Methods in account management
Successful methods, can be implemented immediately
You want structure, overview and a clear working method for your team. Success is not accidental, but the result of best practice. Our working methods provide that structure and make account managers proactive.
You have control over what happens, even if you are not there.
Choose a method with proven results. Your team will quickly embrace it and you have the assurance that your team is doing the right things with great effectiveness. That gives you peace of mind.
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.
Value Based Partnerships
Value Based Partnerships is one compact and method that can be implemented immediately for account management teams.
With this process, account managers independently develop valuable and long-term partnerships with customers.
Teams immediately reach a higher level and managers get much more time for their own strategic tasks.

Develop yourself or buy best practice?
A method is effective when it forms a system of strategy, instructions for implementation and a management process. All elements of a system need and require each other.
Developing a working method can be quite a task. It takes time and energy and must meet all kinds of conditions to be effective. Implementing a best practice is often a better option. Take a look at the page about organizing account management.

Account plans that do work
Making account plans work is sometimes an isolated question that customers have for us. Especially because we have developed an account plan that account managers like to work with and that is something that managers want.
Organizations that really and intensively use the account plan have an average of 30% more results from their existing customers.
