account manager
Definition
An account manager is a person at a company who serves as the main point of contact for a specific client or group of clients. They are responsible for maintaining the relationship, handling requests, and making sure the client gets what was promised under any agreement.
Example
If your business hires a marketing agency, they might assign you an account manager named Sarah who handles all your questions, invoices, and project updates.
Watch Out
When you sign a contract with a vendor, confirm whether the account manager has the legal authority to make promises on the company's behalf, because verbal commitments from the wrong person may not be binding.
