What is the goal of Strategic Accounts?

The Strategic Accounts program will streamline GES's GTM approach toward strategic accounts, improving long-term value creation and retention for the world's top HCM solution buyers. Our goals are to:

  • Accelerate penetration and growth of most strategic accounts, comprised primarily of payroll new logos (i.e., pure prospects, and current US non payroll clients)
  • Develop a long-term view of account relationship, sales and retention, with focus on driving synergistic value for both account and ADP
  • Deliver attractive value proposition for the client and growth potential for sales rep, removing distractions for targeted focus on strategic accounts
