Here are the top 3 accounts based on the weighted parameters:
1. PETROBRAS - Highest loyalty level and largest contract values and historical spending. Clear top priority account.
2. EMBRATEL - Second highest loyalty level and above average contract values and historical spending. A core priority account.
3. GRUPO TELEFONICA - Second highest contract values and spending but lower loyalty level than top two. Still a priority account but perhaps slightly lower focus than the top two.

13. A key concept: the Addressable Market definition
o Available market where your portfolio of products and
services offer concrete potential, not likelihood, to
address customers needs
o What would your business value be if you had 100%
market share in all areas where your products/services
provide a solution?
o Key to Accounts Segmentation and SOW (Account Share
of Wallet) calculations
o Standardized on IDC data: BlackBook Taxonomy (industry
definitions) and WW Vertical Market definitions (product
segments)
o But... You have to make your own assumptions
17. What if we concentrate our coverage resources?
How should we compare Key Accounts opportunity levels?
On a mid to long term strategy!
• Revenue historical series (weighted)
• Future contract values
• Share of Wallet x competition analysis
• Services Attach rates
• Customer Satisfaction index
• Opt-in Programs members
• Number of reference Executives
• Customer Lifetime Value TM
• …and avoid the “Mermaid” Accounts
