"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 an assistant who could help create business systems, deliver amazing customer service, and continually suggest ideas for improving my business from day one.

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

"I consider Secretary in Israel to be one of my business partners."

"Adina has been nothing but spectacular to work with. She is professional, articulate, creative, understanding, bright, responsible...I could go on and on.

"I can't say enough positive things about Adina. She has written some fantastic content for me to utilize in my blog and website. She has learned how to use Salesforce, while following up with various organizations throughout NJ, reaching out to them, attempting to establish relationships on my behalf.

"She is absolutely awesome, and I would be honored and delighted to be a reference for her and Secretary in Israel."

“2 things recently became clear: (1) my business 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 high-level support to ensure all projects are running while I'm working with clients. 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 and client scheduling with ease and grace. I have experienced -- and my clients have confirmed -- her professionalism and good nature. Hilary is an excellent face of my company onto the world.

"I know that if Hilary is on something, it's as good as done. Every request is possible, as she confirms with 'perfect'.

"Even more, Hilary has established systems and tools to streamline my business. 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.

"I am sure I couldn't have survived a recent peak period without her.

“Hilary is a Rockstar.”

"As a global business owner, author, mother and philanthropist time is of the essence. I had worked with a virtual assistant for 8 years before finding Secretary in Israel. I knew how to delegate virtually and I needed more help.

"This time I was looking for someone who could think with me and strategize how to make my systems work better for me, someone who isn't just an assistant. Someone who could coordinate between various contractors and actually take work off my shoulders.

"Laura, my virtual assistant through Secretary in Israel, has been amazing. Laura jumped right in and was the main reason I could take a few days off right away. She has truly saved me time and money.

"Laura handles my CRM system, my blog, my other social networking systems, sets up conference calls and keeps my back free for what really matters. In addition, she handles all of my travel arrangements. She is working with me as a partner handling what needs to be handled without me even prompting.

"I am delighted Laura is on my team!"

"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.

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

"My VA returns phone calls for me, she writes proposals for me, she posts my events on Facebook, and she does planning with my team.

"I can just send my VA 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, my VA has done the work!

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

"My virtual assistant 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 virtual assistant 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 virtual assistant has given me more time to focus on the developmental aspects of the business.

"My virtual assistant 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 virtual assistant is better than I could have ever imagined.

"I have gotten a number of terrific benefits from working with my virtual executive 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 assistant 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 virtual 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!
