I'm in hiring and training my first assistant. The young lady will be part-time and I will allow her to do some work at the office and some from home. The basic duties include data entry, filing, answering calls, cold calls, tracking follow-ups, writing offers, prepping mailers, scheduling, seo and online marketing. Since she will be part-time and work part from home I want to put quantitative goals to measure her progress for pay. She will get paid about $150 a week.
Do any of you have quantitative weekly goals for your assistant and what would you consider reasonable? I.E. 200 entries in database a week, post on Craigslist at least 5 times a day, prep 100 mailers a week, etc. I want to create a standard and add or subtract other duties as they arise.

Hi, those are realistic goals.
I have assistant that does pretty much the same thing, and also posts about 25-30 bandit signs a week...So I pay her all together 200 a week, sometimes I give her a bonus to motivate her. I had to fire 4 in order to find her. Just keep and eye on her and make sure the work is being done. I drive around the areas where she posts my signs on early Saturday morning to see that its been done on Friday night.

Most of her time is spent calling fsbo and following up with lead sheets and setting my appointments. With the lead sheets, she brings me completed with all the questions answered. . Also, doing my mailers. She updates my buyers list, and scrapes my mailing list as well. She gives me weekly updates on what she has done. She orders the bandit signs and writes on them. I built a strong trust with her, sometimes she really goes above and beyond for me.
