- Manage newly won accounts for the first six months, focusing on account development and maximising share of wallet, ideally becoming the sole supplier.
- Maintain regular, proactive contact with customers to ensure service satisfaction and identify further growth opportunities.
- After six months, hand over established accounts to Customer Services, allowing you to remain focused on winning new business.
What's in it for you?
