Advice
Consider your existing account pool – have you chosen too many, or those that are
too hard to reach?
Go back to basics with your CRM and ask how effectively it’s being used. Do you
need to upgrade, offer training or incentives?
Take an honest assessment of your relationship with sales and in turn their
relationship with your chosen accounts.
