What does an account manager actually do in an agency?

In this video I explain the two different agency account manager roles and the many hats they wear.

If you'd like to become a better account manager and shift from being an 'order taker' to trusted advisor for your clients, check out my Account Accelerator programme here: https://accountmanagementskills.com/t...

The programme is ideal for ambitious agency account managers keen to improve their consultancy skills, increase their confidence with clients and who want to be seen as a client’s trusted advisor and not a reactive order taker or pushy salesperson.

The programme will give your agency a repeatable account management system to retain and grow accounts. Prior to joining, I meet all participants to check the programme is a good fit.

Other account managers say the programme has helped them increase their confidence dealing with clients: https://vimeo.com/696159619
