MCI Communications Corporation: National Accounts Program (Condensed)
Abstract
Concerns the early stages of a major-account program at MCI, a telecommunications firm seeking to penetrate the corporate-account market. Among the issues are: 1) coordination of field sales efforts with national account selling efforts; 2) sales strategy for major accounts; and 3) core sales-management decisions: the selection of account teams, demarcation of account responsibilities, compensation plans, and training issues.
