Telephone account management is a great way to have cost effective and useful contact with your accounts.

Our training helps participants develop the skills and practices to ensure regular, cost effective and meaningful contact across your customer base.

Working together with your field sales team, or as a standalone sales function, telephone account management is a key way of keeping in touch with your customer base.

Telephone Account Managers need to understand their part in your sales strategy, be able to set objectives for their accounts, manage their portfolio of accounts, and have meaningful conversations with their allocated accounts that build loyalty, sales and which are of use to customers.

Who will this training help?

Suitable for anyone who has regular contact by telephone with a portfolio of customers.
From new starters to refreshing more experienced account managers, we’ll focus on your desired outcomes when working with your people.

Diane has even been in touch today to see what has happened since and to see if there was anything else we needed. We couldn’t ask for a better service!
