Introduction
Account teams face multiple challenges in growing key accounts including disseminating many sources of account information, creating contextually relevant sales conversations by stakeholder and coordinating with internal resources to pursue initiatives over long periods of time.
Challenge #1
Information Overload
The amount of external information account teams must research on their own is immense and growing. To make matters worse, continuously prioritizing compelling customer events, connecting the right plays to the right stakeholders, coordinating pursuit strategies as a team, and tracking each new opportunity over long periods of time is next to impossible to manage manually.
Challenge #2
Irrelevant Sales Conversations
Only 11% of sales conversations are considered relevant by executives based on over a decade of research. This is due to the disconnect between supplier products vs. customer problems. Relevant sales conversations, with situational context across a group of stakeholders who must agree to do something is complex given their perceptions change as conditions on the ground change over time.
Challenge #3
Decentralized Pursuit History
External and internal information ranging from research, articles, meeting notes, backgrounds, communications, people, organizational changes, presentations, and assignments are fragmented across email and file systems across many people like shattered glass. Yet every pursuit is typically a six-figure investment that should be carefully protected.
