What is Clients for Life?
Clients for Life is a unique management process to manage your most important clients.. It has been specifically developed to manage large service contracts. All components are detailed written out in manuals and other instruments or tooling.
In order for an organization to perform effectively on a structural basis, best practices are needed for the essential tasks. And that's exactly what Clients for Life is, best practices that describe HOW the essential tasks should be performed.
Would you like to put it to the test? Let us do some reviews on lost customers and/or lost deals. We will immediately show you what can be improved.

Team Account Retention Planning
Hire Tenacity or get your own license
Major clients are often at the heart of your organization. You simply can't afford to lose them. That's why your account management organization should be focussed on achieving mutual benefit, for both your customer and your team.
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 essential tasks could be performed.. Clients for Life includes an account management process and the tools to continuously improve outcomes.
The choice is yours, you either bring the entire process in-house with a license or you hire Tenacity for support to keep the clients you cannot afford to lose. An expectation session for example is a very valuable workshop with your client's decision makers to agree on their expectations in the collaboration. This workshop leads to an even stronger understanding and business 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 the how of achieving something. This makes them stand out. These operational instructions are what differentiate a method from just a way of thinking. A framework that only describes what and why you should do something is not sufficiently effective. It provides direction but does not help account managers with flawless execution. As a result, it doesn’t lead to consistently high results. By structuring your team to work effectively and independently, you provide them with the best approach to carrying out the most important tasks.
We have been developing genuine products and best practices for account managers for over 35 years, and we bring these together into working methods for service providers that can be implemented immediately.
