Client Testimonials

"Since working with my virtual assistant, Hilary, I have collected thousands of dollars in past fees that were owed to me. These were fees for medical consulting work I had done and lectures I had given. As a busy cardiologist, I just didn't have the time to follow up on the invoices for this work.

"My executive virtual assistant has been instrumental in making sure I have all the money owed to me. We are now up-to-date. Working with my virtual assistant has more than paid for itself.

"I highly recommend Secretary in Israel LLC."

"With the help of my virtual assistant, Lauren, I'm getting projects done in a fraction of the time that they used to take me. Before, without her help, it used to take me weeks to complete projects as they more often than not got pushed to the back burner. But with Lauren spearheading these projects, they are literally completed in hours.

"My virtual assistant is on a completely higher level than any other virtual assistant that I've ever worked with in the past. Lauren is really a virtual partner who can help me think strategically about my business and then help me implement those ideas, too.

"I highly recommend Secretary in Israel LLC and have told all of my clients about them. They have totally transformed my business.

"I now have an entire day free each week since I started working with my virtual assistant through Secretary in Israel. I've delegated the task of writing and sending out my weekly e-newsletter to her. It's an important part of my marketing which used to take up an entire day of my time. However, she now does it, and I have the time to focus on meeting with clients.

"I had tried working with 2 virtual 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 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 assistant also edits my client contracts, she manages my schedule (and makes appointments with my clients), filters some of my emails, and she 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."

"My superb virtual assistant, Jacki, 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.

"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.

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

"Secretary in Israel helps to provide the thoroughly professional image that a company such as mine always seeks to project. The high caliber of our virtual assistant Jacki and the staff at Secretary in Israel are definite assets to our organization.

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

"I highly recommend Secretary in Israel LLC."

"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 in Thailand. She 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.

"Another thing: I was in Israel for a day last week, and now I'm in New York City for a week. Secretary in Israel assistance is even MORE valuable as the office can continue to operate while I travel around the world."

"I was experiencing the classic entrepreneur's syndrome -- trying to do it all by myself and feeling overwhelmed. I was spending a lot of time in my business on things that weren't the best use of my time.

"I decided to get a virtual assistant to handle my administrative tasks, and Secretary in Israel found me a virtual assistant, Lauren, who is FABULOUS.

"It's an indescribable moment of relief to know that I can hand off a whole series of things to an assistant who gets them done. My virtual assistant has totally freed up my time. I've worked with other virtual assistants in the past. The difference with Secretary in Israel is that I can count on my virtual assistant to get things done.

"Without hesitation, I recommend Secretary in Israel. They put a lot of care into the process of setting me up with a virtual assistant. What is unique about Secretary in Israel is that they have a personal sense of investment in my success as an entrepreneur since I am one of their clients. Secretary in Israel is a great advocate to have in my corner."

"I used to waste 3 or 4 hours each day on administrative work; things like scheduling appointments, writing letters to clients, etc. It became clear that this wasn't a good use of my time, so I decided to work with Secretary in Israel to outsource my administrative tasks.

"Secretary in Israel placed with me a super top level assistant Dani, at a price I can afford.

"With my virtual assistant booking my calendar and handling my To Do's, I now use my time much more effectively. I now meet every day with either a current client, a potential new client, and or a referral partner. My virtual assistant has freed me up to be able to meet with people who have the ability to refer me business.

"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."

"Before working with Secretary in Israel, I was stuck at my home office with a ton of administrative things to do. I was keeping track of clients' emails and contact info in a spreadsheet, entering notes about them, and following up with them. I also spent a lot of time on the internet to set up sites for clients to register for my events.

"I realized I needed help and decided to try working with a virtual assistant.

"Having a virtual assistant is great! I tell my virtual assistant what I need her to do, and she does it. I have her put together our e-newsletter, email invitations to clients for events, and organize and maintain our clients' information in our contact database.

"Now that my virtual assistant takes care of my administrative needs, I now have more time to talk to people, to network, and to promote my business. I go out and get people to register for events, and the registration forms have already been created by my virtual assistant.

"I would highly recommend Secretary in Israel to anyone who is looking for a virtual assistant. Secretary in Israel places you with a virtual assistant who grew up in America so she knows the culture, location and the people."

"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.

A friend told me about getting a virtual assistant through Secretary in Israel, and I'm glad that I did.

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

"Secretary in Israel provides an added level of efficiency to my business and allows me to focus on other developmental aspects. I highly recommend Secretary in Israel to any type of business."

"I was looking for someone to do some in-depth, ongoing research for a project. I didn't have the time to complete the task, nor did I have anyone who I could trust to do it well.

"Secretary in Israel linked me up with the PERFECT person to get the job done.

"My virtual assistant has the exact educational background and the expertise needed for the job. My virtual assistant's input went way beyond secretarial work; she became a partner with me in creating the project. In one discussion, my VA shared her ideas and enhanced the project. It was extremely helpful to me. The research was done in a shorter time than I had thought.

"When you work with Secretary in Israel, you are hiring someone who is pre-screened and ready to roll. There is no training lag time. They heard my needs and matched me based on my needs.

"I have recommended Secretary in Israel to many of my friends who need highly qualified assistants in a variety of professions. Working with Secretary in Israel has been a completely painless and very, very positive experience."

"I did not know how I would squeeze time into my already overpacked day to do a very important, ongoing research project. With all of the events that I already plan (as the head of the alumni department for a prominent high school), there is not much time left.

"I decided to look into another option: hiring someone to do the research and find out the information for me. I then heard about Secretary in Israel LLC. They were able to find and place a wonderful virtual assistant with me.

"My virtual assistant is handling this project for me. (Incidentally, she used to worked for Merrill Lynch in the United States for 21 years!) My assistant calls each of our alums to find out about their lives, what they've been doing since they graduated, what is going on with their families, in their careers, etc. She then updates our alumni department with this information.

"My virtual assistant has had tremendous success. My VA has connected with many alumni who enjoy talking with her and telling her their life story. With our virtual assistant, we were able to gather much more information and at a much quicker pace than we would have been able to if it was just up to me to put in just five minutes here and there. Our virtual assistant is very good at connecting with alumni and helping them feel good about our school.

"I absolutely recommend Secretary in Israel to others. Secretary in Israel makes makes everything so easy, with wonderful follow-through and excellent support-tips. I couldn't ask for a better assistant, virtual or in-person.

"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.

"As luck would have it, I received a phone call from a young woman named Sarah Leah Gootnick about Secretary in Israel LLC. Skeptical at first about working with someone whom I've never met, after only one phone call with Secretary in Israel's referral, I was convinced that I would be in excellent hands.

"My virtual assistant, Jacki, who moved to Israel last summer, had many years in senior executive assistant and office management positions. 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 managed my office in my absence. Her services were invaluable and was 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!

"I fully recommend Secretary in Israel to other small business owners."
