You’ll learn from experts with firsthand experience with national accounts why these chains desire a national or regional service strategy, how to gain access to the right people in key accounts, how to develop the sales and operational systems -- and capacity -- required for you to serve these accounts, and the real long-term value of these accounts to your business. You’ll leave with a better understanding of this potentially lucrative market and take home tips that will enable you to compete in it.
