Introduction to the guide
B2B Marketing and sales teams have a reputation for not getting along. Working towards the same ultimate goal in different ways means there is less friction. We’ve all heard that when the sales are coming in it’s because the sales team is doing a great job and when the sales slow then the marketing team needs to ‘up their game’.
How to achieve this? This guide will give you practical recommendations on how to get your sales and marketing teams working more effectively, covering processes, systems and cultural issues you need to manage in business-to-business organisations.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is for senior sales managers, CMOs and Marketing managers but it may also be applicable to CEOs who are keen on working towards sales and marketing working closer together.
