How to Grow Sales within a Strategic Account

Have you looked lately at all the possibilities within one of your large accounts for a large deal to occur?

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket...but there may be many opportunities within that client company that warrant a review. This is how to do some effective strategic account planning without investingin new marketing.

Gather your team together and look for any cross selling potential within a major customer. Are there multiple locations that you can tap? What other divisions or departments can you mine for additional business? Put together a client specific marketing plan with the team. Your objective is not only to increase sales overall but to become the "go-to" source for your major account. You want your name to come up first whenever your product/service is needed.

Do not neglect to make the best of business that is right under your nose. The contacts are there. You have built a solid relationship and have hopefully earned referrals and introductions by adding value in the past. You have a proven record of delivery, quality and service. Use that for your benefit...and theirs!
