The value of Strategic Account Management
An effective SAM program isn’t something you stumble upon. The most successful organisations rely on formal, measurable, repeatable processes to develop and maintain their most valuable customer relationships. That’s why strategic account managers play a vital role. These managers are the contact people for the strategic accounts’ stakeholders and are responsible for developing and maintaining a long-term relationship with the customer.
