Key Account Management
Key Account Development: Building Business Value.
Key Account Management Workshop – Feb 18-19, 2017, Novotel Heathrow.
Why Key Account Management
In an era where customer acquisition costs continue to rise, Key Account Management is your greatest competitive advantage — because the companies that systematically nurture, expand, and deeply understand their top accounts will always outgrow the ones still chasing a cold pipeline. Stop hunting and start growing: The revenue you need is already inside the relationships you have.
Key Challenges
Most organisations don’t lose key accounts through poor relationships — they lose them through poor visibility into what’s really happening inside the client’s world. Real-time intelligence isn’t a nice-to-have; for your top accounts, it’s the difference between growing revenue and watching it walk out the door.
Key Account Management Training Modules!!
Module One – Key Account Management

Module Two – Identifying and Managing Your Key Accounts
This module focuses on identifying which customers should be treated as key accounts and why, using criteria such as strategic fit, growth potential, and profitability. It develops the skills needed to analyse accounts, assess resources, and plan a structured key account management approach for longterm success.
Module 3 – Strategic Key Account Selection
