Key Account Plan
A key account is not a large customer — it is a customer whose exit you would not survive, and that is a position to underwrite, not a relationship to enjoy.
What it is
The customers whose departure you would not survive, planned as positions rather than friendships. Maps the account as it decides rather than as it publishes, states value in the metrics their people are measured on, prices the alternatives from their side, and turns it into named opportunities, dated warning signals and a review that changes something. For account directors, agency principals and founders whose largest customers are their largest risks.
What you receive
a written plan for the customers you cannot afford to lose — the decision map with its single points of failure, the position read against the alternatives they hold, a growth thesis of named opportunities with owners and dates, a risk register with dated early-warning signals, and the rhythm and succession protocol that keep the plan operational rather than annual and fictional
