Key Account Management

Establishing and expanding strategic customer relationships: Key account management is more than just looking after large customers. It means creating genuine partnerships at eye level. You accompany strategically important customers, recognize their challenges at an early stage and develop tailor-made solutions that are convincing in the long term.

Especially in the age of digitalization and Industry 4.0, your key accounts expect more than just good products and services. They are looking for partners who think along with them, provide impetus and actively help shape their future. To remain relevant in this environment in the long term, you not only need specialist knowledge, but also a clear strategic understanding, strong communication skills and entrepreneurial flair.

In our training courses, you will develop precisely these skills: You will learn how to build trust as a key account manager, retain customers in the long term and position yourself for the future in a competitive environment.

Tasks of a Key Account Manager (KAM)

The KAM concept originated in the USA in the 1970s with the aim of providing more intensive support to fewer customers. The main task of a KAM is to:

  1. Building long-term business relationships through regular contact.

  2. To offer customized solutions.

  3. Presenting attractive added value and economic benefits in a transparent manner.

  4. To sustainably strengthen the company's competitiveness through strategic customer management.

With targeted development measures, our participants not only learn how to look after key customers in a structured way, but also how to retain them in the long term.
