Description

This course is about infusing you with the most current and relevant information about the account management profession, client management and what it takes to be successful.
The Account Manager or Key Account Manager is considered part of the sales team of a company, but they aren't your standard sales people. Account management is not about volume sales or fast talking sales tactics. It's about earning trust and building authentic connections. It's about relationship management, communication, problem solving, partnership and collaboration. The better you become at these traits, the happier your clients will be and the more your career and pocketbook will grow!
This course focuses heavily on the interpersonal skills required to nail these traits and hit the ground running. We'll be diving into how to build relationships as an account manager, ways to problem solve with clients and pitfalls for avoiding common mistakes that set others back. We'll discuss proven ways of building trust and tactics for understanding your clients and their goals to set you way ahead of the pack!
I am an MBA educated, account management professional with over 10 years of real-world experience in various sized organizations and industries. In this course, I remove the theory and give you a comprehensive and relevant insight into what you can actually expect in this role.
