Key accounts, also known as strategic accounts, refer to a select group of customers who have significant impact on an organization's overall sales and profitability. These clients often require specialized attention and resources in order to maintain a successful partnership.
Tracking Key Accounts allows businesses to better understand their most important customers and make informed decisions about how to best serve them. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as improved profitability. It also allows businesses to identify potential risks and proactively address any issues that may arise with these important accounts.
1. National Accounts: These are the accounts that generate the most revenue for a company and are often the largest accounts that a company has. National accounts are typically multinational corporations or other large businesses with operations in multiple countries.
2. Major Accounts: Major accounts are usually large businesses that are important to a company's operations, but may not generate as much revenue as national accounts. Major accounts can be local, regional, or global in scope.
3. Strategic Accounts: Strategic accounts are those that are critical to a company's success, but may not be the largest or most important accounts in terms of revenue generation.
