Key Areas Of Content:

To maximize business in accounts, sales professionals must understand the sources of business initiatives and projects in that account. Major Account Planning provides sales professionals with the means to accurately identify the forces affecting an account, how to create a defensible fortress of value, develop higher and broader levels of relationship, and secure higher shares of spend for the seller’s solutions.

Protecting accounts from competitive encroachment requires sales professionals to understand how they can create value, and how they can bring the right resources to bear to achieve new value creation. Major Account Planning provides sales professionals with the methods and tools for selecting the most effective competitive strategy, and for applying the optimum mix of resources in proportion to business potential.

With the right insights and understanding of accounts, sales professionals can determine how they can help to fulfill strategic initiatives and projects, thereby becoming more strategic and indispensable to that account. Major Account Planning provides a practical model for white space analysis, showing what capabilities in sales professionals’ solution portfolios create the most value in accounts. This analysis increases the number of identified opportunities in accounts significantly, and helps sales professionals to focus on those that provide the highest business impact.

Raising the level of relationships in accounts, across departments and business units and upward into the executive suite, requires sales professionals to communicate and get credit for value created. Effective account management ensures higher levels of repeat business, renewals and new opportunities. Major Account Planning provides reliable tools for managing account engagement, increasing satisfaction and loyalty, and becoming a trusted advisor and partner at multiple levels in an account.
