Competency Mapping - Account Development Skills
In order to develop themselves professionally, account managers obviously want to focus on areas of their performance that can be improved. Of course, account managers need to be adept in all of the fundamental sales skills, but in addition, account managers working with large customers need high levels of expertise in an additional range of business related skills. The difficulties encountered working with large accounts, selling complex and often high value solutions with long sales cycles makes it very difficult for account managers to be objective about particular areas of their performance and ability as they are usually concentrating too hard on what is going on in the account. To be of real value, account managers need granular measures, so that they can focus on specific areas of their sales skills. The commitment of both sales manager and account manager to use the Competency Mapping Template constructively for the account manager's benefit to improve sales performance, is of critical importance. When creativity and thought is applied to the coaching and training processes sales managers will see real benefit from using this tool to improve performance in their sales team. |
