Ep. 026: Sales and Marketing alignment
In this episode, we take a closer look at sales and marketing alignment, an essential factor in making any social selling program successful.
Together with our guest speaker, Josh Sweeney, we discuss these questions:
Should Sales and Marketing be one department or two? And why?
Goal alignment: how to make sure Sales and Marketing really work together in the same direction? How do you balance the long-term goals (brand-building and market-presence, marketing agenda) vs. filling the quota this quarter (sales agenda)
Leads: Quality of leads, how to make sure what marketing hands over to sales is actually sales-ready; from a marketing perspective: how to make sure the leads produced and handed over to sales are valued and followed-up upon
Technology stack: What are the tools that should be used in common
What can established companies learn from businesses that are just scaling up, having a chance to design their processes from scratch?
