Live account planning. Built for strategic account growth.

A live account planning platform that keeps stakeholder intelligence, propositions, engagement priorities and market signals in one place, so sales, BD and account teams can manage and grow their most important accounts between formal planning cycles.

Live account planning, built for strategic account growth
The platform

Keep every strategic account current and focused on growth.

Live account planning keeps account strategy connected to what is happening now, bringing together stakeholder intelligence, propositions, engagement priorities and live signals in one place for sales, BD and account teams.

Traditional account plans quickly lose relevance as customer priorities shift, stakeholders change, competitors move and new opportunities emerge. The platform gives sales, BD and account teams a consistent way to manage and grow their most important accounts between formal planning cycles.

The live account planning platform helps teams

  • Keep account plans current as customer priorities, stakeholders and opportunities change
  • Prepare for customer conversations with the right insight and messaging
  • Identify and act on new growth signals earlier
  • Coordinate sales, BD, account management, marketing and bid teams around one account plan
  • Turn account knowledge into clear actions rather than static documents
  • Apply a consistent approach across more strategic accounts
Inside the platform

One platform to manage and grow accounts

Account knowledge is often spread across CRMs, planning decks, spreadsheets, shared drives and individual teams. The live account planning platform brings it into one place, giving teams a working account plan that evolves as the customer, opportunity and market change.

Account strategy

Keep the account ambition, growth priorities and strategic direction clear and accessible to everyone involved.

Stakeholders and buying group

Build a shared understanding of the people who matter, their priorities, motivations and role in the decision.

Proposition and messaging

Give teams access to account relevant propositions, messages and proof for customer conversations and pursuit activity.

Plan and activate

Translate account priorities into clear actions across sales, BD, marketing, account management and bid teams.

Live signals

Monitor changes across the customer, competitors and wider market, understand why they matter and decide how to respond.

Built into the account rhythm

Teams use the live plan to prepare for customer conversations, review changing account signals, prioritise opportunities and decide where to act next.

The result is a shared account plan that moves teams from signal to decision to action, while staying focused on the growth objective.

What it enables

More growth from existing accounts

Identify expansion opportunities across buyers, teams and solution areas, helping account teams turn existing relationships into larger commercial opportunities.

Higher win rates

Give teams the intelligence, stakeholder understanding and account specific messaging to shape opportunities earlier and pursue them with greater focus.

Larger, longer term opportunities

Build a deeper understanding of customer priorities and where your capabilities can create value, helping teams turn individual opportunities into broader, longer term account growth.

More growth without proportional headcount

Give teams a repeatable way to manage more strategic accounts, reduce time spent rebuilding plans and focus commercial effort on the opportunities most likely to convert.
