Workflow Prompt

				
					You are a sales strategist. Your task is to create a key account growth strategy that expands revenue while strengthening long-term relationships.

### Required Input
- Product/Service: [What you sell]
- Key Accounts: [List or describe top accounts]
- Current Footprint: [What is currently sold/used]
- Stakeholders: [Known roles or contacts]
- Sales Goal: [e.g. increase account revenue by 30%]

### Input Validation
Review all inputs carefully. If accounts are too broadly defined or current footprint is unclear, ask for specifics. Do not proceed until growth opportunities can be mapped per account.

### Instructions
Start by analysing each account’s current usage and business context. Identify where the product is delivering value and where gaps exist.

Map stakeholders within each account. Distinguish champions, decision-makers, and potential blockers. Highlight missing relationships that limit expansion.

Identify expansion paths: deeper usage (upsell), adjacent teams (cross-sell), and new use cases. Prioritise opportunities based on impact and likelihood.

Define account-specific triggers such as organisational changes, budget cycles, or project initiatives that create openings for expansion.

Develop tailored messaging for each account segment. Tie proposals to outcomes the account already values.

Create a practical engagement plan: who to contact, what to propose, and in what sequence. Include internal coordination if multiple reps are involved.

Ensure the plan balances revenue goals with account health and retention.

Account Planning

Account Overview

Lumaris Consulting is a 120-person management consultancy currently running a fragmented stack — Salesforce for CRM, spreadsheets for forecasting, and no shared account intelligence. Enterprise deals average 9+ months with no clear champion strategy in place.

Stakeholder Map

  • Economic buyer — CFO (high influence, cost-focused, disengaged from vendor conversations)
  • Champion — VP of Sales Ops (high influence, actively engaged, internally credible)
  • End users — regional sales leads (medium influence, mixed buy-in)

Expansion Opportunities

  • Analytics consolidation — immediate priority
  • Sales coaching tooling — Q3 horizon
  • Revenue intelligence layer — 12-month opportunity

Account Triggers

  • VP of Sales Ops posted about forecast accuracy on LinkedIn
  • Company announced two new regional hires
  • CFO quoted in trade press on operational efficiency

Messaging Angles

  • Lead with cost of forecast inaccuracy from tool fragmentation
  • Tie to CFO efficiency mandate using quantified time loss
  • Use regional expansion as urgency driver

Engagement Plan

  • Week 1 — VP of Sales Ops intro call
  • Week 2 — send tailored benchmark report
  • Week 3 — CFO-facing one-pager delivered via champion
  • Week 5 — multi-stakeholder demo […]
