Scott Smith and Richard Short

Scott Smith, director of Crystal Clear Global Solutions and Black Widow Internet alongside co-director Richard Short, has been making online profit since 1995. He also has a portfolio of his own online businesses which are all profitable and enjoying consistent growth.

Scott Smith prides himself on creating, running and development businesses which provide real value and benefit for the end user. With a diverse online business background from website hosting, security, mobile phones, financials such as loans, mortgages, insurance, pensions to name a few, Scott harnesses his knowledge of how to turn any online business model into an aggressive profit hungry entity.

As technical director for Crystal Clear Global Solutions and Black Widow Internet, as well as ensuring the day to day running of all technical departments and overall company running, Scott is heavily involved in research and development to enhance existing technologies and online methodology to further enhance the offerings to their client base. Not only with a focus on increase profitability through front facing income generation, but also in business cost reduction through automation and perfecting business process flow. Scott’s mission is to help businesses increase profit, reduce costs and achieve a consistent abundance of growth and success.

 

Scott is also extremely passionate about personal development, something he encourages all his staff to participate in. From attending seminars, reading books, listening to CD’s, watching DVD’s Scott is constantly looking at ways to improve not only himself, but his businesses and the people involved in those businesses. Major influences include: Dale Carnegie, Tony Robbins, Brad Fallon, Zig Ziglar, Bob Proctor, Ted Nicholas, Andy Jenkins, Wallace D. Wattles, Perry Marshall, Michael Bernard Beckwith and Richard Bandler.

 

Scott started his first online business in 1995 selling mobile phones via a partnership with Phones4u and due to the success of this business Phones4u set up a team in their head office in Stoke –on-Trent to cope with the demand. At this time, Scott was a fully qualified Independent Financial Adviser, giving advice to the public and corporate sectors on investments, pensions, assurance products and tax planning. Scott soon realised that with his knowledge of business and company profit models backed with his background in computers and outstanding success in the mobile phone industry that the internet was an overwhelming tool to be used to achieve his goals.

 

Scott proceeded to build up additional online businesses such as two very successful hosting companies, submission service business, security services and also used his knowledge of finance to launch a large and diverse range of financial offerings online as regular as mortgages and loans to the diverse as wedding insurance and pet insurances.

 

As Scotts businesses grew he realised that he needed a special type of person with additional skills to complement his own in order to continue the high growth and success he was enjoying. As if by the law of attraction, the time was perfect for Richard Short, also an extremely successful Independent Financial Adviser with even more years of experience, to join with Scott to create a partnership, however this partnership was short lived. With a relatively small injection of investment into the partnership from both Scott and Richard they soon realised the winning combination and this, combined with almost instant success resulted in the partnership being taken to a limited company status. Just a mere three months after the partnership was formed, both Scott and Richard took back their original investment and Crystal Clear Global Solutions Limited was formed and was self funding itself from that point forth. The company has never loaned a single penny and have made profit every single month and is enjoying constant growth.

 

Scott and Richard understood that their time to create businesses for themselves left out areas of business to which they did not possess working knowledge. Whilst they could build up the internet side with great skill and success there would be great learning curves in the offline areas of these new businesses. With this in mind, they launched BlackWidowInternet.com to offer their services to other businesses so they too could benefit from the online success and knowledge they had accumulated together.

 

BlackWidowInternet.com is now one of the driving forces behind their growth and success with most of the research into increased customer offerings, process improvement, technology enhancement and general R&D being performed by BlackWidowInternet.com

 

Scott is very proud of the services, technology, staff, businesses and client relationships built over the years and is constantly seeking ways to improve all areas of business and the lives of those he is lucky enough to meet.
