Top 10 Account Management Mistakes

If you're an account management person, there are many potential mistakes you can make. Here they are:

  1. Forwarding an internal correspondence to your client rather than writing a fresh e-mail, enabling them to read your internal back-and-forths
  2. Lying to your client, but not getting caught
  3. Telling your client that since their budget is so small, you can't dedicate that much time to service them
  4. Being so intolorable to work with that your colleagues quit one by one
  5. Badmouthing a client, thinking that they're on mute, when in fact they're not
  6. Lying to your client, and getting caught
  7. Putting your account in the red
  8. Getting your agency fired from an account because of something you did (or didn't do), then costing the jobs of your colleagues
  9. Getting your agency sued by a client, resulting in substantial losses, causing the company to shutter its doors and costing many jobs
  10. Giving your client any of the following as ways to contact you: your home phone number, your cell phone number, your screenname
