Work with Crystal

As an Online Business Manager, I work with my clients on a one-to-one basis, focusing on support for online solo professionals; Business Coaches, Strategists and Consultants.

This group of business owners shares similar support needs:

  • Project Management – Membership Sites and Online Events
  • Product Launch Support
  • Social Media Planning, Management & Implementation
  • In-Depth Shopping Cart Support
  • J.V. Program & Affiliate Management
  • Newsletter and Mailing List Support
  • WordPress blog and website maintenance
  • Quality Customer Support

Where Crystal Stands Out

While many VAs and OBMs operate their business on a “Multi-VA” model (contracting their own team of VAs, designers and other professionals for project tasks), I operate my business differently – The Northern Edge Business Solutions is not an agency.

I choose to work with a very small number of clients at any given time (3 maximum) so that I have the focus and concentration needed for each client.

I immerse myself in your business, working directly with you and your team (or helping you get one into place) for the success of your business.

Not every person, nor every business, is always a match for my services and support.  While there are a number of factors that affect fit, personality and ease of communication between myself and you, as the business owner, are major factors.  To ensure a successful fit, I offer a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your business needs and goals as an initial “get to know you” session. Contact me today to schedule an appointment!

Then, if we decide to start working together, we begin on a “Trial Basis” based on an hourly rate ($55.00/hr) for the 1st 90 days.  This means neither of us is locked in to a contract until we’ve gotten a chance to get to know one another and are sure we want to commit to a longer working relationship.

After that point, we work together to develop a compensation plan – often a monthly retainer, or flat fee + incentive compensation.  This allows us to work free from the confines of the time for money model, which can actually restrict growth and motivation!
