Smart Account Management Program (SAMP)
[Virtual Instructor-Led 4 Half Days]
Account managers have two primary objectives: retain clients’ business and grow those opportunities. They accomplish these objectives by learning what their clients’ goals are and helping their clients achieve them.
For companies looking to improve client retention, building a robust account management team is crucial.
Long-term clients tend to buy more from the company over time and refer other clients to your business, reducing operating costs (such as prospecting and lead nurturing). In fact, a 5% increase in customer retention results in a 25% increase in profits.
TALSMART’s Smart Account Manager Program (SAMP) aims at training and enhancing the skills of Sales Professionals to skillfully navigate the sales journey and keep growing the business in key accounts.
The SAMP is a training program to equip you in creating lasting and recurring value in your business for both – your organization and the customers through a collaborative approach supported by the uniquely designed TALSMART Success Pyramid for achieving expertise at sales.
