data and every workflow stay in your name.
Straight answers
If your CRM can't do something, I'll tell you instead of building a workaround that breaks.
Want the rest of your marketing handled too?
Modern Marketing STL runs the whole marketing list: blogs, ads, social and more, at the same flat rate. If you'd rather learn to do it yourself, I teach that too.
