Why you should read Key Account Management

As supply chains get shorter, industries are consolidating and buyers are narrowing their lists of preferred suppliers. This means that suppliers must get closer to their customers and manage their critical accounts carefully. This thorough survey of key account management outlines all of the essentials. Author Peter Cheverton provides a good overview of analytical tools, sound advice on strategy, timely warnings and even a CD with software and planning tools. Without great loss, the manuscript could have been trimmed much tighter, but the author’s style is clear enough that the unnecessary material is not particularly burdensome. getAbstract.com highly recommends this book to anyone with an interest in key corporate sales.
