Today On CrisisCast 2020 - No relation to the pet detective… David Ventura - A consultant who specializes in key account management. I’d normally see him at school pickup a few times a week, where he’s generally about to go / or returning from a long commute working with clients or doing a speaking gig.
So… since I couldn’t catch up with him at the local pub with the other dads (where we’d often find ourselves talking about running business and the best service station on the M40), I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to discover exactly what Key Account manager does and more to the point… what he makes of this situation. And by the way if you’re wondering about the service station… It’s Beaconsfield - Because parking is great and Pizza Express is always a winner.

The key to any great ‘performance’ is integrity and authenticity. The same applies to business.
