4.0 out of 5 stars Proven to be effective in real businesses, May 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Successful Large Account Management: How to Hold on to Your Most Important Customers - And Keep Them Going Strong - In Today's Marketplace (Paperback)

Answers the question "how should I be working with field sales."   Contains tables, worksheets, lists, and step-by-step approaches with examples.   The problem will be getting an entire sales and marketing team to adopt it. Even if they don't, after reading this book, you may find you relate to your sales force in a different, more productive manner. The only reservation I have about this book is that for the concept to be truly effective, an entire work team must complete the training described in the book. I know from personal experience that, when a work team completes the training, it works, and works well. The book, as well as it may be written, cannot substitute for the group training. If it did, I would rate it a 10+.

4.0 out of 5 stars Building Strategic Relationships, January 29, 2000

In this age of consolidation, big companies keep getting bigger. For suppliers, losing any large account can be at least dramatic or at worst devastating. Large Account Management Process (LAMP) from Miller Heiman presents a logical, team friendly method of knowing how your company is positiioned in your large accounts, and what needs to be done to maintain or improve that position. Highly recommended.

LAMP helped me see how critical it is to take care of our large accounts. I realized that our survival as a company depends on them. Right now, we are taking the necessary action to apply the concepts that we have learned from the book.
