I started as a Sales VA for Fat Loss Factor where we generate upsell for existing customers. I was then promoted in a month, asked extra hours to do admin job after. The client noticed my skills and promoted me to become his assistant manager which lasted for almost 2years.
I was well trained; he is a business adviser and a speaker in Pensacola FL. I've learned the hard way from US business cultures & ethics. The first lesson is to make your boss' life easier for him by reminding him meeting schedules and task needs to be done. He trained me the importance of updating current task so that he would know if he can bug me on what needs to be done first if there’s something that came up. The importance of communication and transparency to achieve objectives may it be something you don't fully understand or certain goals he wishes to achieve, the key is to ask and communicate consistently.
I constantly reminded him about our daily tasks.
Handled each project he may have with his partners in the US.
I handled 3 accounts at the same time; Fat Loss Factor, Safe Smart Security System & Magic CA. There were 5-10 agents each account. I was basically the local manager here in the Philippines.
