Key Account Management | Training Course

This practical virtual programme focuses on maximising the potential of key accounts. You will learn how to identify and prioritise accounts to help reach the longer-term objectives of the business. The programme covers the core skills required to maximise and maintain your key accounts, including multiple relationship management, and information to be captured to create effective account plans.

This course has been designed for new and existing Key Account Managers that manage multiple accounts who have had little or no formal training.

It is not suitable for Key Account Managers who deal with one large strategic account - we recommend an in-depth tailored programme delivered in-house.
