Is it time to re-think Key Account Management?
The business landscape has transformed dramatically: buyers wield unprecedented power, competition is relentless, and market dynamics shift daily.Â
Your competitive edge needs to be re-sharpened almost daily.
 The hard truth: According to Gartner, 80% of B2B organisations fail to realise the benefits of their Key Account Management programs and are forced into costly rebuilds.Â
Most KAM initiatives become expensive relationship management exercises that don't deliver bottom-line results. But here's the twist: Value-Based KAM can become the most valuable technique in your strategic toolbox—if you know how the new principles and how to implement them.
The cost of inaction is greater than you think
Â
Without effective KAM, your business faces a grim future:
• You'll bleed margin in price-based negotiations
 • Your most valuable customers will drift toward competitors who understand their needsÂ
• Your offerings will become commoditised and interchangeableÂ
• Your growth will stagnate while more strategic competitors thrive
The marketplace doesn't reward mediocrity. And ignoring KAM isn't an option.
But traditional KAM approaches are failing.Â
You need a practical, value-driven evolution that delivers measurable results.

Hello... I’m Mark Davies
 After more than 25 years in consultative selling and operational/buying roles, plus researching and consulting in KAM with hundreds or organisations in multiple industries, I have concluded 2 main things:
1. KAM can have a transformational impact on a suppliers sales
2. Most organisations do not realise the real competitive advantage that KAM can provide them, or how to establish that edge.
But KAM needs to evolve.Â
My view? KAM should focus on delivering value to the customer, and then it will provide you with a significant competitive advantage.Â
And to do that, four blocks need to be considered.Â
