Bold & Sharp
The keys to Account Planning
Bold & Sharp transforms account planning into impactful sessions and your salespeople into trusted advisors.
Key account management.
In the era of the Challenger Customer, our customers know almost everything about us before reaching out. When business stakes are high, they take for granted that they should investigate to have peer to peer discussions and make informed decisions. Returning the favor is not only a way to show them how customer-centric you are, it is a matter of pure performance, even survival.
Key account planning.
If you have attended our sales planning session, you know almost everything about account tiering and account targeting. Account planning is complimentary to Territory planning. For mere productivity and seniority reasons, key account management and strategic account planning are not for everyone and every account. The business benefits are huge if the concept of Key Account Management is supported by appropriate processes, content and timing.
