If he gave the client 15 seconds, that's another story. Agreed - a good account person should be an indispensable partner who is at the top of his/her client's mind. But I also think it is important to facilitate relationships with the rest of the agency team and not be a control freak. I like to connect everyone (almost) with my clients. The developers should explain why we are pushing Drupal. The designer should explain why concept A is recommended. The strategist should explain the implications of the customer research. 4 strong relationships are always better than 1. I love it and don’t think it is too harsh.

He said, "I'll make you a bet. I'll pick up the phone right now, call the client and ask him how our people are doing. If he mentions you positively in the first 60 seconds, I'll give you the promotion you want. If he doesn't, you're fired." Needless to say, she didn't take the bet and quit shortly thereafter. It sounds harsh, but as an account person, isn't this what our value is? Eric,

Outcomes matter, even though pricing based on hours has been convenient and standard practice for a long time. Hopefully as the future of work evolves, so will the way we value and charge for what we do. Relationships are the foundation -- and somethings are nearly impossible to price.
