Siemens receives award for best key account management
Under the company's Executive Relationship Program, the ten members of Siemens' Managing Board cultivate contacts with some 80 top customers. In order to better meet the needs of Siemens' international customers, Managing Board meetings have for several years regularly been held outside Germany and have also entailed customer participation. Most recently, the Managing Board convened in China, India, Brazil, Russia, the U.S. and Mexico, among other countries.
Worldwide, more than 1,200 key account managers at Siemens serve over 2,000 customers, who generate 40 percent of the company's revenue. To further expand its key account management system, Siemens is investing an amount in the triple-digit millions-of-euros range in the medium term. The investments will be used, among other things, to further expand the key account management system, provide training and continuing education for sales employees and develop improved software for managing customer processes.
