Cristal O’Meara, Real Estate Professional

I have to give my highest praise to Melisa Tropeano and the team at MTL Communications. They have played a large role in rebranding and repositioning our business during a complicated transition.

Melisa saw my vision and used her exemplary executive coaching skills to keep me on track throughout the sometimes very hectic process.

She coordinated the internal and external process of media and advertising as well as making some very strategic introductions to take us to the next level.

We look forward to continuing to work with MTL Communications as we continue to expand our brand throughout the nation.

From our first meeting, Melisa told me that I needed to write my memoir. She said that if I shared my story, it would help people. She kept saying “Your story is bigger than you realize.” She took the time to get to know me and figure out I wanted to communicate to my audience. I was delighted to discover that she then broadened that audience to something that went way beyond my expectations. Melisa and her team have relentlessly shown up as a true partner who has my best interest in mind at all times. Since beginning our professional relationship, my social media has grown and I have received requests for press interviews that I never thought possible. Melisa helped me to make that leap from “speaker” to “paid speaker.” She coaches me to ensure my message is on point with the brand we are building. And, most importantly, she is there when I need to be talked off the ledge. Melisa and her team take the time to not only get to know her clients, but to understand them. Melisa and the MTL Communications team are an integral part of my company.
