Evolve from commodity sales into value-based relationships and move from product to relationship selling
Meet short- and long-term customer needs while providing mutually valuable opportunities to engage the customer over the long term

Alliancesphere Approach
Alliancesphere implemented and facilitated a customized Collaborative Account and Customer Planning program leveraging customer-centric planning methodology to drive new, necessary behaviors both internally and with customers. The program focuses on maximizing value for the customer, enabling the company to translate what they can do to support that value. Facilitators implemented the program through a combination of internal account planning and collaborative business planning for 15 key clients by:
Allying key internal stakeholders to design and guide a 360° account strategy and execution plan to secure contract renewals, grow revenue, increase share of wallet, drive deployment, and deepen relationships with key customers
Uniting internal and customer stakeholders to create a joint initiative plan aligned to the customer’s strategic priorities and imperatives.
