Perhaps you're hesitant to hire a Client Account Manager because you don't have the time to train someone OR you've hired an Account Manager before, and it hasn't gone well.

BUT not having a dedicated Client Account Manager in your agency could hinder your growth!

In today's episode, we're chatting about the value of having an experienced Client Account Manager in your agency.

'Experienced' being the keyword.

You need someone who already has an in-depth marketing understanding AND knows how to build client relationships 🤓

A Client Account Manager who meets this sweet spot of having technical marketing expertise coupled with a friendly personality - is when you're really going to save time and money!

The right Client Account Manager not only streamlines processes to make the agency more efficient (so you can scale 📈) but can also have a big impact on client retention!

Are you addicted to being busy?

Do you feel a compulsive need to fill up your schedule? Do you become anxious at the thought of slowing down and not getting things done?

You're nodding your head along, aren't you? ✋

We see this SOOOO frequently with agency owners — they think that once they hire a Client Account Manager, they'll finally get to the other things in their business, but they just get busy with other tasks.

In this episode, we're identifying who YOU need inside your agency—an Account Manager or Project Manager.

Simply put, an Account Manager is responsible for keeping the client happy. How do they do that?

→ By being super proactive with communication and project updates.

→ Providing strong hand-holding for the entire process.

→ Keeping the team aware of project stages and where the client is at.

... all while ensuring everything is operating smoothly from both sides.

You're right— there's a lot of overlap between Account Managers and Project Managers.
