Maps
Maps provide a visual representation of relationships, goals, issues, risks, teams, processes, and more.
Use maps to:
- Visualize where you have cross-sell opportunities in key accounts and where competition is established
- Gain a visual picture of key stakeholders inside and outside your accounts
- Identify friends and enemies
- Document your customer's key business strategies, initiatives, and challenges
Five different map types exist.
