Key Assistants

Key Assistants (aka. KA) are known as the "face" of the company. Although your client(s) may never actually see your face, you will be their "go to" person for all needs and wants within the company. The main duties of a Key Assistant are to speak with each of their clients at least once per week, update weekly client agendas, maintain client budgets and delegate the client's work to the correct team within Best Agent Business. We ensure deadlines are met, work is satisfactory and that overall the client is happy! Key Assistants play a very important role in helping our clients understand Best Agent Business as a whole and how our teams work.

As with all jobs within Lifebushido, the Key Assistant role is flexible. However, since Key Assistant's work directly with the client it is essential that you are available during normal business hours (8:00 - 5:00 EST). We normally recommend either a chunk of hours (ie. 8:00-1:00/9:00-2:00 etc.) OR a few hours in the morning and afternoon. With this being said, we do not typically hire individuals that have full-time jobs or those that are full-time students. Also, although we are "family friendly" you will need to have a completely noise-free background during ALL of your calls with clients.

Key Assistants generally work about 20 hours per week depending on the number of clients they have. As you may have figured, the amount of work a Key Assistant does is based on the number of clients the Key Assistant has. It's estimated that for each $495 client, a Key Assistant will get about 1-2 hours of work per week. For larger subscriptions the work load may be more. Since Key Assistants normally delegate about 80% of a client's work, it can take anywhere from 3-4 months to achieve 20-25 hours/week when just working on the Key Assistant Team. If you find that you need to have immediate hours from the start and you will only be working on the Key Assistant Team, this position may not be the position for you. However, most Key Assistants also work with other Teams and find that they are both successful and happy with their hour mix.
