Account Prioritization System

  • Engagement
How engaged is the client? A simple way to measure engagement is to see how many of my client's employees I am in contact with; if the number is high, there is a high level of engagement, If the client treats us more like a vendor, doesn’t call often, and isn’t proactive, there is a low level of engagement.
  • Potential
Look at each of the clients and decide if they have a low potential or a high potential to provide more revenue.You can measure potential with pure revenue or likelihood of expansion. A client with high potential might be one that can spend more money on one product, or it might be one that may be interested in more of your products or services.
