Key Responsibilities

Account managers are the main point of contact between a company and its clients. Their role is to strengthen customer relationships and build them into long-term partnerships that drive business goals for both parties.

Within a customer success context, the scope of an account manager is slightly more limited than it used to be prior to the appearance of CS. With the goal of simply helping customers always in mind, account managers handle everything involving direct communication with the client, making sure all interactions go smoothly from a customer experience point of view.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Being customers’ liaison for all official business interactions, helping push client concerns, issues, and needs toward resolution by facilitating efficient communication and aiding the resolution process as much as possible.
  • Collaborating with customer success to create long-lasting business connections, strengthening all customer relationships and building them into true business partnerships.
  • Maintaining client records, keeping and sending periodic updates, and having an overview of account contract information, including the best times to reach out for renewals and account updates.
  • Understanding the products and services the business offers to better ensure their adequate delivery to customers.
  • Assisting sales and marketing with strategic plans and any requests and materials from the customers’ side.
  • Monitoring customer activity, creating and contributing to reports, and meeting with stakeholders on a recurring basis to improve customer understanding, drive business, and discuss areas of improvement.
  • Assisting customer success in monitoring for upsell and cross-sell opportunities and discussing any findings with the CSM or Head of Sales.
