Account managers can act on behalf of brokers to perform almost all their tasks. The only thing that account managers cannot do is add other account managers in the system. They can perform client-specific operations that a broker performs, such as creating a proposal, adding classes, running reports, onboarding clients, facilitating enrollments, etc. They can also send emails and receive client-specific notifications. The account managers can perform these actions only for the clients added by them or by the brokers they are associated with.
Both Brokers and Sales Reps can add account managers.
This feature allows you to add and manage account managers who can help you with all client-related tasks.
