This category outlines a simple relationship management process that almost all businesses employ in one form or another, irrespective of their industry.
We look at the different steps in the process, including the compelling value proposition, and outline how these can be used to create new opportunities, both within existing customers and to attract new customers.
We provide a strategic account management framework for deeper understanding of key customers - to improve and develop the business we do with them.
We outline a business planning methodology to ensure that business development strategies and plans are aligned and effective.
