Account Management Training Course
In order to provide excellent service and to maintain key accounts, it is important to know what your customers expect from the relationship. It is essential to manage clients effectively to build a long-lasting relationship with them. Many organisations lose sight of what their customer’s need and want. They usually focus on their products or service rather than understanding what their customers expect from them. However, by meeting the expectations of your key customers you will generate more loyalty, more referral business and higher levels of customer satisfaction.
Description
Looking for an account management training course to develop skills that improve your performance at work?
Our account management courses are designed to equip you with the ability to strengthen customer relationships and maximise your business opportunities. The course helps participants to understand the areas where the skills need a change to be an effective account manager. Designed to cover all the skills needed to maintain your key accounts, our key account management training is sure to give your performance a boost.
At the beginning of this workshop we ask the participants what the expectations are of the ideal Account Manager. There are so many diverse perceptions of what the role delivers. It is more than sales and more than relationship management. It is more than negotiation skills. One Account Manager summed up her role as follows which we thought was insightful:
“Every day I walk the ‘value exchange tightrope’. Customers have expectations of price, performance, and value-added services, and managers have their own perspective on price, performance and value-added services. The gap between perceptions makes my tightrope wobble, but I enjoy walking the tightrope every day.”
“Account Management is building loyalty, improving services, meeting expectations, sales, reducing complaints and much more.” -Patrick P. Kennedy
With our strategic account management training, you will be able to devise dynamic strategies to retain good business and add value to your account.
