helping busy key account managers get results

key account Management Mastery training

An effective and practical key account management training program that helps your team learn the skills and strategies to develop influential relationships, grow client revenue and reduce churn.

Clients are your most strategic assets. Don't lose them.

Key accounts are not just your biggest, but your best customers who’ll generate long term revenue growth and strategic partnerships.

You can't afford to lose them.

Customer retention is cheaper and more profitable to execute than acquisition. But account growth, renewals and advocacy are difficult for indirect suppliers when the procurement focus is simply spend management.

To avoid being commoditised, you must shift your clients’ focus away from cost control and toward collaboration.

Account managers are the "key" to unlock opportunities
