Marketing And Sales Alignment

As sales and marketing leaders you know alignment is critical. When these two teams operate from the same page, with shared goals, decisions, and rewards, everyone wins. In fact, B2B organizations with tightly aligned sales and marketing operations achieve 24% faster three-year revenue growth and 27% faster three-year profit growth. Being responsible for this kind of growth could be life-changing yet most companies haven’t cracked the code. According to Forrester Research, only 8% of companies have strong alignment between these two teams meaning there is work to be done.

Traditionally, marketing and sales teams have worked in their respective silos, intersecting as required. Marketing focused on building the brand and engaging in activities to further brand expansion, while sales focused on building pipeline and closing deals. Today, technology and a laser focus on investing in those areas that drive revenue growth have changed this. If marketing leaders want increased budgets, they need to know the strategies they have put in place yield results. And to be able to do that, they need to partner tightly with sales to understand every aspect of the buyer journey and the overall buying cycle. How and when does sales engage? What tools do they leverage? How do they move the process along?
