We provide account managers with the skills they need to retain and manage their clients. They’ll have the knowledge they need to hit the ground running and start growing your business in the most effective manner possible. Ensuring your account managers know what they are doing is critical, and it takes a considerable amount of expertise and effort to give them the skillsets they will need. Choosing our account management training courses means you can rest easy knowing our experts will be guiding your team, developing their talents and pushing them to new heights.

Account Managers have a lot on their plates:

  • Managing hundreds of accounts
  • Account retention
  • Driving product/service penetration
  • Profitability & growth

You know it’s time for training if you see Reps:

  • Assuming they have 100% of wallet share
  • Living off inbound orders
  • Actively managing only top 20% of books
  • Missing opportunities to grow revenue

“I’m powering through my account deck qualifying the heck out of it. Thanks to Factor 8’s training, my time management has improved. I’m able to qualify accounts so quickly that I’m able to spend more time focusing on revenue producing prospects and clients!”
