The “MBA for Sales”: to create growth and retain your most important customers

A fully virtual, blended training program that equips the new-to-role account manager and/or sales professional to:

• Elevate engagement and grow business with important customers
• Apply best-in-class, pragmatic account management processes, principles, and tools.

Build front-line salespeople’s skill set and mindset to effectively engage large and/or important accounts with behaviors that have been proven to drive growth. Begin shifting mindsets from “product-based” to “customer-centric” while positioning your firm as a true value-add solution supplier and stop customers from seeing you as “just another vendor.”

Participants will be equipped with a repeatable account-centric selling process and playbook integrating more than 20 proven principles and tools – downloadable, ”smart” editable templates that structure thinking and guide application of leading account management practices.

PARTICIPANT SUCCESS STORIES

“Now I can collaboratively create account plans and communicate value ‘beyond the cookie.'”

“The course builds the mindset of a business person versus a sales person; it moved me from focusing on technical specs to understanding the customer’s business model, challenges, and Careabouts™. It’s not about what we care about!”

“The account management tools help organize my thoughts and choose the best approach for each customer situation / strategy.”

Participants with interest will be placed on a waitlist. Once the cohort has reached 10 participants we will begin scheduling the session. 

Note: Program can be customized for individual companies (for 10 or more participants)
