  • What in-depth research and interviews reveal about the top three reasons companies lose strategic accounts.
  • How to tell whether your strategic accounts fall into the strong, vulnerable, or damaged status categories.
  • How to manage and maintain your strong accounts so that they become even stronger over the longer-term.
  • How to turn around vulnerable and damaged accounts and convert them into strong customer relationships.
