Key account management vs Traditional sales - Quick comparison guide Hakeem Adebiyi
Whats the difference between KAM, this seems to be the most popular question on all KAM forums. Personally I think a better question is what skills are required to achieve the business goals of your organisation? However the popularity of the question and the debate it generates has led me to produce a quick comparison guide .

B2B marketing is no longer a matter of delivering support tools and services to the sales organisation. The challenge for marketing is to take more of an independent role in B2B as a positioning driver. The loss of an extremely close, direct connection between sales and marketing also causes a loss in the alignment of sales and marketing investments for driving business. There isn’t necessarily sufficient marketing focus on generating revenue streams, as sales often ignores what will drive future revenue. B2B sales and marketing needs to re-align its objectives and priorities.
Is your company having trouble driving more revenue from current clients?
Are you losing your current clients to competitors?

Outsourcing in literal terms, means sourcing from outside. The term is increasingly used to refer to sub-contracting of a set of functions or processes by one firm to another, or to a group of individuals. Outsourcing is being pursued as an active business strategy in the current economic scenario, since it enables a firm to focus on core-competency areas. It also frees the firm from resource and labour intensive functions, which are now performed by trained personnel at much lower costs.

2. INTRODUCTION
Pre-Requisite
Firms usually need to handle multiple inter-organizational relationships with value
creation partners, such as suppliers, alliance partners, R & D partners, or
customers
Definition
• “Key account management (KAM) refers to the management of a
specific subset of these inter-organizational relationships, i.e.
relationships with those customers of the firm who have the highest
level of strategic importance for the firm's long-term performance”
3. Theoretical perspectives on KAM
Attributes of Key Accounts
Activities of KA Managers
1. Customers who present outstanding opportunities for growth
2. Customers who allows the supplier firm to progress in value co-creation
3. Customers with whom doing business involves high levels of business risk
• Though it co-exist beside sales, least time is invested for actual sales.
• One of the major task is Key Account Analysis
• Another task is medium to long term Key Account Planning
4. Concepts used in KAM
• Resource-oriented concepts
This concept argues that performance is enhanced when a firm possesses or
controls a certain number of tangible or intangible assets that are valuable,
rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable.
• Substantive capabilities
These consist of routines through which a firm transforms resources into
outputs and creates value for the firm as well as for its stakeholders in a given
market context.
• Dynamic capabilities
It can be slated as a learned and stable pattern of collective activity through
which the organization systematically generates and modifies its operating
routines in pursuit of improved effectiveness.
5. Literature Review
• Extant research on
• KAM, the capability perspective has found rather limited
consideration so far
1. Business relationships and the capability view
2. Network and networking capabilities
3. Relationship life-cycle capabilities
4. Relationship-dedicated vs. network-dedicated capabilities
5. Context-specific relational and network capabilities
1. Articles focuses on lower-order capabilities in the form of skills
required by KA managers
2. Focus on global account management (GAM) as a form of KAM
3. As a management concept comprising two groups of design elements,
i.e. inter and intra organizational design elements.
4. a set of key KAM practices
6. KAM as a supplier firm capability
• “A collection of routines, that is, repetitive, recognizable patterns of
interdependent actions, used to manage strategically important customers,
involving multiple actors as well as input flows and conferring upon the firm’s
management a set of decision options for producing significant outputs of a
particular type with the firm's key customers”
1. The study interprets individual KAM skills as conceptually distinct from a
firm's organizational KAM capability
2. The capability combines actors and flows of input resources with the aim
of producing significant outputs of predefine types.

3. The capability can be actively developed and some firms are better at
developing a KAM capability than others. Yet, routine-based capabilities
are path-dependent. Instead, KAM constitutes an idiosyncratic domain
and a firm's KAM capability is conceptually and practically distinct from
the capabilities required in other fields of market-oriented management
4. Instead, KAM constitutes an idiosyncratic domain and a firm's KAM
capability is conceptually and practically distinct from the capabilities
required in other fields of market-oriented management
8. Framework of KAM as a firm capability
The framework shows two primary dimensions.
Relationship Level and Organization Level
9. Organization-level
KAM capabilities
• Routines to ensure the coherence of decisions
• Measured using performance Indicators
Organization-level Outside-in Capability (OLOI)
Required by Supplier Firm
Has 2 facets:
Market Sensing : General Market Requirements (Product, IT,
logistics)
Competitor Sensing : Understand Competitors’ KAM
programmes
10. Organization-level
KAM capabilities
Organization-level Inside-out Capability (OLIO)
Requirements specific to KAs (manufacturing approaches, supply-
chain solutions, etc)
Organization-level Spanning (OLS)
Connects OLIO & OLOI : Central Core of Capabilities
General KAM Strategy
Objectives
Activities & Processes
Resources available
Selection of KAs
Information dissipation internally and externally(investors)
11. Support capabilities
Secondary activities to enable KAM
Relationship level
Mainly dine by KA Managers & Teams
Top management mobilizes resources and actors
Other departments involved as per requirement
eg: HR (decides skills and trainings)
Organizational level
eg: Legal Services
12. Substantive & dynamic
KAM capabilities
Substantive
Market Changes occur in stable patterns
Rely on existing knowledge & linear execution predictable
outcomes
Dynamic
Market aspects change comparatively faster
Unstable processes that rely on quickly created knowledge
unpredictable outcomes
Eg : New entries
Dynamic customer in a stable market Combination of
Substantive & Dynamic
14. Future Research Scope
Interplay between KAM capabilities
Empirical Study on the Strategic contribution KAM can make to
overall firm performance & competitive advantage
Relationship between KAM capability dimensions and other
variables
Qualitative research on how, why, when, and under what
conditions KAM capabilities emerge
Development of scales measuring the specific KAM capabilities
15. Conclusion
Important contribution to the study of strategic role of KAM in
firm performance
Explains the importance of establishing KAM system in
maintaining relationships & financial performance
Explains KAM Is more than classical sales approach
