RevRev Ep. 23 - Harvey Dunham

April 21, 2021 | Written by Dave Duke

Where do you go to manage and co-create value with your customers? No, I’m not talking about an internal only CRM system. I’m talking about WITH your customers?  To date, there hasn’t been a place where both sides, the supplier and the customer, can go to manage a relationship across the life of the relationship.  It’s time we talk more about what this can and should look like.

In this episode, I sit down with Harvey Dunham at SAMA (Strategic Account Management Association) to discuss the idea of creating a central ‘dashboard’ to collaborate and work collectively with customers to manage work, track progress and deliver value.  The concept of a dashboard is more than graphs and charts in this context, it’s a surefire way to develop stronger and more focused relationships with your customers on a path to customer success.
