The renewal date had been known, but it lived in a filing cabinet and nobody prepared. **Outcome:** Contract dates are on each account with reminders six months ahead and an account review booked automatically. The next major renewal was retained with a revised proposal prepared well in advance. ### One relationship holding up an account **Scenario:** A specialist supplier’s largest customer was managed entirely through one long-standing contact. When she retired, the supplier had no relationship with anybody else there. **Outcome:** Key accounts now show contact coverage by role, and account plans include actions to build relationships across the customer. Single-contact accounts are flagged for attention. ### Complaints the account manager missed **Scenario:** A distributor’s account manager arrived at a quarterly review to find the customer unhappy about three delivery issues handled by customer service. He had not been told. **Outcome:** Cases are logged on the account and visible to the account manager, who is notified of any on a key account. Reviews now start with the service record rather than being ambushed by it. ## Figures - **Planned** Goals and actions for every key account - **Early** Warning on renewals and risk - **Kept** History when account owners change ## Frequently asked questions **Can we see revenue per account?** Yes. Invoiced revenue can be synced from Xero, Sage or QuickBooks and shown on each account alongside quotes, activity and cases, so growth or decline is visible at a glance. **How do account plans work?** Each key account can have a plan with objectives, actions, owners and review dates. Actions become tasks with reminders, and the plan is reviewed on the record rather than in a separate document. **Can we mark some accounts as key accounts?** Yes. Accounts can be tiered, and tiers can drive contact frequency, review schedules, dashboards and who is notified about cases. **Does it help with customer retention?** That is the point of it. Renewal reminders, contact coverage, service visibility and early warning when activity or revenue drops all help you act before a customer leaves rather than after. ## Related solutions - **B2B CRM Software** - A CRM built around companies, sites and buying groups rather than individual consumers - for long sales cycles, repeat business and accounts with many people in them. https://cubecrm.co.uk/software/b2b-crm-software/berkshire/reading - **Client Management Software** - For service businesses that manage clients rather than sell products - engagements, contacts, documents, renewals and every conversation on one client record. https://cubecrm.co.uk/software/client-management-software/berkshire/reading - **Customer Service Software** - Customer queries, complaints and after-sales issues logged as cases on the customer record - with owners, response targets and the sales team kept in the loop. https://cubecrm.co.uk/software/customer-service-software/berkshire/reading - **Sales Forecasting Software** - A forecast built from the deals you actually have, weighted by stage and checked against your real win rates - not a spreadsheet filled in the night before. https://cubecrm.co.uk/software/sales-forecasting-software/berkshire/reading ## Elsewhere in Berkshire See https://cubecrm.co.uk/software/account-management-software/berkshire for account management software across Berkshire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeCRM - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubecrm.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubecrm.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubecrm.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
