A WebmasterWorld thread named Yahoo Search Marketing Account Rep - U Got One? asks what it takes on a financial level, to earn the luxury of having a dedicated Yahoo! Search Marketing representative for your accounts. AtBatt explains there are different tiers to the program, including;
4 tiers of service based on spend.
Normal <$1000 a month
Gold >$1000 a month <$5000
Platinum >$5000 a month <$10000
Diamond >$10000 a month with National Brand Recognition
AtBatt, who says he used to be a Yahoo rep, explains that "in order to retain a dedicated advertising rep, you must quality for their Platinum tier of service." That equates to at least $60,000 per year spend with YSM.

Update: I knew it couldn't be that simple, a Yahoo! representative responded to the thread saying;
