Key Accounts are not necessarily the customers that you sell the most to. They are accounts that you have decided to target and engage with strategically, with the intention of becoming a preferred supplier and ideally, the preferred collaborative partner to them. There is more to winning and keeping key accounts that just selling to them. The typical approach to selling is usually insufficient to build the type of relationships that are required in managing key accounts
