Your essential guide to Account Management from Bigrock People Performance Solutions.
Account Management is the management of an organisation’s relationships with its long term clients or corporate customers. Account Managers are responsible for managing existing client relationships; for identifying ongoing opportunities, generating further sales and ensuring the client is delighted with the service they receive.
Account Managers can be assigned a single client or several clients who their company has, or hopes to have, a long term, profitable relationship with. It is the Account Manager’s job to build and nurture these relationships; to understand their clients’ needs and requirements, plan how to meet these needs and, as a result, generate sales for the business.
