Mike Montague, Director of Community Engagement at Sandler, interviews Patrick Carroll, Sandler trainer from Virginia, about Sandler's KARE tool for account planning.

How do you choose which accounts to pursue? Where should your reps be spending their time? Is it better to focus on keeping accounts, attaining new ones, recapturing lost clients, or expanding in existing accounts?

Especially in volatile markets, it is important to be proactive in maintaining and growing your business!

Mike Montague, Director of Community Engagement at Sandler, poses a question for you and your team to discuss in your sales meeting this week:

How do you choose which deals you pursue and which ones you don't?

• You don't have unlimited time, money, or resources.
• How do you know which deals are the most lucrative?
• Who do you want to work with and who should you run away from?
