This PPT slide, part of the 14-slide Sales Force Effectiveness - Diagnosis & Correction Framework PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for account prioritization, emphasizing the value and distinct opportunities associated with key accounts. It highlights the typical distribution of accounts, sales, and sales-person time, contrasting it with an improved scenario that leads to increased sales and profits.
On the left side, the typical mix shows that a significant portion of sales and profits comes from a small number of accounts. Specifically, 75% of contributions arise from just 11% of customers, indicating a heavy reliance on a few key accounts. The graph illustrates that 80% of accounts fall into the C category, contributing only 20% of sales and profits, while A accounts, though fewer in number, are responsible for a larger share of revenue.
The right side of the slide depicts a more optimized state, where the focus shifts towards A accounts. Here, the distribution changes favorably, with A accounts now contributing 70% of sales and profits and requiring less sales-person time. This shift suggests a strategic reallocation of resources towards higher-value accounts, resulting in a one-third reduction in total sales capacity and a more efficient use of sales personnel.
The bottom section outlines the transition from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more tailored strategy. It emphasizes the need for tailored delivery and prioritization based on lifetime profitability and market value. This approach not only enhances sales effectiveness, but also aligns resources with the most promising opportunities, ultimately driving better financial outcomes.
