Customer Support Review from Manoj Thenua
I recently engaged a customer support provider to manage client service and support tasks for my healthcare-oriented platform. From the outset, their team was extremely professional, responsive and attentive. Their onboarding process was smooth, prompt, and well-organized. Throughout the project they handled all support tickets including account queries, billing questions, technical issues and general user guidance with empathy and clarity.What impressed me most was their commitment to quality: they consistently responded quickly to inquiries (often within minutes), maintained a helpful and courteous tone, and followed up until the users problems were fully resolved. Feedback from my users has been overwhelmingly positive: many praised how easy it was to get help and how satisfied they were with the assistance.Thanks to their efficient support, user satisfaction and retention improved noticeably compared to the period before they handled support. I also experienced fewer escalations and received fewer complaints overall. Their professionalism and consistency gave me peace of mind and freed me to focus on growing the platform rather than handling day-to-day support issues.Overall, working with them has been a very positive and productive experience the quality of support exceeded my expectations.

Had a pleasure to work with Ethan for a couple months. Having to live in Canada with different time zones, he’s been very good with getting back to me with my inquiries/questions alongside my business partner. I appreciate all the help, Ethan!
Daniel Wilds's Review Sourced from Google
Burniston Marketing Partners are a pleasure to combine with. I've crossed paths with Ethan on multiple occasions over the last 2 years since meeting him. His urgency and attention to detail is inspiring. And to anyone on the verge of taking action with them I'd say to take the time to speak to them, and let the qualities I have listed above shine through.
Xavier Muvuti's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Ethan from Burniston Marketing Partners has been a great experience. He's reliable, thinks fast, and is always proactive about next steps without needing to be pushed. Would definitely recommend!

Hawa Bah's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had an amazing experience working with Stellar Staff, especially with my VA, Argen. She has been an incredible asset to my business—organized, dependable, and always willing to go above and beyond.What stood out the most was her support while I was on maternity leave. She helped manage client communications, kept projects moving, and made sure everything continued running smoothly. Having someone I could truly rely on during that time gave me so much peace of mind.Argen is proactive, detail-oriented, a fast learner, and genuinely cares about the success of the businesses she supports. I highly recommend Stellar Staff to anyone looking for a reliable virtual assistant agency. I’m so grateful for their support and look forward to continuing to work with them!
Lag Beauty's Review Sourced from Google
We have been working with Stellar Staff for several months now, (Kristina our Rep and Evelyn our VA) couldn’t be better!! We are truly happy of working with them, the process and the progress we’ve seen with them has been so effortless and rewarding. Very professional, attentive and just overall amazing. Looking forward to continue growing and building together. 100/10! ✨🫶🏽 Amazing company.
