"Although outsourcing has become popular, I still found it difficult to find someone who could complete tasks at the level I needed. I run 4 different businesses and did not have the time to train someone or go on an endless search for the right person. I needed someone who could help create systems, deliver amazing customer service and continually suggest ideas for improvement right from the start.

"When I was referred to Secretary in Israel, I finally found what I was looking for! Secretary in Israel's systems, attention to detail and communication style is superb. They took the time to learn more about me and then recommended the best fit.

"My virtual assistant Irene manages my social media campaigns and market research, creates systems and works with the high level clients in one of my businesses. I am so impressed with Irene and Secretary in Israel that I actually wrote them both into the business plan of my newest project.

"We consider Secretary in Israel to be one of our partners."

“I was just over one year into my own consulting business, when two things became clear: (1) it was growing beyond expectations, and (2) I needed support.

"My client-facing work is very intense and absorbing and I serve multiple clients simultaneously. I knew I needed to have logistical support and client relationship management, to ensure all projects kept on humming while I was deep in an engagement. I heard about Secretary in Israel and gave it a try, knowing that I could completely control how much support I would tap.

“My virtual assistant, Hilary, performed these functions and so much more. For starters, she manages travel, client scheduling with ease and grace. I have experienced -- and my clients have confirmed -- her professionalism and good nature. Hilary is an excellent face onto the world. Every request is possible, as she confirms with 'perfect'.

"Quite simply, I know that if Hilary is on something, it's as good as done. I am sure I couldn't have survived a recent peak period without her. Even further, she has established systems and tools that make my interfacing with tasks effortless. Over time, our relationship is becoming a true partnership, as I trust her judgment and guidance for new aspects of the business -- managing business development and marketing materials development -- that require attention and follow-through over time.

“Hilary is a Rockstar.”

"I'd like you to know I'm delighted with the job that my virtual assistant is doing. I can't imagine my business life without Secretary in Israel.

"As our business was growing, we faced a problem--we knew we needed an assistant but we hesitated in hiring one because:

1. We wanted more than just an assistant. We wanted someone who would be an extension of our company, someone we could trust to competently interact with our members and clients and be true to our voice. This type of person is hard to find.

2. We wanted someone who would be flexible with the hours, as some weeks we have more hours of work hours that were inconsistent.

"When we found Secretary in Israel, we were thrilled because they were able to address our two biggest concerns above.

"Our virtual assistant through them, Hilary, has become our go-to person for everything. Hilary can do anything we ask her to do. If she doesn't know how to do something, she calls someone and learns how to do it. She always says, 'Yes, I'll take care of it.' We love her upbeat attitude!

"Best of all, when Hilary writes our e-newsletter or writes emails to our members, she does it in my voice! Many of our members don't even realize it's not me writing it since she captured my voice so clearly.

"Our web site traffic has doubled since working with Secretary in Israel. One of the reasons is because my business partner Laura and I are spending 20 hours/week on growing our business instead of doing our e-newsletter and other administrative tasks that we have outsourced to Hilary. Since we fully trust Hilary and know that the work is being done, we've also freed up our mental capacity so that we can use that energy to be creative in thinking about our business.

"If you run a growing business, I HIGHLY recommend Secretary in Israel, as they will be a great addition to your team."

“I realized that I wanted to be spending my time and energy where my gifts are. Things that aren’t my strengths I decided to outsource to my virtual assistant Alyssa.

“I have 3 businesses where I spend my time, plus I'm a mom and a wife. By having Alyssa focus on Lobella, I was able to get momentum on my Juice Plus business. As a result of Alyssa's help, I now have teams in 8 countries who I manage, and this is all in less than 2 years!

"Alyssa returns phone calls for me, she writes proposals for me, she posts my events on Facebook, and she does planning with the my group.

"I can just send Alyssa a text message, tell her to send out a few things to my team, and she handles it for me. Then, when I wake up, Alyssa has done the work!

"With Alyssa's help, I've been able to grow my business and make more money all while having have less stress."

"Secretary in Israel has literally transformed my business, and changed how I run my life, in the most positive of ways.

"My virtual assistant, Leah, is the very definition of smart, organized, and capable -- she allows me to actually focus on the work I do, without worrying about whether I'm going to miss an appointment, forget an important task, or need to drop what I am doing to immediately respond to every routine inquiry.

"Leah also provides me with valuable peace of mind when I take a break or vacation, as it means my office doesn't have to be closed. I can now imagine growing my business in the ways that I could never have thought about before.

"Secretary in Israel's virtual assistants simply let you do more, with greater confidence -- I highly recommend Secretary in Israel."

"I needed an assistant I could depend on to handle tasks for the gallery.These tasks had been absorbing 80% - 90% of my time and inhibiting me from working on the more developmental portions of the business to help it to grow.

"My assistant Nechama updates contracts for me, returns business calls, reviews incoming e-mails, updates my contact e-mail and address lists, prepares materials for exhibitions, coordinates work with the interns, and more. The lists of her to-do's is always growing.

"It is reassuring to have a dependable and reliable person taking care of things for me and the business.Working with my assistant has given me more time to focus on the developmental aspects of the business.

"By working with Secretary in Israel, we have attracted a number of new clients to our business.

"As a successful wealth management firm, we have a lot to do on a daily basis to make sure that our clients receive top-notch 'Ritz Carlton' service. Secretary in Israel supports us by staying in touch with our clients on a monthly basis, delivering educational content (such as newsletters and sending relevant books), connections (to our referral partners), and gifts (for birthdays, etc.). Our clients are thrilled, and we have garnered quite a following as a result.

"In addition, since my local team here in Northern California is at full capacity, we didn't have any additional bandwidth to deliver the services I want my clients to receive. So perhaps best of all, by working with Secretary in Israel, I don't have to hire any additional staff. I get to work exclusively with one of their quite amazing virtual assistants. She is dedicated to my business and my clients, and as a result, she delivers top-notch service.

"Furthermore, my virtual assistant has all the qualities that I wouldn't be able to find locally: enthusiasm, attention to detail, and a 'just say yes/can do' attitude."

"I am so happy with Secretary in Israel that I have already referred them to a number of my colleagues, who have also signed up with them."

"You have made my life much simpler through the services of Secretary in Israel.

"I am getting a quality assistant that I could not possibly find here. Esther seems happy to have the work, and for me it has made my response to donors become far more streamlined.

"Thanks very much for finding me the right person.

"My client relationship manager is nothing short of magnificent. What is most remarkable about her is her level of motivation and commitment to my company. She has a stick with-it attitude that I haven't seen locally. My client relationship manager is better than I could have ever imagined.

"I have gotten a number of terrific benefits from working with my American virtual assistant.

"I had tried working with 2 virtual executive assistants in the past. Neither of them worked out. They just didn't follow through on the tasks that I asked of them. What I love about my virtual executive assistant through Secretary in Israel is how focused she is on taking care of the details in my business.

"Not only does she take care of my weekly e-newsletter, but my virtual executive assistant also edits my client contracts, manages my schedule (and makes appointments with my clients), filters some of my emails, and has even created new business cards for me. All of these are major time savers that enable me to spend my time working with my clients one-on-one.

"I highly recommend Secretary in Israel to other business owners! I have already passed their name out to a number of my colleagues."

"Since I travel frequently and am often left without internet access, my ability to keep up with email was being compromised, and my ability to follow up on sales calls was becoming impossible.

"My superb virtual assistant has proven to be resourceful and persistent in setting up sales visits for me. She is also excellent at following up with my prospects, especially when I am not in the country to do the work myself.

"Not only does my virtual assistant research prospective clients, but she also follows up with them after I meet with them. In addition, my virtual assistant has also set up systems to help me keep my inbox under control.

"My clients have become very used to dealing with my virtual assistant. They have commented on the high caliber of her work and appreciate her help. My clients have no idea that my virtual assistant is not local!

"I highly recommend Secretary in Israel."

"My American virtual assistant is handling a 2-year, ongoing research project for me, which saves me about 10 hours/week of time. As the head of alumni relations for a high school, my time is extremely limited.

"Secretary in Israel makes makes everything so easy, with wonderful follow-through and excellent support-tips.

"I absolutely recommend Secretary in Israel to others. I couldn't ask for a better assistant, virtual or in-person."

"I run a small, successful relocation company in the San Francisco Bay Area called CROSSROADS Relocation. As a sole proprietor, I am always faced with the challenge of how to maintain the continuity of my business when traveling. With an upcoming month-long trip abroad, and knowing that I would have limited email and phone contact, I was deeply concerned about how to leave the office unattended for a month.

"I decided to give Secretary in Israel a try. Skeptical at first about working with someone whom I've never met, after only one phone call with Secretary in Israel's virtual assistant, I was convinced that I would be in excellent hands.

"My virtual assistant has had many years in senior secretarial and office management positions (including as the Executive Assistant to the Senior Lawyer for Goldman Sachs Worldwide). In just a few hours of training via phone, my virtual assistant had grasped the essence of my business and was ready to go!

"My virtual assistant's help in my absence was invaluable and one of the best things I could have done to maintain continuity of my existing business and to handle new business as it came in. She was absolutely wonderful in intuitively understanding what to do and how to react when faced with relocation-related challenges! I absolutely could not have gone on vacation without her!

"My virtual assistant's superb administrative skills will take me beyond the requirements of this trip. With the upcoming wedding of my youngest son and the upcoming birth of my daughter's first baby, I am going to need all the help I can get, and I fully anticipate that this will become an ongoing role.

"It has been a joy working with such an accomplished virtual assistant. Secretary in Israel provides Assistants who deliver truly excellent help. I fully recommend Secretary in Israel to other small business owners."

"Secretary in Israel has figured it out and unlocked the code: Customer service, customer service, customer service!
