Cachet and I had the privilege of serving alongside Pastor Mel McFarland at The Sanctuary Church South Campus in Pittsburgh. Her leadership is marked by both strength and grace—she empowers others to grow in their unique gifts while encouraging them to step beyond their comfort zones. What stands out most is her heart: she leads with a genuine passion for people and an unwavering commitment to point them to Christ. Mel creates an environment where leaders can thrive, and in the process, she models servant leadership that inspires excellence and faith. We are grateful not only to have served with a remarkable leader, but also to have gained a lifelong friend.

Working with Melissa over the years has truly transformed our business and salesforce. She helped us refresh stale processes and implement efficient systems that enabled us to capture more customers through new products. At the same time, she guided us in building and integrating a new CRM to better manage closing ratios and sales data. What sets Melissa apart is that she doesn’t just focus on process—she invests in people because she is also trained as a Gallup CliftonStrengths coach. Most consultants have never walked in the shoes of an executive leader in our industry. She equipped our sales team with the tools and mindset needed to reach new levels of performance. Beyond her expertise, Melissa aspired to follow the timeless teachings of Jesus in her actions and character, bringing integrity, humility, and care into every aspect of her work while driving our business forward.

As a business owner, I know firsthand how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day grind, especially when your systems feel outdated and inefficient.
That's where Melissa and REE Consulting truly helped us. Melissa has an incredible ability to understand not only the challenges you face with legacy systems, but also the bigger picture—how to bring new life into your business so you can focus on what truly matters: serving your clients and expanding your impact.
From our first conversation, Melissa demonstrated a rare combination of practical insight and strategic vision. She took the time to learn about my business, not just at the surface level, but deeply understanding the day-to-day challenges I was facing. With her guidance, we began to implement technology solutions that didn’t just fix old problems—they freed up significant time and energy.
What really stood out was how she helped us rethink how we use technology—not just as a tool to get the job done, but as a way to empower both employees and clients. By modernizing our systems, Melissa made it possible for us to work smarter, not harder, and that change has made a world of difference in how we deliver our services.
Thanks to Melissa, we’ve been able to reduce the time spent on outdated processes, allowing us to reinvest that time in growing our business, serving more people, and truly delivering the knowledge and services our clients need. If you’re a business owner feeling stuck with old systems, I highly recommend working with REE Consulting. Melissa's practical approach and deep understanding of what it takes to modernize and streamline operations will breathe new life into your business.
