Identifying specific Key Accounts in advance enables your Elevate Value consultant to better prepare and tailor workshop delivery for your team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is identifying four Key Accounts (e.g. “Focus Accounts) required?
Yes, it ensures your team’s training will focus on your most important accounts.
While every participant will work on their chosen customer during the workshop, the
consultant will allocate more time and attention to working on this set of accounts.
Do Key Accounts have to be publicly traded companies?
Selecting a set of publicly traded customers is much preferred, but not required. Key
considerations in identifying Key Accounts include those harboring the greatest potential,
those with a near-team pending deal, those that are critical to retain, or major expansion opportunity.
What other information would be useful to provide your Consultant to help them
better understand these focus accounts?
Please note your consultant is under a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
