The likelihood of winning business in an existing customer is 60-70% compared to 5-20% for new customers (source: Marketing Metrics). Yet when it comes to Account Planning, if we’re being honest, we often treat it as a chore to be avoided. Or, addressed once a year and then shelved until the following year.
Billy Martin, Account Planning Evangelist and Senior Manager, Marketing Cloud at Salesforce, has seen serious return from a rigorous account planning structure. He’s willing to share key learnings including how to make Account Planning a natural part of a sales organization’s rhythm on a consistent path to maximizing revenue in Key Accounts. And how to go from Zero to Account Plan in six contact hours.
Joining Billy is The TAS Group’s VP of Strategic Alliances, Mark Handron. Mark has been working hand-in-glove with Salesforce to roll out their Account Planning initiative worldwide.
Watch this and gain insight to key takeaways to maximize revenue in your key accounts.
