Key Accounts: Thinking Big

Posted on December 12th, 2009.

175-tiger_hugPursuing a key account, even if you have a great portfolio of clients, can lead to rethinking the economics of how you deliver services.

Might winning a big company’s business mean being asked to deliver outside of North America? 

This happened when a Fortune 500-sized company became interested in retaining my client.

 The catch was, they felt person-to-person contact would take too long to roll out across the country.

Big thinking  led my client to explore an alternative to their more costly (and slower) on-site service.

The outcome? Within 6 months, the #5 company in the industry requested a proposal.

And my client realized a 100% return on their investment in my fees.
