On behalf of everyone at the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for being our guest speaker at our Lunch N’ Learn: “The 7 Key Performance Indicators for Building a Business That Builds Profits.”

Your presentation was both insightful and inspiring. The way you broke down complex performance metrics into clear, actionable strategies truly resonated with our attendees. We've already received positive feedback from participants who left feeling more equipped and motivated to drive profitability within their own businesses.

We deeply appreciate the time, expertise, and energy you shared with us today. Your contribution made this event not only informative but memorable.

Can’t wait to collaborate again in the future!

I’ve now attended two of Crystel Smith’s lunch and learns through Crystel Clear Business Strategies, and I can honestly say I’ve gained more practical, actionable knowledge from her than I have from any marketing advisor, fellow business owner—or even the endless stream of TikTok business advice.

Crystel has a unique ability to take complex concepts and break them down in a way that’s both easy to understand and immediately applicable. Her sessions are packed with real strategies you can implement right away, not fluff or recycled content.

We’re not even official clients (yet), but the value she’s already provided has outpaced what I’ve gotten from people paid to help grow our business. If you’re a business owner looking for direction, clarity, or just a fresh perspective that actually works, I cannot recommend Crystel highly enough.

Working with Crystel Clear Business Strategies and Crystel Smith has been a game changer for my business, NoVA Environmental Solutions. I had worked with a different business coach, and when I started with them, I had no idea what to expect, so I thought that I was getting the coaching that I needed. After making the change to Crystel Clear, the difference is night and day. The attention, the dedication, the planning, the insights that Crystel provides has helped me become a better business owner and in turn has helped me grow my business with a great team. I can't thank Crystel Smith enough.

This day was nothing short of enlightening! It was a jam- packed with information and good vibes through the entire day. Crystel and the coaches were generous with their knowledge and lit fire under the small businesses who were there to learn and flourish. You won't find better coaches anywhere!

CCBS Business Coaching provides amazing multi-spectrum and in-depth business knowledge with smart tools that can help scale a small business and develop systems to help the owners avoid wearing too many hats. As a small business owner, most of the time I was shooting from the hip; but Crystel’s comprehensive program provides guidance, accountability and enables the business owner to get birds-eye view of their entire business rather than flailing in the weeds! A business coach from CCBS also provides a sincere friend with heart felt encouragement cheering you on while helping you to avoid pitfalls. Recently, CCBS had their quarterly high energy “Business Owners” training session that was filled with all kinds of information you would never have access too if your working in your business rather than on your business! We also had the opportunity to meet other business owners and networking with people who share similar experiences is invaluable. It’s been one entire year since we started CCBS Coaching Program and are happy to report that we enjoy the value of each weekly session and are happy to learn as we grow!

I have only known Crystel for a short time, but in that time she has already been so generous with me. She has shared so much of her time, talent, and heart - she has such a big heart! In my conversations with Crystel, I always learn more about business, not only from the information she shares with me, but also through her example. Her commitment to her business and to helping her clients shines through, and inspires me to do the same. I highly recommend working with Crystel!

I am so grateful to have Crystel as my business coach and would definitely recommend her to others. She is so encouraging and has the ability to not just recognize my potential for growth, but offers the needed guidance and support in building my strengths and passions. She willing shares her documents, forms, tools and tips to develop and hone my skills. Crystel is motivating and always eager to share her wisdom, expertise, and resources. I truly appreciate her willingness to model and personally guide you in developing the questioning, listening and goal setting skills needed in becoming a top performing coach. As a trained professional, Crystel is truly a master of her subject. She has helped me clarify my thoughts and identify my niche. She asks the right questions, provides the right level of feedback, and yet puts you in the driver seat feeling empowered and energized. Thanks, so much Crystel.
