Use single ssh account for access to client account?

I would like to set up a client support system where I can use the same ssh identity to connect to all of my clients' accounts. I tried using my ssh identity that I use to connect to the main reseller...

I am a reseller and would like to set up password-less ssh access to my client accounts. I can do this for my clients that I do not provide hosting but for those that I do, using my identity results in a login to my site, not my clients — again, only for those clients on r4-chicago.

For example:

What I want:
1) ssh [email protected] results in an ssh shell at my main reseller account
2) ssh [email protected] results in an ssh shell at myclientsite.com

What actually happens:
1) ssh [email protected] results in an ssh shell at my main reseller account
2) ssh [email protected] results in an ssh shell at my main reseller account NOT

I hope that clears up what I want, and what is actually happening.

Copying my key to all sites results in a login shell to the main site.
