Junior Account Manager (BOL)

With my open attitude I discover what the customer wants and close the best deal

You'll deal with companies, often in large quantities, such as wholesalers or online stores. You'll discover exactly what customers want and strike a good deal. That's your most important task as a junior account manager.

You'll discuss your client's needs with them and determine whether your company's products align with them. You'll also research market trends, other key market insights, and competitors' activities.

This way, you offer each client a solution tailored to their specific needs. You maintain constant contact and visit clients frequently. As a junior account manager, you always maintain a professional appearance. Your patience, understanding, and strong communication skills are also essential every day. Can you close the deal? After this training at Summa Business, you will!

Shortened route

Do you already have a Commercial Assistant diploma? Then you can proceed directly to the second year. The program will then take two years instead of three.
