What is large account management?
Very large customers often have multiple locations spread around the world. A large account manager is usually required to coordinate the efforts of many salespeople in different territories. It is a scaled-up version of key account management. Large account management means leading the sales efforts for a range of requirements while working through a remote team of people reporting to different managers.
