Commercial Account Manger-Next Level?
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:49 am
Hello! I have been a Commercial Account Manager for the last 15+ years now. I started as my office's receptionist, then personal lines csr, and now I run the commercial department with a book of $8M in P&C and $30M+ in Bonding.
While working I got my BS in Marketing and MBA in Management. I always look to learn new information, everything from the latest strategies with marketing with social media to simple highlights with Excel. I also hustle and try to sell and grow my own book. (Not very easy without lead lists, all our business is referral based).
This is where I need HELP. I am feeling like I hit the upper level of what I can do. I feel like I am beyond what this position is, yet I do not feel as if I know the ability to say becoming a Marketing Director at a large carrier. I have the motivation, loyalty and drive to do so much more. To provide more for my family, to accomplish so much more in my career. Flat out, I am restless in my current position.
I am reaching out because I want to know-Is it possible for a Commercial Account Manager to become more? And if so, what? How? Any advice! What is the next level in this industry after service/sales...
