Written by Annalisa Williams | December 12, 2019

Get the most out of your interactions with your account manager. Before you send that email or call, check these tips to ensure you have all the information your account manager may need to best address your question or issue.

Giving a Full Explanation of the Issue

Providing additional details can help your account manager find answers or solutions faster and improve ongoing communication. Here are some things to think about when contacting your account manager for help.

Scope Give your account manager the idea of how widespread or how many systems are impacted by the issue. Is this impacting one person’s computer or multiple? Is it a single branch or company-wide? This information gives your account manager a frame of reference and can help them narrow down where to look to resolve problems.

Screenshots A picture is worth a thousand words, so sending a few screenshots can help your account manager see what you are seeing.
