What does an Account Executive do?

An Account Executive builds relationships with new clients and manages relationships with existing ones. These people are expert communicators serving as point of contact for clients and internal company teams, often interacting with both daily. Elements of the Account Executive role include planning and coordination of account activity, generating sales opportunities, and reporting status of accounts on a regular basis.

For a thriving Account Executive, the position involves more than the nurture of existing accounts. It’s navigating the accounts methodically to explore and create untapped opportunities. To be a successful Account Executive, it’s important to have a high level of intellectual curiosity to identify gaps and growth potential where others miss them.
