GenAI-Powered Actionable Org Charts: A Guide for Account Managers to Identify Opportunities & Decision-Makers Within Existing Accounts
What makes an account manager successful? Is it the ability to nurture relationships, uncover opportunities, or drive value within existing accounts?
The truth is, it’s a combination of all three.
At the core of this lies the critical task of identifying the right stakeholders - those who hold the keys to budgets, influence, and decision-making. This process is also central to effective account planning. A solid account plan doesn’t just outline targets or timelines; it’s built on an in-depth understanding of the organizational structure, key players, and areas of potential growth within the existing account.
Let’s break this down:
Regular Outreach to the Right Contact
Consistent communication with the wrong person is like shouting into the void. Without identifying the right contact, your efforts might go unnoticed. Regular outreach ensures you stay top-of-mind and aligned with client priorities, but it only works when directed at stakeholders who can act on your insights and proposals. Account planning comes into play here by helping you map these stakeholders and prioritize engagement strategies accordingly.
Uncovering New Budget Opportunities
Budgets aren’t static. They shift, evolve, and sometimes appear in unexpected areas. A good account plan anticipates these changes by identifying budget holders and understanding their objectives. Without this insight, you might miss out on untapped opportunities that could drive value for both you and the client.
Engaging Stakeholders Who Drive Initiatives
Every account has individuals who are catalysts for change - key individuals who can rally teams and resources behind new initiatives. These stakeholders are often at the center of successful account planning, as they play a crucial role in moving projects forward. Engaging them early ensures your solutions are not just proposed but actively supported.
As an account manager, building and maintaining relationships is crucial for what we do. But here's the challenge – organizations are constantly evolving, and keeping track of who's who can be overwhelming. But what if there was a solution that could help you around?
