When restoration contractors begin a partnership with One Claim Solutions, one of the first things that happens is they are introduced to their account manager, sometimes also referred to as their Contractor Success Manager. Account managers play a fundamental role in their contractor’s relationship with OCS. Here’s a look into a day in the life of an OCS account manager and how their work empowers their restoration contractors to succeed.
“Account manager” is one of those position titles that shows up a lot across different industries and can mean different things depending on who you ask. So what exactly does it mean to be an account manager at OCS? Here’s how Stephen Smith, a longtime OCS account manager, sums it up: “We’re the go-between between the contractor and OCS.”
Being a reliable point of contact for contractors is one of the most important parts of an account manager’s job. “To have someone that a contractor can text or call.. and know that they’re going to get a response–it’s huge.” Maintaining strong lines of communication sets OCS and its contractors up for a successful relationship.
The relationships that One Claim’s account managers build with their contractors play a significant role in the success of their partnership. For many companies, their customers are just a faceless number. Stephen loves how it’s not like that at OCS. Instead, OCS prioritizes building genuine relationships with its contractors.
“Knowing them is important to being able to best serve them,” Stephen explains. Every restoration contractor has their own experience, strengths, challenges, and circumstances. By taking the time to build genuine connections with our contractors, OCS is able to tailor our services to best fit our contractors’ needs, leading to better results all around
OCS promises three things to the restoration contractors we partner with:
It’s the responsibility of account managers to ensure OCS delivers on these promises. To do this, they keep an eye on performance metrics and communicate with internal team members as needed. Account managers also generate performance reports and relay them to their contractors so that contractors have accurate, up-to-date insight into their claims collections.
Account managers streamline communication between restoration contractors and OCS at every step. Many different OCS team members behind the scenes play a role in contractor success. Instead of our contractors having to remember all of these roles, they can just turn to their account manager with messages and requests. Then, the account manager communicates and delegates work to specialized team members within the company as needed.
