Just ask yourself a few simple questions to decide if your organization needs a
formal process to protect the clients you’ve worked so hard to get:
-
Would the profits from clients you’ve lost over the last two years virtually
guarantee your attainment of forecast this year?
-
Is it challenging to retain accounts due to competitive pressures, changing
expectations and/or changes in the people involved
-
Does it require multiple relationships at several levels of both organizations
to insulate the contract from threat?
-
Are the terms of each client relationship individually negotiated? Are they
outlined in written agreements? Do these agreements last for years but are
constantly subject to renegotiation?
-
Are your account managers often caught between the needs of your organization
and those of your clients?
-
Do your sales efforts take months, sometimes years, and require at least
$50,000 in resources/personnel costs?
If you answered, "yes" to two or more of these questions, it is likely that
Tenacity can improve account management effectiveness, retention and
profitability for your company.
