An Intro to Key Account Management 

If you struggle to understand what key account management is and why it’s important for business, we don’t blame you. While the process and software that make it possible are still relatively new, key account management is growing in importance by the day. The quicker you learn to manage key accounts, the quicker you can reap the benefits.
