In a competitive market, not all customers are created equal. The survival and growth of an organization often depend on a handful of high-priority accounts. This 3-day strategic program is designed to transition sales professionals from transactional selling to long-term, partnership-based account management. Participants will learn how to rigorously identify and segment key accounts, map complex stakeholder webs, and design comprehensive account plans that align with the customer’s long-term strategic goals. The course also emphasizes the internal leadership required to coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional value to the organization’s most important clients.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Apply data-driven criteria to identify, segment, and prioritize high-value key accounts.
Construct detailed stakeholder maps to navigate complex buying centers and develop tailored relationship strategies.
Design and execute a "Live" Account Plan that identifies growth opportunities and anticipates competitive threats.
