How to Ace Your Top Account Manager Award Application

Step 1: Getting Started—Enter Your Information

Let’s start with the basics. You’ll need to provide some key details about yourself and your company.

Your Privacy Matters: Rest assured, any information you provide will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating and awarding the Top Account Manager Award by the Facility Services Alliance. Your details won’t be shared with anyone outside of this process.

Step 2: Wow Us with Your Over-Delivery Stories

We all know that going above and beyond is what makes a good account manager great. This section is where you get to show us how you’ve done just that:

• Pick Your Best Moments: Think of times when you really exceeded your customers’ expectations. Maybe you solved a problem that no one else could, delivered ahead of schedule, or added extra value in a way they didn’t expect.

• Show the Impact: Don’t forget to explain the results. Did your extra effort lead to a long-term contract, a referral, or a glowing review? Share the outcomes that made your customers stick with you.

• Keep It Clear: Just tell your story like it is. Focus on what you did and how it made a difference for your customer.

Step 3: Line Up Your Customer Advocates

We love hearing your stories, but just like a picture is worth a thousand words, your customers’ feedback is worth its weight in gold—literally! For you, it could be worth a few gold bars in the form of $5,000 cash. Here’s how to make sure we get the best feedback:

• Choose Wisely: Think of the customers who’ve benefited most from your work—those who’d gladly sing your praises and help you shine.

• Reach Out First: It’s a good idea to let them know we might be in touch and make sure they’re on board with providing feedback.

• Double-Check Details: Ensure you have their correct names, company names, and the most reliable contact information (email and phone) so we can connect with them.

Step 4: Hit Submit with Confidence
