Words From Our Clients

  • March 28, 2020

    To whom it may concern

    I have been working closely with Leo over the past year, he hired me to join his sales team at Megantic in South Melbourne. I have been consistently impressed by both Leos attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. To be honest he is one of the main reasons I took the job in the first place.

    Leo really knows his stuff, with over 10 years of digital marketing experience. He has been my coach and mentor since starting and leads his team from out in the frontline at every opportunity. He is very results orientated personally and leads by example, this sales and revenue focus flows down to the team and helps him get the best from us all.

    His solution selling and negotiation skills are some of the best I have seen. What really works well is his ethical and personal style which resonates with SME clients and tier 1 prospects alike. He has helped Megantic grow over the last 7 years from a small team to 75+ staff in 2 continents. Constantly has creative ideas for growth and efficiency improvements and has demonstrated the ability to implement.

    His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with 100’s clients, his sales team and all the other teams in the Megantic office. Leo has the listening and questioning skills necessary to extract information from our clientele making sure to choose the right project for our operation.

    Leo possesses solid writing skills which have enabled him to compose quality correspondence. He also has the analytical skills to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions. His ability to remain unflustered during frenzied periods like the current crisis and other difficult times proves his ability to work well under pressure.

    I recommend him for employment without reservation. Any company would be lucky to have him. Please let me know if you need further information.

    Best regards,

  • To Whom It May Concern,

    I have had the honour of knowing Leo personally and working under him as a Digital Web Analyst at Megantic. Even though it was for a short while, I am delighted to provide an insight and a story of who Leo is as a leader and as a manager.

    While I was going through my training at Megantic and I could not book a sales meeting for the life of me, but that did not stop Leo from helping me with my first meeting on my last day of training. We worked tirelessly on my last day until I booked in a meeting. What I learned that day is that Leo can be intense and tough on you but he means well. And he also taught me that day to never give up and to have the mental toughness to survive the sales industry. The industry is based on results and judging from Leo’s client profile list, I believe he is doing great for himself.

    Leo is an ambitious, relentless leader and I feel very confident in saying that I have no doubts about his abilities as a manager to succeed in the future.

    Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

    Thanks

  • To Whom It May Concern,

    I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Mr Leo Comino who was my Manager when I worked as a Digital Web Analyst for Megantic Pty Ltd in 2019.

    On commencing this role, I had no experience in the field however Leon was extremely supportive and reassured me that I was capable of learning the required skills to be successful in my role. He ensured that I had the necessary training in place and took time out of his busy schedule to check I was OK and provide me with extra support and teaching where necessary.

    Leo was paramount to the teams’ success and kept us focussed and motivated to reach our targets with regular team meetings both formal and in a more informal and social capacity. He is a strong and confident leader who can take a hardline approach if necessary but will also be the first to praise team members when they have great success.

    Leo is a very ambitious, driven and hardworking manager who excels at building and maintaining client relationships. I have no doubt that he will continue to succeed in a professional capacity in future endeavours.

    Kind Regards,
    Eleanor Irvin
    Former employee at Megantic Pty Ltd

  • To whom it may concern,

    My name is Mathew Reed and I previously worked with Leo at ‘Help Me Choose’. I worked closely with Leo and he trained me in the role and was more than helpful to assist where possible. He provided great training and (perhaps more importantly) strong coaching skills. He introduced efficient ways of working across the business and was happy to adjust processes in an agile fashion. Le presented himself friendly but also professionally in nature and I would happily work with Leo moving forward.

    Thanks,
    Mathew Reed

  • To whom it may concern,

    I have known Leonidas for more than five years. He interviewed and hired me for a digital marketing consultant role for Megantic. During my employment, I worked within a team under his management. It was a pleasure working with Leonidas, he trained me well, whilst setting the right structure in order to achieve our individual and teams targets.

    He is organised, efficient and extremely competent with the ability to build excellent rapport with people of all ages. He was a great leader to work under, and a big reason for the success of the business we worked at. Leonidas is the type of person you can count on to keep a cool head in a stressful situation and his positive attitude is contagious. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Leonidas again if the opportunity arose.

    If you have any questions or need any additional information feel free to contact me, hope this helps!

    Thanks,
    Oliver Cox

  • To whom it may concern,

    I worked with Leo at Traction Digital for just under a year in a role equivalent to his. We always had a healthy working relationship and he was incredibly helpful as I ramped up in the company. We work on opportunities together and support each other when possible.

    He is a very genuine person and I still keep in contact with him today and look forward to any future opportunities to work together with him.

    If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Cheers
