The Position & Who You Are
As a Key Account Manager, you will be responsible for managing 60-100 client relationships within an assigned geographic portfolio. Some of your clients will be new while others may have been a PCCA member for several years. You will work with your client on a regular basis to understand their goals, aligning them with the necessary resources to achieve them and guiding their adoption and success within their PCCA membership. Along the way, you will get to know PCCA Clinical and membership offerings incredibly well and help your clients fully maximize all benefits and services. Most importantly, you will focus on maintaining market share and identify revenue growth opportunities.
In working with your clients, you will find that no two of them are the same. In the morning, you could be working with a pharmacy staff member who is responsible for all sales and marketing functions for the respective pharmacy. In the afternoon, you could be talking to the Pharmacist or Compounding Lab Manager who is responsible for all pharmacy purchasing decisions and product/service offerings.
Your day-to-day is a mix of proactive and reactive work, and KAMs have a lot of autonomy in managing their “book of business”. The strategic, proactive work includes a variety of outreach through face-to-face strategic meetings, connection through video conferencing platforms, phone conversations, SMS and email with important client stakeholders. A main area of focus relates to progress, make strategic and tactical relationships, and keep them up to date on the latest and greatest features from PCCA. The reactive work runs the gamut from questions about invoices, to “how to” questions about their membership access, to conducting health checks that ensure your customers are seeing value from the organization. You will also partner with several PCCA departments that have an impact on a product/service/clinical reference that relates to overall revenue growth. Overall, you will continuously manage existing revenue streams, as well as utilize business intelligence tools and a sales funnel to identify new areas of growth.
