Key Account Management: How to Grow Your Most Valuable Customers
Overview
Quick Summary
Key account management (KAM) is the strategy of investing more in your most valuable customers to retain and grow them. A small number of accounts usually drive a large share of revenue — KAM makes sure you protect and expand them.
Here's how to do it well.
What is Key Account Management?
KAM focuses your best resources on the accounts with the highest value and potential. With account management in GetBiz CRM, you get one view of each company — its contacts, deals, activity, and health — so nothing about a key account slips.

- Plan — set goals and next steps for each key account.
