80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers. Most sellers already know this. What they don't have is a system for managing the other 80%.

In this episode, Josh and Dave introduce the KARE framework — a four-quadrant model for managing every account in your territory with intention, not just the ones you're comfortable with.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the Pareto principle creates a comfort zone trap for salespeople, and how most territories quietly shrink because of it
• The four KARE quadrants: Keep, Attain, Recapture, Expand, what each one means, and who belongs in each
• Why your Keep accounts and your Expand accounts aren't the same thing, even when they look like it, and the questions that tell you which is which
• How to think about Recapture accounts, including former customers you didn't lose, customers whose key contact moved to a new company, and accounts that are slipping from Keep into decline
• Why the Attain quadrant is where most sellers spend the least time, and why that's the most expensive habit in the business
• How your calendar is the real test of your territory priorities, and what it means if 80% of it is focused on keeping what you already have
• The business objective questions that turn account servicing into account growth

This episode is for account executives, account managers, territory managers, and any seller who manages an existing book of business and wants a system for growing it, not just protecting it.
