More Than Support: Building a VA Relationship That Works

If you are running a business with a lot happening behind the scenes, this episode will feel very familiar.

Cameron Creswell, founder of Automotive Talent, shares what changed when he finally brought a Virtual Assistant into the business after thinking about it for a long time. What started as support with behind-the-scenes grunt work quickly became much more than that.

He talks about how Daryl came in to handle sourcing and project support, then gradually took on more as trust grew and the role evolved. That gave Cameron more time to focus on the work only he can do.

But this conversation is not just about handing off tasks. Cameron explains why success with a VA still takes real effort, strong onboarding, and making someone feel like a genuine part of the team. In his words, Daryl is not really virtual at all. He is part of the family.

In this episode, you will hear: • Why he waited before getting support and what gave him the push to finally do it • How Daryl’s role grew from resourcing into much broader project support • Why communication, connection and onboarding matter just as much as capability

If you have been wondering what it really takes to make a VA relationship work, this is a great example of what happens when you get the fit right.
