As pressures on profitability increase companies need to develop new and imaginative methods of retaining customers. Key account identification and management is a process which does this, while using internal resources effectively. It is not a quick fix but an ongoing evolution which the company must adopt and practice. It requires a detailed understanding of the customer's business processes so that opportunities to add value and take out cost can be identified. Lasting relationships can then be built which both vendor and customer are committed to and benefit from.
