experience hiring an account manager?

by a professional from Colby College

May 17,2023

Hi all, has anyone been involved with hiring account managers for your company? We're hiring now and trying to decide which direction to go (experience vs junior/home grown).

If so, what skills did you look for? Did you go for someone with experience or someone junior and train? Avg deal size? 

Thanks!

If this is a sales role, here's a blog post I wrote. Account Manager is a broad term. Happy to chat if you send a DM. https://patrickdichter.com/how-to-hire-a-profitable-salesperson/
