Business success is about more than just business - it's about creating a true rich fulfilled life where you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. 

Our RFL framework helps you build an entire ecosystem for sustainable success, looking holistically across your business and your life so you can scale your business without having to give up your personal life to do so.

This is input to your next level vision and the work you'll do over the remaining modules and beyond.

Strategic planning is the backbone of consistently and effectively achieving your goals and revenue targets in your business, but most planning systems are far too complex, time intensive, and restrictive for a dynamic small business.

The Lean Strategic Planning System is a lightweight, adaptive, and highly effective way to connect strategy to execution so you can achieve your big bold vision and goals without overworking. It includes:

• Reimagining Your Next Level Vision

• Connecting Vision to Execution for Accelerated Results

• Implementing a PM System for Clarity, Focus & Visibility

• Meaningful Team-Based Planning Meetings

You need a rockstar team in order to have true time freedom and a sustainable and scalable business model.  There is an art and science to building high performing and self led teams who are just as passionate about your business and vision as you are.

The Lean Dream Team System helps you expand and uplevel your team so you can delegate with confidence and trust in your team. Plus we share some proprietary approaches to building your team that helps you choose the right people at the right time. It includes:

• Building Out Your Lean Dream Team

• Hiring, Interviewing, and Onboarding 

• Highly Effective Communication Cadences

• Stepping into Visionary Leadership

• Developing High Performing and Self Led Teams

Systems are critical to scaling your business and removing yourself from the day-to-day of the business, but having your team document SOPs isn’t what’s going to give you true time freedom and autonomy in your business.  We’ll show you the most impactful systems you can create to capture how you deliver value and generate profit. 

Implementing a business operating system is foundational to developing a scalable business that can run itself without everything being dependent on you, but you don't want one that is painful to implement or overly complex.

We created the Lean Business Operating System (LBOS) with the unique needs of a small business in mind. It includes:

• Defining Your Strategic Systems for Scale

• Making Systems Simple and Sexy

• The 100-80-20 Systems Framework

• Building a Company Playbook Your Team Will Actually Use

Your business needs a steady flow of qualified leads, a way to convert them, and a way to close consistently.  It sounds simple, and it can be, but simple does not mean easy and finding the right conversion engine for your business can feel overwhelming. 

What content should you produce on what channels? Should you have a sales call or should people buy directly? Should you do a webinar, workshop, challenge, or event to attract leads? Should you do paid ads or keep things organic, or both?  Should your "launch" be live or evergreen and what should it include? What emails should you send when? 

We’ll show you how to simplify, systematize, and accelerate what's already working well in your marketing and sales system and close the gaps with what isn't. We'll also show you how to optimize what you're already doing because small changes and optimizations can create a massive shift in results. It includes:

• Standing Out to Consistently Attract High Quality Leads

• Shortening the Buying Cycle

• Simplifying Your Content Marketing

• Defining a Marketing and Launch Roadmap

The simplest way to scale is with a customer-journey-aligned offer suite that is a blend of simple, streamlined, and irresistible. The Scalable Offer Suite System helps you fill the gaps in your offer suite and optimize the packaging, pricing, and positioning of your offers considering where you want to differentiate in the market. It ensures a highly effective conversion event, whether launching live, evergreen, or hybrid. It includes:

• Elevating Your Offer Suite

• Optimizing Your Conversion Events

• Defining & Upleveling Your Signature Framework

• Choosing Compelling Upsells and Cross-Sells

The most successful businesses are customer-centric and provide exceptional value and results at every step along the customer journey.

The Luxe Client Experience System shows you how to create transformational results and an exceptional experience for your clients, helping you increase your impact, stand out from your competitors, and turn clients into your biggest advocates who grow your business for you. It includes:

• Client Onboarding Experience

• Upleveling Your Client Referral System

• Compelling Reviews and Testimonials

• Making Effortless Upsells and Cross-Sells

Businesses that thrive focus on continuous improvement and make data driven decisions.  We set you up to be able to maintain the systems you created, conduct regular reviews and retrospectives so you can continuously make the small changes that will have a big impact on your rate of success, and implement the KPIs, metrics, and dashboards that matter so you have access to the quantitative and qualitative data you need to make key business decisions quickly. 

Once you have confidence everyone's working on the right things at the right time and you have the systems in place to support repeat results, we give you tools and techniques that will 10X you and your team's productivity so you are multiplying your time.  You will get the most important things finished faster instead of just being busy enabling you to accelerate scaling. 

We don't just provide training on what you need to do, we show you how to do so and give you a massive jumpstart with high-value implementation toolkits that include bite-sized trainings, checklists, worksheets, and adaptable tools, templates, SOPs, and more to simplify and accelerate implementation of each strategy.

This will cut months or even years off of your scaling timeline plus increase the value of your business.

You will meet with Crista every other week for a CEO Q&A and Strategic Advisory call where you can get any question answered and also receive a mini training or case study designed to amplify your results.

Crista will be leading 3 value-packed live trainings on marketing, conversions, and your elevated offer suite. You won't want to miss these sessions designed to accelerate your revenue results.

When a group of committed trail blazers, dream chasers and magic makers come together to support one another, anything is possible. You get access to an exclusive private community for support and to ask questions and share wins between sessions - there's no need to go it alone or get stuck along the way when you have a community of high achieving business owners and the Lean Out Method team to support you. 

The 1st 10 people who join will get a private 50-minute strategy session with Crista to deep dive into your biggest business question, challenge, or opportunity when it comes to simplifying, systematizing, or scaling your business. You set the agenda based on what's most important to you right now.

We sure can!  We offer a done for you scaling system implementation option which you can learn more about here. 

S2S ELITE + Ops Academy is for you if you lead an established coaching, consulting, or online business and are ready to create greater impact, increased profitability, regain time, and create a self-run company that's no longer dependent on you to scale.

S2S Ops Academy is NOT a fit if your business is still new or you are currently operating as a solopreneur with no plan to build out your team in the next 3 months.

Simplify to Scale will be most effective once your business is generating at least six-figures and has a small team (contractors or employees).

That being said, we do not have a specific minimum because we will occasionally work with a serial entrepreneur who is quickly growing their latest business venture and wants to build it lean and scalable from the start.

You can put in as much or as little time as you want, however to maximize the investment you are making in your business and yourself, we recommend that you plan for 3+ hours per week.

We give your right-hand person in the business access also so they can handle a lot of the implementation for you.

So if you're thinking "but I have sooooo much going on, I couldn't possibly spend 3+ hours per week", then you need Simplify to Scale more than ever! ;)

Here is how we would recommend investing your time in the program:

• 1 hour per week dedicated to the live calls and workshops
• 1 hour per week dedicated to the online portal - watching the bite-sized trainings, pulling the systems and templates you need
• 1+ hours per week IMPLEMENTING so you see results as quickly as possible  

You will get out of the program what you put into it, so we recommend blocking dedicated time on your calendar each week to take action.

You have access for a total of 6 months. 

You will have the opportunity to extend your access at the end of the 6 months if you would still wish to have access to the content and the bi-weekly calls with Crista.

We understand you may be hesitant to commit to a new program sight-unseen since you've likely been burned by other programs in the past who made a lot of big promises but didn't deliver.  

We are known for over-delivering on our promises but we don't expect you to take our word for it.  Instead we invite you to experience it yourself with our do-the-work guarantee.

You have 1 week, 7 calendar days, to try out the program, watch the 1st training, and utilize the 1st implementation bundle.

If you show up and do the work, and can show that you invested the time to try to implement but it wasn't for you, we will refund your payment.  

Please only invest in Simplify to Scale if you are fully committed - there will be no refunds given for changing your mind or deciding you are too busy to implement (which if you feel like you are too busy, then this is exactly what you need to get your time back!).

The CEO Calls are every other Tuesday at 2pm ET / 11am PT.

The Ops Lead Calls are once per month at 3pm ET / 12pm PT.

Recordings for all calls will be posted within 24 hours and questions can be submitted in advance if you can't make a call.

Each call combines a mini-training or case study with open forum Q&A so you can get strategic advisory from Crista on whatever challenge or opportunity you are experiencing in your business.

The mini-trainings and case studies are designed to amplify your results and are available as a private podcast so you can listen, or relisten, anytime.

How does a lot sound? 

If you are new to working with us, we do things differently around here.

We don't do mass programs, ever.  You will never get lost in a sea of other businesses.

We host smaller intimate groups so we can get to know you and your business in order to best support you and give you feedback specific to your business needs instead of just generalized or cookie-cutter advice which is the last thing you need (and unfortunately what most other programs provide).

This is a true mentorship experience for established businesses that want to scale sustainably, not just a digital course with a Q&A call stacked on top of it.

That's why the price will be increasing significantly throughout the year.
