You know things could work better.
You're just not sure
where to start.

Your business runs well. A few things could run better — and you probably already know which ones. Send me the problem. I'll come back with a plain-English plan: what I'd do, how long it takes, and what it costs. No charge for that part.

A few things worth knowing upfront

Calls and advice are free. You only pay when you approve work. No retainer required to pick my brain.

No long-term commitments. Some clients have one thing to fix. Others come back regularly. Both are fine.

Plain English, always. You'll understand what I'm doing and why. No black boxes.

You keep ownership. Everything I build is yours — documented, handed off, and not dependent on me to keep running.

Sound familiar?

You've built something real.
Parts of it haven't kept up.

Most established businesses have at least one thing — a process, a system, a spreadsheet — that works, but barely. You know it. You've been meaning to fix it. I help you actually fix it, without making it a bigger project than it needs to be.

I feel like we're leaving time on the table every day. I just don't know where to start fixing it.

Our data is all over the place. I can never get a straight answer out of it when I need one.

We're in Salesforce but I don't think we're really using it. Half the team doesn't even log in.

I know there's a better way to do this. I just don't have the time to figure out what it is.

Where are you starting from?

Most people come in
one of two ways.

I have a specific problem

"We've been doing this the same way for years. It works, but it takes longer than it should — and nobody ever has time to fix it."

You know what's broken. You just need someone who can actually fix it without turning it into a six-month project. That's exactly what I do.

I'm not sure where to start

"I know things are changing fast. I just don't know what we should actually be doing about it — and I can't expect my team to figure that out on top of everything else."

You don't have to show up with a clear problem. A call costs nothing, and most people leave with a clearer picture of where to start — even if they don't hire me.

Let's talk it through →

The goal is never to change how your business works or replace the people who make it run. It's to make their jobs — and yours — a little easier.

Salesforce · Custom Build

"We were maintaining a dashboard outside Salesforce just to see our own prospect history."

A client needed 10-year trend data across 12 datasets visible directly on their prospect records — something standard Salesforce reporting couldn't touch. Rather than expanding their BI stack, I built a custom Lightning component that lives natively on the prospect page. Historical data, clean layout, no tab-switching.

Completed in 4.5 hours. Replaced a recurring BI license and a Salesforce agency build that would have cost 2–3× as much.

Salesforce · AI + Data

"We knew our CRM was a mess. We just didn't have anyone to fix it."

Missing fields, bad formatting, duplicates — a 2,000+ record Salesforce database that nobody trusted. I exported the data, cleaned and re-populated it using AI and custom tooling, and re-uploaded a complete, accurate set of records. What would have taken a staff member 60–100 hours of manual work was done in a fraction of the time.

Clean data, immediately usable for audience segmentation and targeted outreach.

Salesforce AI Data Cleanup

AI · Internal Tools

"HR was spending half their day answering the same questions over and over."

Employees had nowhere consistent to turn for HR and operations questions — so they emailed, messaged, or walked over to ask. I built an AI agent inside Microsoft Copilot that pulls from existing company documents to answer questions instantly, without new software or extra training. Employees get answers. HR gets their time back.

The agent also flags gaps in the documentation — so HR knows what to update before the next person has to ask.

Automation · Data

"We needed to find the right partners — but that meant reviewing hundreds of websites by hand."

A client needed to evaluate 530 websites to identify the right partners for a key initiative. Manual research wasn't just slow — at the scale required, it wasn't financially viable. I built a custom web agent that scraped and compiled the relevant data from all 530 sites automatically, delivering a complete picture that simply wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Made a previously impossible research project achievable — at a fraction of what manual work would have cost.

A real person,
not an agency.

I grew up around a small business. I know what owners actually care about — their people, their clients, and the thing they've spent years building.

In my day job I serve as Director of Business Development Technology, where I work directly with both client-facing and internal teams to improve how they operate. I've spent years translating between the people who run a business and the tools that are supposed to help them — and figuring out what actually works versus what sounds good in a proposal.

ZeisWorks is how I bring that to small businesses directly.
