YOUR LIFE AS A HVACR ACCOUNT MANAGER

As a HVACR Account Manager, you research and develop a customer knowledge base, map opportunities into zones, categorize accounts, and strategically allocate time. You initiate contact with customers and then develop relationships with those who make the business decisions. As you listen and observe, you discover customer needs and propose product and service programs that meet their wishes. When closing a sale, you collaborate with customers to define the next steps and coach them through the buying process.

While developing a trusted business advisor relationship with customers, you provide insights about the market, industry, supplier marketing programs, and other available opportunities. You work together to plan and forecast sales, and you regularly ask for feedback. When necessary, you review and adjust forecasts and programs. You participate with management in updating territory plans, forecasting targets, and setting goals.

In support of our customers, you communicate internally by providing customer information to our branch team. You proactively follow up on leads or any issues uncovered by our branch team. As the main point of contact for resolving customer issues, you ensure our internal departments meet customer expectations. On a regular basis, you input customer interactions into our customer relationship management (CRM) tool and provide reports to management.

You maintain and grow your knowledge of new and existing products and inventory through training, studying, and researching. As a representative of our company, you attend trade association meetings, industry events, open houses, or other events at the customer's request. You find great satisfaction in closing sales deals and developing business relationships along the way!
