WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
"As
the director of a not-for-profit,
you have to stretch every single
dollar that is donated to your
agency. It is critical to be a
good steward of these gifts, and
find creative resources that allow
you to get the job done with a small
staff and major funding cuts.
Daybreak Virtual has most definitely helped us solve
a "staffing problem and a too little
money and not enough time dilemma."
Their staff always gets the job done
in an efficient and timely way.
Thank you Daybreak!!"

Executive Director
Literacy Orange (Orange County, NY)
http://literacyorangeny.sharepoint.com
SPECIAL NOTE FROM DAYBREAK:
Literacy groups provide services
that have a ripple effect in their
communities. In addition to
providing a better quality of life
for those who can learn to read,
literate populations are more likely
to develop economically, live
healthier lives, and be more
peaceful. These volunteer
groups have been dealing with
reduced donations because of the
economy as well as de-funding caused
by New York State's budget crisis.
As a result, many of them are
struggling with trying to maintain
critical core programs.
Literacy Orange is near and dear to
us, so I would like to encourage you
to support this group, or the
literacy group that services your
community. Thank you for your
consideration.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR:
"My name is Scott Lask
and I'm the owner and Chief
Investment Officer of the Wealth
Management Group in Monroe, NY.
My experience with Daybreak Virtual
Office Solutions has been
tremendously positive and very
effective. They give me the
ability to stay focused on my tasks
without having interruptions either
for phone calls or follow-up calls.
They give me the semblance of being
a highly professional organization
with a full office staff, and their
people are incredibly diligent,
efficient, courteous and very
helpful to my clients. I can't
say enough about how it's helped us
improve our productivity, which I
would say is up by at least 60%."
"It's an absolute
pleasure to know I can leave the
office to meet with clients or
potential clients knowing that the
phones are covered and with the
assurance that people are watching
the store. I would highly
recommend Daybreak's services to
anyone who would ask."

MUSIC STUDIO:
"My husband and I have
music studios in Ulster and Orange
Counties in New York State, and most
recently in Manhattan. We
were struggling with trying to
juggle family responsibilities,
including a toddler, as well as my
husband's full time teaching job,
with our music school duties.
We were getting behind in billing,
scheduling, and in returning
messages. We love teaching,
but needed help handling the
administrative tasks. Daybreak
Virtual Office Solutions quickly and
inexpensively solved all of that.
My Virtual Assistant and her team
answer our phones, schedule our
teaching appointments, and answer
general questions on our behalf.
They handle our billing and process
our credit card payments. As a
result, we now have a more efficient
and professional operation, and
we're able to spend more quality
time with our daughter rather than
worrying about all that we are not
accomplishing. Daybreak
Virtual Office has been a Godsend to
us and I strongly recommend their
services. (And they're also
really nice people!)"

PLUMBING CONTRACTOR:
"I just want you to
know that when it comes to dealing
with all of my "stuff" (work,
family, employees, time management,
etc), it's comforting to have my
Virtual Assistant watching my back.
She handles my calendar and
schedules my jobs, fields customer
inquiries, answers my phones,
protects me from telemarketers, and
contacts me when it's necessary.
This lets me focus on what I do best
- plumbing, construction and
maintenance. It's really great
to know that there is someone who is
obviously better qualified than I am
at handling office tasks. I
can't say enough about how much I
love having the help of such
qualified people. Please pass
this on to the whole team and if you
need my recommendation to anyone who
is interested in your service, I'll
be happy to speak to them. You
folks are the best!"
THANK YOU!

"How much more
productive would you be if you
opened up your calendar every day
and found all your appointments set,
confirmed, and with notes? The cost
of hiring, training, and
implementing a personal assistant to
set your appointments, book your
flights, dinners, and even remind
you when it's your anniversary is
expensive. You have payroll, taxes,
workers compensation, benefits, and
training time.
Enter Jeff Mehl, and Daybreak
Virtual Office Solutions. With
Jeff's service, you can have all of
this without the expense and
headache of hiring someone yourself.
I use Daybreak Virtual Office
Solutions to confirm my
appointments, manage my calendar,
and advise me of any issues during
the course of my busy days, and the
service is professional, prompt,
courteous, and truly is an extension
of you. My own clients have
commented on the level of
professionalism. In fact, there were
many times my phone would ring and
my client on the other end would
request to speak to my Virtual
Assistant!

"Daybreak Virtual Office is a life

my time to focus on revenue
producing activities. Phone
tag with clients to schedule
appointments is eliminated and deals
close more quickly. I cannot
imagine running a successful
business without their support."

and BUSINESS ADVISOR:
"Jeff
and Valerie Mehl own and operate
Daybreak Office Solutions.
This is a virtual office service
that has great appeal for any size
business that needs support from a
daily to an occasional help.
They go out of their way to provide
what the client needs. That
sounds so simple and pedestrian, but
I have to say that the service one
receives from them is anything but
that. During a project they
were working on with me last
November with an impossible time
line, everything I needed done was
done and on time which in this case
was no small feat. The plus
side of doing this kind of project
with a company is that, when they do
an excellent job, you don't just
have another business you can
recommend to those who need them,
but you also develop a friendship
built on trust by going through that
"trial by fire" together. If
you think a hand with office staff
is just what you need, give Jeff or
Val a call at Daybreak. You
will never regret bringing them in
to work on your team."

PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS
CONSULTANT:
“When I started my business, I
dreamt of the intelligent, charming
& dedicated employees to help best
serve our clients needs. I never
imagined a virtual office would fill
this great void & provide such
immense value. After 6 years in
business, I finally have more time
to focus, relax & breathe. You are
the business partner who anticipates
my needs without a sick day, payroll
taxes, workmen’s comp, rising health
insurance, pension plan or tantrum.
The wide range of services you
provide offers me more freedom to
work on my business than I ever
imagined. I am confident we will
continue to grow together at a rapid
pace. You & your dedicated staff
check in to make sure I fully
utilize your services or to see how
much more you can take off my plate.
I have discovered more time to work
on my business & can take a day off
without guilt. This is beyond
excellent customer service. You
ensure your staff has complete
understanding of our business & that
I am completely satisfied at every
stage. Thanks for making every
transaction an absolute pleasure &
for supporting my growth. Please
consider changing your tag line to
“We’ll give you freedom on an

"Jeff
and his staff have supported me on
many different projects of On Belay.
If you are a soloist or small mobile
oriented firm I can't recommend Jeff
and his firm Daybreak enough. They
provide the detail orientation to my
creativity. They are my stable
office when I am on the go
constantly. His team is always
pleasant, smart and an incredible
value. Save both your budget and
peace of mind with Jeff and
Daybreak."

GURU/BUSINESS ADVISOR:
“Everyone knows
I'm everywhere. The secret behind my
success as an avid networker and
referral partner is Daybreak Virtual
Office. When I started missing phone
calls, I hired Daybreak to be a
voice on the other end of the phone
while I'm at a meeting. As my
business grows, I know Daybreak will
be there to expand their services to
fill the gaps in the daily
administration of my business so
that I can spend my time focusing on
marketing & actually doing the work
that needs to be done for my
clients. I can't recommend it highly
enough. If you're losing time doing
paperwork, that time should be spent
generating sales. You'll see the
results in your earnings. Economical
and reliable -- I recommend Daybreak
so often, I need a subscription
service for them to replenish my
storehouse of their business cards.
Don't just think about it, schedule
your meeting with Jeff!”

"I
really like your service.
Having a Personal Assistant has been
a great experience. She has
taken a load off my mind in such
tremendous ways that I can now do
the things that I have to do without
interruption, knowing that my calls
and appointments are being taken
care of. Small tasks, that can
easily pull me away from where I
need to be, have been very helpful.
For instance, I'll ask her to call a
supplier to give them a customer's
address. In the past,
something as minor as that would
have distracted me. My
Assistant, however, has all my
information so she seamlessly makes
the call, determines availability
and delivery confirmation, and then
sends me an email with the
information. If there's
anything urgent, she calls me.
This is a great service that I would
recommend to all of my business
associates, and have! Thanks,
Jeff.

"Valerie is both a team member and a
principal at Daybreak Virtual
Office, one of a hand full of firms
that provide professional
assistant/secretarial type services
to individuals and companies.
On more than one occasion as our
needs have fluctuated, Valerie has
been my right arm, handling phone
messages, maintaining a complex and
changing calendar, following through
with sometimes vague priorities
given out on the fly as I move from
one location to another. All
of these services and more that I am
not thinking of are performed with a
real commitment to doing the work
and doing it right. Even more
is what you don't see - and it
becomes apparent only over time - is
Valerie's deep and sincere caring
for her clients - as customers, yes,
and more profoundly as individuals.
It is rare to find this in a
business."

ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
"Daybreak has been a large part of
the success of DS Electric in 2009
as well as an integral part of my
strategy for 2010. I can't
count the number of times my
customers have gone out of their way
to mention the courtesy and
professionalism of 'my office.'
They give my small business the
image of being much larger, and my
customers the sense of security that
just isn't felt with a voicemail
message.
We've kept customers happy with
unprompted follow-up calls when
others seem to 'disappear after the
job is complete.' People
always apologize when I inform them
that it wasn't my wife or other
family member who took the call,
which is a common mistake. I
always say "No need to apologize, we
take it as a complement because
they're like family and take the
success of my business as seriously
as a family member would!"
Because of this dedication to my
success, far above and beyond what
would be required, I'm not only
happy to call Daybreak an integral
part of my business, but to call
Valerie and Jeff valued friends.
Thank you, Valerie, Jeff and all the
staff at Daybreak for all you've
done and continue to do."

MARKETING DIRECTOR OF A SENIOR
CITIZEN HOUSING CENTER
"The dedication of The Birches at
Chambers on a hot July day attracted
well over 200 people. A brunch
was served to senior guests and
residents and then, after the formal
presentation, a luncheon was served
to all guests. Our original
planning was optimistic with 150
anticipated attendees. So if
we didn't have a fairly accurate
RSVP count, we would not have been
prepared the overage of 75
guests.
Our
staff was strapped and I was
concerned that if the phone wasn't
answered live, there would be
unanswered questions or callers
might just hang up. Plus there
was additional information we wanted
to garner, like email addresses and
other demographic information from
callers. Daybreak Virtual
was our solution.
They provided a phone number for us
to use on our invitations.
Their staff quickly absorbed our
information. Daily spread
sheets gave us fair warning that the
count would be well over our earlier
estimates, so the catering order was
adjusted, more tables and chairs
planned for, and lots more bottled
water was purchased. And the
reports gave us lots of additional
information for our database.
Daybreak even took the initiative to
email me immediately concerning
VIP's, questions that had been
raised over and above the event
itself, and requests for
applications for our communities.
All in all, Daybreak contributed
above and beyond to an extraordinary
event for Birchez Associates."
