The company profile

Concept, B2B Lead Generation Agency

– Joe Stephan, VP of Operations

03 / THE CHALLENGE

Going from Telephone to Telemetry

Elevating Strategic Account Management

Concept serves more than 120 clients across multiple teams, each specializing in different service offerings, from outbound prospecting to inbound digital marketing. Ensuring seamless communication and strategic alignment across these diverse accounts was increasingly complex. Prior to Knownwell, account insights were fragmented, and proactive management required significant manual effort. Concept needed a streamlined solution to quickly identify at-risk accounts, prioritize resources, and leverage opportunities effectively.

A lot of times when we were trying to manage accounts previously, it required playing a lot of telephone, whereas Knownwell is now surfacing a lot of that information for us.

– Jeff Harsh, President of Concept

04 / THE SOLUTION

Harnessing Real-Time Insights to Drive Client Growth

Gaining Actionable Intelligence in Brand New Areas

By implementing Knownwell, Concept transformed scattered communications into actionable intelligence. Knownwell provides real-time visibility into account health, strategic recommendations, and industry developments that the Concept team simply didn’t have access to before. Now, Concept proactively identifies issues and opportunities, enhancing their responsiveness and strategic value to clients. Weekly strategic meetings leverage Knownwell scores to pinpoint accounts needing immediate attention, optimizing resource allocation and strengthening client relationships.

“Some of those accounts with issues we were aware of, but others it’s bringing to the top of the board, and it’s allowing our team to just make sure we’re comfortable that we have a plan.”

– Jeff Harsh, President, Concept

Sustaining Growth through Strategic Client Portfolios

Concept redefined its approach to strategic account management with help from Knownwell’s commercial intelligence analytics. The Knownwell platform enables Concept’s leadership to zoom out and assess broader trends across the entire client portfolio, revealing opportunities and challenges at an organizational scale. Energy allocation analytics further empower Concept to optimize team efforts, ensuring high-value accounts receive the strategic attention they deserve, supporting sustainable growth and client satisfaction.

“We’ve been using Knownwell to review what the score looks like, the strengths, the weaknesses. What do we need to prioritize? Just making sure the whole team’s on the same page.”

Knownwell has empowered Concept to shift from reactive client management to strategic portfolio optimization. With comprehensive, real-time visibility across accounts, Concept now quickly identifies and addresses broader trends, ensuring proactive management at scale.
