Tasks of a Key Account Manager (KAM)

-
Building long-term business relationships through regular contact.
-
To offer customized solutions.
-
Presenting attractive added value and economic benefits in a transparent manner.
-
To sustainably strengthen the company's competitiveness through strategic customer management.
