Account Manager (School Sales)

ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS TEAM

Our "Schools" team has three sub-teams:

1. Sales (new business sales) - They bring Albert to new school customers and find opportunities for customer expansions. They are measured by how much new business they win in a year.

2. Account Management (renewal sales) - They work with school administrators to renew customer contracts, plan implementations, and drive expanded vision for partner organizations. They are measured by annual customer retention.

3. Adoption Management - They work with teachers to support their day-to-day use of Albert and deliver professional development training. They are measured by license utilization and teacher engagement.

These sub-teams work closely together to provide an exceptional experience for school administrators and teachers.
