What does Account Management mean to your program?
According to Indeed, Account Management is "the process of managing relationships with clients.” The goal of an Account Manager is to “engage with existing clients and learn their needs, then determine how the company can best meet those needs."
But is this truly still the case? We dove into this question and gathered feedback from travel buyers, account managers, and operations leaders, supported by independent insights from FESTIVE ROAD, our latest report opens the debate to the rest of you.
Where do you stand?
👉Account Management is a strategic driver. They are the ultimate knowledge hub; without them, your program would struggle. They’re worth the money, as they help you reach your goals and objectives.
👉Account Management is more of a helpdesk. They rolled up their sleeves during the pandemic, and they’re still largely focused on managing tickets to drive operational efficiency.
