What does an Account Manager do?
Primarily, serve our existing customers with new signage, new locations, or service. After decades in business, the vast majority of our customers are repeat customers. But Texas is growing, so we get a good amount of new business interest as well. Our Account Managers travel to the customer site and meet with the customer to understand their needs, location, get an initial survey, and write a scope of work. From there our team will produce art, estimates, and finally a proposal. The Account Manager will deliver the proposal and ask for the business.
