I’ve recently switched to account management from digital marketing and I’m really enjoying it so far. As someone who’s just starting out, I’d love to hear any advice you may have as I continue my journey in account management. Thank you in advance!

So many things! And a lot of these can be applied to more than this. Never stop learning and continue to stay curious, being able to stay flexible is so important. Also set clear expectations, not just for your accounts, but for yourself too. It goes so far to just mean what you say and say what you mean!

Does anyone freeze with deadlines, and if so what works for you? Whenever I have a deadline my brain freezes and refuses to work.

I think this is because all of my deadlines are internal and I’ve never had a partner look at anything immediately after a deadline. This is affecting my work obviously - any tips would be useful and appreciated!

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.
