CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES & FEEDBACK
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO PARTNER WITH CRISTA GRASSO & THE LEAN OUT METHOD
"I own a design business and we were stuck. We knew that there was a lot of growth ahead of us but we were having trouble getting there.
If you want to save time, grow your team, build systems that work, and continue to work at a bigger level, that’s what you are going to get from her program and I can not recommend it enough.
Crista’s program is phenomenal and amazing for that. It has already saved us more than 10 hours a week, which is huge. That’s a day's worth of work so that I can focus on the things that I need to as the CEO of my company."
“We were ready to take our business to the next level and what we needed was a way to scale our business in a systematic way. Crista’s program enabled us to create a vision for a future and build prioritized action plans to achieve that vision.
What set the Lean Out Method apart from any other program was how we could directly apply the tools, techniques, and strategies in a no nonsense manner to focus on the systems that needed to be there for long-term sustained growth.
If you want to grow your business in a sustained systematic way, and not burn yourself out, we highly recommend Crista and Lean Out Method. We grew our revenue over 60% as a direct result of applying Lean Out Method to our business.”
"Since I hired Crista I have been able to dramatically improve my customer experience and refine my programs to be more aligned with my vision. And I've had 90% of my clients renew into my high-end coaching program for another year after making these changes with her.
Crista helped me build out my offer suite and strategically plan for my launch and it generated 10 times more revenue than it previously had in other launches. Crista to help me grow my team and implement simple systems that allow me to get my life back.
Not only am I able to remove myself from the day to day of the business and focus on doing the work I love but I'm able to work so much less and I've started traveling again and taking care of things that are important to me. I have more time to spend with the people I love, and I am enjoying my business and my life so much more since I hired Crista."
“I wanted to scale my coaching business but knew that it needed to be simplified first. I realized that I had been holding off on scaling because I believed that a bigger business would require more work and I was already at capacity.
Crista's Lean Out Method made it not only possible, but actually gave me a proven process for doing so.”
“Working with you was a game changer for me. You helped me see what the roadmap was and the things I could cut out. I now take Fridays off. I stop work at 5pm.
You have that amazing system that makes me focus each 90 days on the one thing. I realized how much I don’t need to be doing. I now do two things - I coach people one on one, or you can be in one of my group programs. That’s it – simple.
I also now have a team around me, so I can spend time in my zone of genius and not my zone of competence.”
“What Crista helped me do is take all the noise in my business and distill it down, figure out my priorities, and chart out a strategy that enables me to focus on what's important. When I am working with Crista, I feel like a weight has been lifted and I have a clear vision of where I need to go.
Crista is a strategist, an amazing entrepreneur with great experience that she brings, and she also shows her abundance because she gives me the behind-the-scenes of what she has done.
Crista is really able to lift entrepreneurs up and businesses up so they can grow. She is able to understand where a business is at and accelerate to scale faster.”
"I feel so much more grounded in my business after working with Crista. It's been a such a pleasure to work with her on mapping out my business and getting much clearer on my business goals. What's really special about working with her is that she can work with anything from the small details of tech integrations, to project planning, to just having the confidence to launch.
It's wonderful to have someone who can really find the sweet spot of what you're challenged with in your business and help you crawl out and make sense of it, and get more simplified and more clear on how you want to be working in your business. It's been a wonderful pleasure working with Crista and I highly recommend anyone work with her if you're considering working with someone who really knows what they're doing."
"If you are looking to expand the way you are doing your business, this has not only helped expand my business and the possibilities of the activities I could do to improve my business, I have a game plan moving forward of what I’m going to do in my business.
Things I kind of already knew I was going to do, but now I actually have the activities and the actual quarterly game plan that is there to help hold me accountable to achieving my goals, not only this year, but many years to come.
So, if you’re looking to level up you your business and simplify if – this is the key thing – creating more space in your life so you can take care of your mind body and soul, and have a plan to achieve your financial goals, I can’t recommend Crista more."
"As an entrepreneur and screenwriter, I’ve been doing this work for over a decade and it’s been so amazing just to have this space and time to sit down and learn how to optimize my business and lean it out. I had absolutely no idea how complicated I made my business, how I wasn’t using certain resources effectively, how much time I was spending on activities and things that really weren’t lending themselves well to my bottom line. I just feel like I’ve had so many light bulb moments, it’s absolutely floored me.
Now, not only am I walking away knowing that my business will be even more profitable, I know that I will be able to spend less time IN my business and more time ON my business, and even more important than that, I’ll be able to focus on activities that feel more pleasurable to me and really allow me to operate in my zone of genius. The Lean Out Method is mind blowing, it’s amazing."
"Crista's method has taught me that small focused goals lead to the big picture and the vision, and the reality is you accomplish more with less.
In the beginning of my journey with Crista, I would flounder, push out other ideas, create more work, more avenues, Crista reeled me in every time. We went back to her Method...and every time it brought me back to my short term goals that I would focus back on and accomplish.
I was tired of spending years having new ideas, goals then getting overwhelmed and not completing them or at least not to my liking.
Crista is honest, trusting, she listens, she guides with your vision in mind, backed by her expertise to know what the consumer wants, how to plan and market to them and do it in a way that is authentic to me and my business. Thank you Crista for being a coach that not only helps propel the business, but propels the person to ensure that wellness and self-care are part of the journey, so I can enjoy the journey, not lose vision and feel great about it along the way."
"My session with Crista was immensely helpful. I went into it with the specific goal of getting insight as to how I can scale my business, and while I did get that insight, I also got some other ideas for how to improve my business as a whole. Since the session I have had tons of brainwaves and have gotten crystal clear on what I need to be doing to get to where I want to go, which is something I’ve struggled with for ages. Thank you so much, Crista! I can’t even tell you how helpful working with you has been." - Nicole B.
"It has been an incredible experience, I have learned so much through the work we’ve done that has helped me go from having a lot of different ideas about my business to really narrowing it down and focusing, and really leaning out my business model. That level of focus that I now have is something I am so grateful for and it’s truly incredible."
“You know when you are looking at some kind of optical illusion, and it doesn't really make sense? You're starting to get frustrated and then you blink and you think, “Whoa, I suddenly get it! It was there the whole time, I just couldn't see it.”
That’s what it’s like when you get to be near Crista Grasso’s brain all the time. She is a revolution all the time. And I know that I'm speaking in hyperbole, but it's true. If you are a confused, overwhelmed, overburdened, possibly under-loved, and definitely underpaid entrepreneur, dang you need some Crista!”
"I am forever thankful for Crista.
Being a self proclaimed, high performing entrepreneur means that I have one too many ideas in my brain at all times … and want to try them all...immediately. Crista took the time to understand my dilemma wholeheartedly and worked with me to define the vision I wanted for not only my business but my life. Through her exercises and teaching, we came up with an actionable plan to get me to the business that not only serves my ambition but also serves my family.
Anyone who has the chance for Crista to speak knowledge, truth and strategy into their life & business will see invaluable results."
"Crista took all my business structures, ideas and dreams and streamlined them into a model. Aligned with actionable items, structure and a cohesive plan moving forward. Crista's unique method identified my strengths and core values to emphasize my business mission.
Crista's honesty, positivity, and questioning really helped me reassess how I move forward. Thank you for believing in my business, my mission and me.
I highly recommend Crista to get into your business head and give you a refreshing way of looking at your business. Move out of your own way and let Crista in - you won't regret it!"
"When I first spoke to Crista, I was struggling to properly price myself and was barely reaching 4 figures per month in revenue. We reviewed my offer and did a competitive analysis on what other businesses with a similar offer were charging. Once I saw how much more value I was able to bring to my clients, I immediately increased my pricing and stopped solely relying on referrals to grow my business. Fast forward less than 6 months and I'm bringing in 17 times more revenue than before, onboarding new clients every month, am on the path to making multiple 6 figures, and also hired to help me continue to scale even more.
Thanks to Crista's coaching, I’m working smarter, making more money, understand my value and worth in a way I had never known before and know that I will continue to scale leaps and bounds in the coming year."
"It has been a very unique and reflective experience for me because I get to be with one of my favorite business minds who is Crista and she is teaching me a method that gives me the space to sit down and figure out what my vision is and then take the time to dive deep and make my vision a reality through step by step 90 day plans.
It feels really empowering to take the time and know that everything is manageable, and that we don’t have to get stuck in the rut of working on our business every day and that it’s really important as business leaders to really take the time to work on the business.
If you want to level up your business, Crista Grasso is absolutely the woman you want to work with."
