MORE THAN A MEETING...

The 2020 Annual Meeting of the Strategic Account Management Roundtable promises to be more than a meeting.

Video Portraying the Strategic Account Manager of the Future

At the meeting, we will review a video that illustrates how advances in Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and Robotics will change service models and the demands on Strategic Account Managers going forward.  This video is intended for distribution to Account Managers, and company leaders.  The video developed with input from Roundtable members at its 2019 meeting will communicate the central role of Strategic Account Managers who orchestrate the delivery of service in consultation with plan advisors and Client Relationship Managers.  Retirement Plan Service Providers represented at the meeting can leverage this video to introduce new talent acquisition and development strategy at retirement plan service providers.

Joint Video Conference with the Client Relationship Management Leadership Roundtable

Involving Client Relationship Management Leadership in the production of the video portraying the Strategic Account Manager of the Future can go a long way toward agreeing on a common direction for service models in the age of AI, Robotics, and Automated Assistants.   The Client Relationship Management Roundtable also is embarking on initiatives that require input from heads of Strategic Account Management:Second edition of the Client Relationship Management Leadership Sentiment survey.

• Second edition of the Client Relationship Management Leadership Sentiment survey
• Formulation of a charter
• Suggestion Box on Client Notes Management
• Market testing of initiative to motivate employers to act on good intentions

This Joint Session in Congress will spur ideas, propose solutions, and advance the production and dissemination of the video created at the behest of the Strategic Account Management Roundtable.  We propose to hold this joint session Tuesday February 11, 2020 at 2 p.m. Eastern / 11:00 a.m. Pacific

Meeting Objective

The Strategic Account Management Roundtable is a forum for Strategic Account Management Officers at retirement plan service provider firms to exchange views and opinions about the general direction of the business and the strategic account management function.

Peer discussions focus on future trends in the industry, strategic management of accounts to meet company objectives (relationships with plan sponsors, their consultants, advisors, client relationship managers, TPAs, and operational units). Key topics attendees bring up in the registration process are discussed in depth to expose the full range of industry practices and service models.

At the 2020 Annual Meeting, we will review a video on the Strategic Account Manager of the Future possibly entitled: "What am I going to do now?" We will also discuss use cases for this content and identify appropriate deployment strategies. 

Topics for discussion at peer roundtable sessions consist of attendee suggestions gathered in the weeks leading up to the meeting.

Suggested Topics

• Robotics, Cybersecurity, fraud management and service models
• Regulatory impact on our industry
• Advisor and consultant business practices
