Standard Program Overview

Account management is a defined strategy that businesses follow to manage, grow, and keep their best customers. Unfortunately, most organizations do not implement a defined and measurable account planning methodology until they have lost one or more of their “best” accounts. Our Account Management program will help you define the difference between a large account and a key or strategic account. We then provide you with a roadmap to oversee the account, manage the business continuity, find new sales opportunities, and improve your customer relationships while achieving mutual value. Individual modules can be delivered to territory sales representatives who always have one or more “important” customers that they cannot afford to lose.

Our program is 100% customizable to fit your sales team’s needs and we don’t just tell you what to do, we tell you how to do it as well.
