We work with businesses right across Essex, and the pattern is a familiar one: customers held in a few inboxes, a spreadsheet and the memory of whoever last spoke to them. Getting account management right is usually the part of that people want to fix first.

## Coverage

Our Essex coverage includes Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Harlow and Brentwood, and the CM, SS, CO, IG and RM postcode districts. If you are in Essex and not on that list, we almost certainly still cover you - ask.

## What is included

- **Account plans:** Goals, actions, opportunities and review dates for each key account, kept on the record rather than in a slide deck that is updated once a year.
- **Contact coverage:** Every contact at the account by role and influence, with the date you last spoke to each - so a relationship that rests on one person is obvious.
- **Contracts and renewals:** Contract start and end dates, agreed terms and renewal reminders months ahead, so a renewal is a planned conversation rather than a surprise.
- **Growth and risk at a glance:** Revenue trends from your accounts package alongside activity, open cases and quote history, so accounts at risk show up before they leave.
- **Service in view:** Open complaints and support cases sit on the account, so the account manager knows about a problem before the customer raises it at the review meeting.
- **Handover that keeps the history:** When accounts change hands the new owner inherits everything - plans, contacts, conversations and commitments - without a fortnight of briefings.

## Real-world use cases

### A renewal nobody saw coming

**Scenario:** A facilities services company lost a large multi-site contract when it went to tender. 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.
