Identifying accounts with the greatest potential for growth, developing strategies to grow them, building essential customer relationships, and communicating value you can bring to customers are all challenges of growing your key accounts.
At the same time, selling more to existing accounts is one of the most profitable ways to grow sales.
With RAIN Group Key Account Management training, your team will learn a proven process for key account planning to systematically grow their accounts.
In the video to the right, Jason Murray, RAIN Group's Practice Director in APAC, shares how our Key Account Management program will teach your team a proven process to systematically grow accounts.
Strong customer relationships lead to repeat business, account growth, referrals, and greater margin and revenue. Your account managers will learn how to strengthen their relationships and protect accounts from competition.
Identifying additional value you can bring to customers and communicating this value is at the heart of growing accounts. Your team will learn how to lead a Value Lab, a systematic and repeatable process for driving customer value.
