Why Reinvent the Wheel?

Your time is too precious to waste it figuring the things out
that someone else already knows.
Time = Money? Well then, ask yourself,
"What is my time worth?"

No Time to Waste?

Cristella Mac Consulting was created for the entrepreneur who has worked long enough within their business to understand passionate is great, talent is needed, but money makes or breaks your business.

There are so many “consultants”, “coaches”, “mentors” that want to pump you up and get you started in your business. That’s great! You need that! But what happens when bills start adding up? When the lease payment is overdue? When the small business loan that seemed great, isn’t so great after all with additional fees that end up being no different than if you put your start-up business expenses on a credit card? When the employee you rely on daily is moving away? When you get a customer you are sure is from the underworld?

You need someone who has literally been through it themselves. Someone who got through it and with other people taking notice of how they did it; In a very industrious, innovative and profitable way.

You want someone who thinks like your client or customer.
You want someone who has walked in your shoes.
You want someone who thinks like your employee and who has had employees just like yours.
You want someone who gets the numbers and doesn’t get distracted by feelings.
You want someone who knows the tools, the professionals and resources for you.
You want someone who understands what your time is worth and that without profit, you aren’t running a business, but rather you have an expensive hobby.

This is how Cristella Mac Consulting is different. We are about facts and getting things done.
We want you around. Small businesses are the backbone of our society, right? 
So small businesses need to know how to protect their business and make sure money is in the bank. Otherwise, we can keep saying “Good-bye” to the mom and pop shops we love. 
“Great idea. Awesome people. They didn’t understand cash-flow. They didn’t protect their business”.

​Cristella Mac Consulting specializes in boutique businesses; Primarily retail, salon & restaurant.

Understanding the Investment

Initial Intake Consultation - 30 minutes | Complimentary
This is the time for you to share your goals, what you are hoping to achieve with your consultant. We advise you to be prepared. Your papers and your notes should all be in hand. Do not waste this complimentary conversation. 
Your consultant will then share what they believe they can offer you. You may even be assigned a little bit of homework.
Only viable mentees will be invited to take part in a consulting program.

During your consultation it will be determined if whether or not your task is an itemized option.
Please note followups and handouts are not provided with an itemized option as the billing rate is hourly.

Your Ally Package - (12 sessions; 1-2 Items) Yearly |  $1299 +hst
Are you the owner of a salon or boutique location? Would you like a professional "on payroll" that knows your business, knows your goals and will keep you at top of mind each month?
Who can educate your staff, review new government policies, following up on your marketing tactics...whatever your need is, a monthly check in for that need can be arranged. 

Our most popular request is for Staff Meetings! So many of our salon and boutique owners prefer to have a professional brought in to deliver the "hard truths" to their staff. A person who can cut the crap and say what needs to be said.  Maybe you'd like to delegate quarterly reviews and followups to your consultant?
With a consultant who is personalized to your business, you get to remain the "nice guy" and have someone else deliver the facts.

If you believe you need to fire an employee (maybe for the first time), a consultant can help you strategize the best manner in which to go about it and direct you to the appropriate counsel as well.
