Account Manager – Spring, TX
Location Requirement: Work from Home, but be based in or near Spring, The Woodlands, or North Houston, TX. Must be within a 1 hour driving commute to Spring, TX, and willing to meet in person regularly—this role thrives on boots‑on‑the‑ground relationship‑building.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a driven Account Manager with serious Promotional Merchandising, service provider DNA to grow and strengthen one of our key Fortune 500 accounts in the North Houston region. This isn’t a sit‑behind‑your‑desk role. You’ll need to be local, energized by face‑to‑face connections, and ready to build something big.

What You’ll Do

Identify, pitch, and close new opportunities within a large enterprise account.

Personally and consistently build and deepen rapport, deliver samples, and host onsite meetings with client stakeholders — face‑to‑face relationship building is key.

Leverage Salesforce to manage your time strategically — time‑blocking to ensure urgent administrative tasks are handled without losing focus on activities that drive the business forward.

Own your pipeline, forecasting, and revenue deliverables — you’ll be responsible for setting the pace and ensuring outcomes align with projections.

Collaborate cross‑functionally with marketing, merchandising, and product teams to bring creative ideas to life.

Build and present custom account strategies that capture attention and align with client needs — overall being the SME for all promotional merchandising needs.

Monitor account health, drive upsell opportunities and continuously optimize services to exceed expectations. You will be responsible for not only maintaining revenue but also identifying growth opportunities and growing revenues for client and for BDA.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You

Live in the Spring, TX area and love to visit your client often.

Have experience and enthusiasm for B2B sales and driving account revenue.

Are deeply comfortable learning and building trust within Fortune 500 environments.

Know how to ask the right questions and can pitch creatively, and then can give an overall summary of the takeaways and next‑steps.

Have a track record of growing accounts through strategic partnerships.

Possess deep knowledge and experience in promotional merchandise industries.

Thrive when outside in the field — making connections and building trust as the subject‑matter expert your clients rely on.
