Sales Account Management
An effective and consistent approach to the account planning and review process is essential in a world-class sales organisation. Companies tend to rely upon the skills and experience of individuals to manage their sales accounts. If no single standard business wide process is adopted, the result is confusion and uncertainty in the sales community and varying degrees of performance and results. Very often the basic skills and principles of sales management are forgotten. The review and development phase of any plan is therefore diminished because of the varying quality of application. A single standard, when applied and adopted delivers benefit to customers, account teams and management alike.
