Our Online Strategic Account Manager (SAM) Fundamentals and Implementation Roadmap is a comprehensive training program designed to equip Strategic Account Managers with the essential knowledge and skills required for successful strategic account management.
Program Highlights:
Understanding Key Concepts: The program starts by ensuring a clear understanding of the foundational concepts of strategic account management. SAMs will grasp the importance of long-term customer relationships, value-driven strategies, and proactive problem-solving.
Step-by-Step Assignments: SAMs will embark on a guided journey through the 7-step best practice SAM process. Each step is broken down into practical assignments that follow a logical progression. This structure ensures that SAMs master each phase.
Developing Core Competencies: The program places a strong emphasis on honing the 5 SAM core competencies – Understanding Organizational Priorities, Strategic Account and Opportunity Planning, Joint Solution Development, Co-Creation & Reaching Agreement, Multifunctional Account Team Leadership, Overall Relationship and Outcome Management. SAMs will not only learn about these competencies but also have the opportunity to develop them in real-world scenarios.
Customer Engagement: Assignments are designed to be carried out while working with actual customers. This unique approach allows SAMs to apply newly acquired knowledge in a practical setting, ensuring that theoretical concepts are translated into effective customer interactions.
Assessment for Focused Coaching: As SAMs complete assignments, leaders gain insight into their true understanding of the 7-step SAM process and the 5 core competencies. This assessment facilitates targeted coaching, enabling leaders to identify specific areas for improvement and provide tailored guidance to each team member.
Superior Task Performance: Templates are thoughtfully provided for each assignment, ensuring that SAMs perform tasks at a superior level. These templates serve as guides, helping SAMs maintain consistency and high quality in their work.
