Approach/solution

Tailored training and strategic tools.

  • On-site training: Our sales excellence experts developed customized training materials for on-site training with key account managers, focusing on the account renewal process. 
  • Mock negotiations: The training was followed by each KAM preparing and running a mock negotiation for one of their actual key accounts, with specific scripts prepared for those acting as buyers. This hands-on training ensured that KAMs were well-prepared to manage renewals and negotiate effectively. 
  • Strategic tools: We developed and provided the client with battlecards, a negotiation playbook, and monitoring tools. These resources equipped the sales team with practical strategies and real-time support to drive success in price increases and upselling initiatives.
