Building Winning Key Account Strategies
People familiar with challenges of large account management would agree that building winning strategies is a significant challenge for many account teams. Despite new ways of acquiring and sharing customer information that comes with available web-based tools, the capacity of teams to develop and articulate a clear account strategy is still lacking in many companies. Account plans often look like depositories of information rather than plans for action.
Future Map has developed a process of building and driving sales actions that is continuous and transparent. Teams define a clear vision for an account and challenges in critically areas, then set objectives to reach and map individual actions of team members.
