Be ruthless w/your time - but at the same time, when you "switch off", have a hobby! Whatever that is that fulfills you - family, friends, xyz activity, or just relaxing - whatever it is that floats your boat, ensure you prioritize that highly. Without that balance, you will "tip over" or "implode" as Matthew McConaughey famously told Leonardo DiCaprio in "Wolf of Wall Street", or as Mr Miyagi espoused "balance" to Daniel LaRusso in "The Karate Kid"!

To effectively handle stress and pressure in your account manager role, focus on prioritizing tasks, practicing time management, and communicating openly with your team to ensure clear expectations and support

I have gained valuable experience in handling stress and pressure as an account manager , my strategies was; Self-care as a priority: Taking care of your physical and mental well-being equips you to deal with challenges more effectively. Setting clear expectations about your workload and capacity is crucial. Prioritize quality over quantity to ensure successful project delivery. Refusal to work under excessive stress: Recognizing your limits and advocating for yourself is a sign of strength and helps prevent burnout. Focus on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Celebrate successes, big or small. Develop healthy coping mechanisms: Exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, and hobbies can all help manage stress.

1. Be clear about your boundaries. Make sure all stakeholders know your work schedule and the times you are available. Don't turn your life into a stream of work messages, alerts and calls. 2. During working hours - work at 100%, during non-working hours - recover and rest. Please remember the importance of alternating rest, work and rest to maintain balance and optimal rhythm.

The best way to manage a large geography and account list is creating a call cycle with clear routing. For example, this could be a 4, 8 or 12-week call cycle based on the target frequency you need to meet. Utilize a mapping program to help determine your call routing. Prioritize your accounts in each week of your call cycle and schedule ahead. Reach out to your most important customers first and schedule your other meetings around them. Flexibility is key! No two weeks will be the same, however, try and create standing/recurring appointments whenever possible. Having a clear call cycle will help to keep you on track and minimize the overwhelming feeling of managing your account list!

Being organized and detail-oriented have helped me better visualize my full workload. I regularly stick to these tips to help manage my time: 1. Jot down tasks as they come in so that nothing's missed. 2. Determine what tasks are urgent or important, and what can be delayed, based on your business' priorities. 3. Set calendar reminders and block off time to work on deliverables, to clearly visualize upcoming deadlines each week/month.

1. Like a bird to fly and a fish to swim, it is important for an account manager to plan his working day, week, month, etc. Additionally, an account manager can help stakeholders get their calendar in order. 2. Planning and calendaring are important habits. The easiest way to get started is to take 3-5 minutes and plan your work day in the morning.

1. Flexibility helps plants sway in the wind without breaking; for an account manager, flexibility is also an important skill that allows you to effectively respond to certain sudden factors. 2. Learn not to panic in unexpected situations, but to look for new opportunities. A good approach is to use the gusts of wind to propel the sail rather than rowing into the wind.

1. Promise only what you are willing to deliver & keep your promises. 2. During each iteration of communication (in messenger, task manager, etc.), before sending a message, carefully analyze whether this message is really necessary, for whom it is, what are its prerequisites, what is its purpose, etc. 3. Be simple, clear, concise, respectful, caring, friendly. When communicating, pay attention to tone and intonation. Treat your colleagues the way you want them to treat you.

1. Organize yourself a quiet, comfortable, ventilated workspace, a comfortable chair for your back and a desk for your computer/laptop. 2. Follow a daily routine, stick to your schedule. Set aside specific times during the day to eat meals and take short walks outside. 3. While eating, do not sit in front of your laptop and put your phone away. 4. Do small 3-5-minute light exercises throughout the day to relieve stress on the spine and improve blood circulation.

There’s no “one right way” to do it, every deal is different and you will need to be flexible in what needs to be done, to take care of yourself. The first thing to have in mind is that you can “only control what is under your control”, the rest is organization, planning and use your time effectively. If you don’t have access to a decision maker, things can be more difficult but it’s not unmanageable. Be transparent with your prospect/customer, explain to them the timing that you plan for the deal and if they can’t commit to it, make a joint plan to have better visibility and a road to close that both can commit within the respective organizations. Exercise, enjoy your family and hobbies, closing pressure will always be there, anyway!

Plan, plan plan. To Do lists keep me on track. I sometimes change my methods to work for me at that moment, sometimes it's writing it all down on paper so it's out of my head and I can get satisfaction from physically ticking off a task. Other times I will leverage software to keep me on track. But ultimately, find what works for you, no one knows how your mind works better than you do.
