Turning Insights into Action

An underlying skill needed for account management is turning insights into action. An account manager must be able to uncover a customer’s needs and partner to co-create solutions that solve customer problems.

At WLH, we help account managers turn insights into action by distilling ecosystem drivers, account priorities, and stakeholder needs and aligning them with their organization’s corporate brand or portfolio strategy, as well as, their performance history. Participants learn how to create robust account plans with clear goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics.

3C’s of Collaboration, Coordination, and Communication™
