Training from KAM to SAM: how to become strategic for your client

Whatever the reasons for the existence of your company’s key accounts program, salespeople will have to “up their game” in the way they approach customers to become one of the most critical elements of that customer’s performance. This is called “strategic selling” because its objective is to move your company from being a supplier to being a strategic supplier, which changes everything from the point of view of sales growth, margins and customer loyalty. At the same time, business actors will have to change their attitude to move from the role of salesperson to that of consultant. This implies changes in postures, attitudes and practices.

Our KAM to SAM program will help you through this change by giving you all the keys to go from being a very good Account Manager to a Strategic Account Manager.

We provide you with a set of solutions articulated around a coherent and proven program to train you in strategic selling.
