Key Account Management

11-12 March 2010    /    17-18 June 2010    /    13-14 October 2010

This two day interactive workshop will be custom-designed for the participants.  It is for representatives, product specialists or key account managers that sell into hospitals or major accounts in the healthcare industry.  The programme is centred around the development of a Key Account Plan for a real key account of each participant so that the material and skills will be used immediately in the field.

This programme will:

  • Explore the differences and similarities between key account management and sales.
  • Develop a vision and SMART objectives for the key account.
  • List and rank decision-makers, influencers and supporters in the account.
  • Develop and document strategies and actions for each customer according to where they are in the buying cycle and existing sales data.
  • Demonstrate how to assess call progress and success in long term sales strategies.
  • Show how to maximise and incorporate selling skills into key account philosophy.
  • Develop techniques to productively manage and grow the key accounts for a long-term win/win relationship.
  • Document how the product strategy will be implemented in the accounts.
  • Lead participants through analysis of the buying cycle, enabling them to understand the customer’s decision process, knowing when to sell and when to negotiate.
  • Understand how to add value to key accounts for win/win relationships, rather than automatically discount.
