Lollllll I interviewed for a job on this account at BBDO several years ago, and when I asked them why the role was open, they said “the last account director cried too much on calls with our mean clients”

I have never word with Exxon, but they were a large account at McCann when I worked there, and I don’t remember the clients being especially difficult.

Correct!

I currently work for Exxon and have them as a client. We are a virtual sales team for them. I work with the dIstributors/PVL side, it’s really not bad and they have great people there that are super helpful! I really enjoy it & if you are into lubes and that’s your passion, I think you’ll be happy.

Yeah, they are dealing with a lot of allocation / supply chain issues right now, however things are looking better for the future. Focus on the fact that you’ll build great relationships, ensure that customers feel taken care of when there is problem getting the product, so that when the issues are resolved you are in a prime place relationship ship wise to sell the crap out of it. That may or may not be relevant to your position but hope it helps!

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
