Name of Business: CRUX Organizing

Point of Contact: Laura Reiss

Length of time business has been operating: CRUX just celebrated 7 years at the end of April

Description of Business: Productivity & Time Management, Systems & Process Specialist

Your Business Mission Statement: The CRUX Mission is to make systems, process, and structure no longer dirty words!

What’s Your Why? My why is quality time and quality of life. We often spend our time dealing with the systems of a broken system. By identifying and fixing the broken parts of the system, it begins to work for us instead of against us. This frees up our time, energy, and attention to be spent in the places we really want to be.

What sets your business apart from others? No one else does what we do, how we do it, with the success we achieve for our clients. Laura has been described as a “process maven” and our clients’ lives and businesses are positively changed. We build the tracks to run the train so our clients can focus on what they do best!

What are some of the personal rewards that come from your business? This is adjacent to my WHY. I want clients to be able to develop their time and process management skills, create better employee onboarding and retention, and be able to turn their brains off when they’re not working. Knowing that more people have the systems and skillset to be fully present, in whatever they’re doing, living life to the fullest, makes me feel amazing!

How long have you been a chamber member? Renewed earlier this year, for the 2^nd year.

What benefits have you experienced with your chamber membership? It was an amazing experience while things were virtual. I was able to connect with new people and business owners and form some great new relationships. Being an entrepreneur can be hard if you don’t have a great support network.

Do you offer any discounts? Please specify: CRUX offers package discounts, retainer discounts, and prepay discounts. Since one size does not fit all, we have our discounted CRUX Bootcamp ($996.00) which sets up a strong foundation of productivity skillsets and determines the best ways in which CRUX can support you and your business.
