Onboarding

Your Account Manager's First 30 Days

Every rep follows the same structured ramp, so you know what's happening each week.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and training

    We learn your product, buyers and sales process, then build your Account Manager's playbook: talk tracks, objection handling and what counts as a win.

  2. Week 2

    Practice and go live

    Role-play sessions with our coaches until the pitch sounds natural, then first live activity with your sign off.

  3. Week 3

    Review and refine

    We review calls and results with you and tighten the targeting, messaging and handoffs.

  4. Week 4

    Report and plan

    Your first monthly review. We agree targets for next month and whether to add more reps.

FAQ

Account Manager Questions

Can an account manager handle our most important clients?

Yes, at Tier 3. Many clients start their account manager on smaller accounts, then move larger ones over once they're confident.

How is account management different from customer success?

Account management focuses on the commercial relationship: renewals, upsells and contracts. Customer success focuses on onboarding and making sure customers get value. Some teams combine the two.

Will the account manager work in our tools?

Yes. They use your CRM, help desk and communication tools, with the access you choose to give them.

How many accounts can one account manager handle?

It depends on account size and how much contact each one needs. We'll suggest a realistic book size on the discovery call.
