In the digital age, companies are increasingly turning to Account Executives to guide them through the rapidly changing areas of online business.
Account Executive Jobs are sales representatives that act as the link between a company and its clients and have genuine expertise in nurturing client relationships. The account executive's job involves direct responsibility for the dealings with one or more high volume customers or clients (referred to as accounts).
In time, you’ll progress towards management of many named accounts and ambitious executives will understand how to engage with key stakeholders to take the client into new and often productive areas of sales, marketing and advertising.
A mantra followed by many working in key customer account management, 'under-promise and over-deliver' to strategically add value for client companies. When a project is delivered on time and on budget, this might lead to the executive getting paid for new sales as long as they match requisite retention goals.
