What is it?
Effective key account management involves so much than just training senior reps. What actually is a key account? Does everyone agree on the definition? Should they all be treated equally? If not, how to prioritise scarce resources? And then, what skills do key account managers really need?
Every organisation is unique, and therefore every key account programme will be different. We can help you with a mix of
- Key account definition
- Categorisation and prioritisation of your key account portfolio
- Organisational alignment behind key account strategy
- Development and deployment of sustainable key account planning
- Custom training for key account managers
Drawing on the Selling Interactions sales best practices database, you can be sure your programme will be fit for purpose, and actually deliver sustainable results.
