FAQs
FAQs on hiring a Account Manager
What's the difference between Support, Core, and Advanced?
Each tier increases scope and ownership. Support handles execution tasks. Core owns the full function. Advanced adds strategic input and multi-account management.
Does the Account Manager make strategic decisions?
No. Operators execute within defined scope. Strategy stays with your leadership team, that's the boundary that keeps it working.
How fast can I get started?
Most operators are matched and introduced within days. After onboarding, they're producing within their first week.
What if the operator isn't the right fit?
Beam includes a replacement guarantee. If the match doesn't work, we replace the operator at no additional cost.
Do I need to provide training?
Operators arrive agency-trained. You provide access to your systems and SOPs, Beam handles the rest.
Is there a long-term contract?
90-day initial term, then 30 days' notice with no penalties. The first 90 days exist to give the placement a fair shot; after that, you stay because it's working, not because you have to.
