At the start of June I had the pleasure of leading PM Forum ’s “Towards KAM (and ABM) – Helping fee-earners with clientrelationship management” online workshop. Delegates were from legal and accountancy firms in the UK, Channel Islands, Germany and United Arab Emirates. It stopped using the OnePlace name in February 2023.
The early quiz on key marketing concepts prompted some to reflect that their studies had concentrated on consumer marketing (B2C) which made it challenging to apply to B2B professional services marketing. It was interesting to learn how Business Development Executives work with managing clientrelationships”.
As well as considering the grading of clients and referrers for the firm or particular teams there was recognition of the value of guiding each fee-earner to focus on: Critical clients, prospects and referrers (around 10) Key relationships (around 150 – see Dunbar’s Law in Clientrelationship management (CRM) – how many close social (kimtasso.com) (..)
And to know when to cut their losses and move onto other potential referrer relationships. Working as part of a team helps people develop their relationship competencies which they can then transfer to clientrelationships.
There is a wide spectrum of engagement across the firm What can I do to motivate fee-earners and ClientRelationship Partners (CRPs) to communicate better with the M&BD to ensure we are providing clients with the best service?
