hire key account managers in africa

You hire a key account manager when a handful of large clients make up a big share of your business and each one needs close, dedicated follow-up. A good hire protects those relationships, grows each account and spots problems before a client walks away.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Ask which accounts they managed and how those accounts grew.
  • Check experience negotiating annual agreements with large buyers.
  • Look for account plans and forecasts kept in a CRM.
  • Check their ease with senior decision makers.

Questions to ask in interview

  • Tell me about a key client you nearly lost. How did you keep them?
  • How do you find new opportunities inside an account you already know well?
  • How do you get logistics and finance to deliver on what you promised a client?

Skills to look for

  • Account planning
  • Commercial negotiation
  • CRM such as Salesforce
  • Sales forecasting
  • Contract management
  • Executive presentations
