CRM & customer systems

How to approach CRM setup, structure, and documentation so your customer data actually works for you.

Automation & workflows

What friction looks like at a systems level, and what cleaner, more automated operations feel like.

Integration

How your tools, platforms, and workflows connect — or don't — and what that costs you every day.

Operational capacity

Recognizing when you're over-building for your current capacity, and designing for what the business can sustain.

Practical tech decisions

About Talk Techie to ME

What is Talk Techie to ME? ⌄

Talk Techie to ME is Madelyn Estes's business technology brand — practical education and expert guidance on AI, CRM, systems, automation, and the decisions behind them. It's a Chic Geek Enterprises experience.

Who is the "ME"? ⌄

ME is Madelyn Estes — technology strategist, systems architect, and founder of Chic Geek Enterprises, with more than two decades of experience connecting business strategy and technology.

Who is this for? ⌄

Founders, operators, and small team leaders using tools, systems, automations, platforms, and digital workflows — which is most businesses today. You don't need to run a tech business, and you don't need to be technical.

Where should I start — Tuesdays or a Clarity Call? ⌄

If you want to learn concepts alongside other founders, request a seat at the next free Tuesday session. If you have a specific situation or decision in front of you, book a $247 Clarity Call. You can do either — or both — in any order.

Talk Techie 2 Me Tuesdays

Is Talk Techie 2 Me Tuesdays really free? ⌄

Yes. The monthly session is free to attend when space is available. Seats are intentionally limited to protect the quality of the experience.

Is this a sales pitch? ⌄

Will there be a recording or replay? ⌄

If a replay is made available, it will be shared with registered attendees. Each session is designed to be complete without requiring follow-up homework.
