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.

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.
