The Account Manager is packed with the latest sales industry news and trends and is aimed to be an invaluable resource to account managers at all levels across all industry sectors. 

The Account Manager – A Definition: Tasked with ensuring that a company’s accounts are maintained and increasing the annual spend of the account by introducing added value services and new products.  Account management jobs vary from business to business and it is not unheard of in large corporate businesses for an Account Manager to be solely responsible for just a single account.  Normally an Account Manager has a portfolio of accounts and has a sales target and key performance indicators for increasing account spend just the same as a business development manager or sales engineer/sales executive.

In industry sectors such as FMCG, Media-Advertising and Pharmaceutical there are often an entire account management team looking after just one single account.  These are normally led by an Account Director or National Account Manager with a hierarchy of Key Account Managers, Account Managers and Account Executives supporting and reporting into them. 

Whilst account management can on the face of it appear glamorous it is first and foremost a sales job.  Yes, there is some degree of client entertainment and corporate hospitality but the responsibility for maintaining a company account can be huge.  Both basic salaries and the potential to earn can range enormously from company to company and industry sector to sector.
