Team Account Retention Planning

Hire Tenacity or get your own license

Major customers are the heart of your organization. You simply can't afford to lose even one. That is why you set up the account management organization mutual maximum value: for the customer and for your organization.

The Clients for Life process is the best practice for service providers. Even the largest companies in the world indicate that they could never have imagined how much better things could be done. Clients for Life includes an account management process and the tools to continuously improve outcomes. 

There is a choice to bring the entire process in-house with a license or to hire Tenacity for incidental support for large customers. A workshop that will strengthen the relationship with every customer is the 'Expectations Session'. A workshop with all decision makers at the customer about the expectations in the collaboration. It brings the collaboration to one absolute partnership. Ask us about it.

Method, not just a way of thinking

Our working methods (Clients for Life and Value Based Partnerships) are unique. They organize not only the why and the what, but also how to do something. That makes them unique. This operational instructions make the difference between a method and a way of thinking. A framework that only describes What and Why you should do something is insufficiently effective. That provides direction, but does not help account managers with excellent execution. This does not create consistently high results. About your team structured, effective and independent to work, you provide them with the best way to carry out the most important tasks.

We have been developing genuine products for more than 35 years best practices for account managers and we bring these together into working methods for service providers that can be implemented immediately.

We start every collaboration by getting into the heads and hearts of your customers.

We continue with the outcome of these interviews your organization at both strategic and account level moving.

It doesn't matter whether you agree with the insights shared by the customer, because future decisions are made based on his perception and not yours.

FreshEyes Reviews are not for small customers, but for those customers you can't afford to lose. We've been doing this for 35 years and there's no better instrument to tell you exactly how you are doing and where you can expand and improve!

You can lose customers while having high customer satisfaction. Clients for Life gives the word 'value' a whole new meaning. Now I look at the relationship from the perspective of what relevant added value you can provide from your organization instead of from your product or service. This means that I shape the relationship with my customers in a different way. Very inspiring.
