Many companies today hire employees to manage high profile customers or partners. Often called Account Managers, the primary goals of these team members are to support satisfaction and loyalty with key partners, work toward shared objectives and, ultimately, grow or expand the partnerships to benefit their business.

This is a basic course for aspiring or new Account Managers to learn the foundational skills needed to manage external partners. We will NOT be covering advanced tactics or strategies.

We’ll begin by exploring the best ways to start your partnerships off on the right foot, including establishing clear goals, as well as boundaries, to guide your relationships. We’ll then move into the best ways to build your partnerships through different forms of interaction, including suggestions for language to use in each of these interactions. Last, we’ll walk through a few examples of conflict you’ll likely face with partners. Each scenario includes a case study, giving you an opportunity to apply your new skills to a real-world example.
