How Much Could Virtual Support Change Your Workday

[Ruby Bennett]

Could be. I’d like to see examples of how a new assistant gets integrated with a client. That’s usually where remote teams struggle — establishing trust and understanding work style early on.

I’m also curious about cost. People-first, carefully vetted assistants probably aren’t the cheapest option. But if it frees up meaningful time, it might be worth the premium. It’s a trade-off many founders probably think about.

Yeah, and if the assistants stick around longer because of the supportive culture, that reduces turnover headaches. High turnover is one of the biggest hidden costs of virtual assistant platforms.

I like that Amber seems to focus on long-term client-assistant relationships. That seems smart, especially as many platforms are more transactional. It probably improves consistency and reduces the friction of repeatedly onboarding new assistants.

 

[Ruby Bennett]

Exactly. Stability is huge. It might be what makes Trusty Oak stand out in a crowded VA space. I wonder if that also contributes to the awards they’ve received — recognition often follows consistent quality.

Overall, it seems like Amber Gray’s approach is very intentional, from recruiting to client relationships. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s used their services — whether it really translates into freed-up time and better focus for founders.
