The Key Account model is anchored on developing account-specific approaches with deliberate strategy, ongoing executive and IT cadence, and persistent long-term vision.

KAE's will need to form a strategic perspective for each one of their accounts. This will include obtaining a deep knowledge of the target customer's business objectives, market positioning, growth plans, and partnership expectations.
