The maturing key account management (KAM) model has transformed the way customer-facing teams operate: the challenge now is to use metrics that reflect the diversity of these sophisticated relationships and drive them forward. But what works for one contact or KAM may not be appropriate for the next. How should pharma be formally assessing the performance of KAMs? And how are goals and measures affecting the evolving role of the successful KAM?

- Do quantitative performance indicators skew KAM focus?
- Just how credible are qualitative metrics? Is relying on ‘soft measures’ too risky?

- What is the right balance of short-term and long-term goals?
- KAMs versus other internal functions: collaboration or clash?
