Partnering with Melissa and the Stack team is the right way to go. Great interviews and great clients!"

"I've landed my first client that Melissa connected me with and it's going great! We've had one onboarding meeting (that we will continue with once a week) and having a short "check in" meeting today. This client has never had an assistant before, so It's been exciting getting started with our cadence and developing our process. I've also never worked on a retainer before and I'm super into it! Thanks to Melissa, Ryan, Gal, and the Stack Team for helping me along with all of this."
