It’s now or never: if leaders want to stay up to date with today’s B2B buyers they must embrace new organizational, collaboration, and compensation models. Unfortunately, despite the massive benefits of cross-departmental initiatives, progress is not where it needs to be.
The benefits of lining up your sales and marketing teams, specifically, are huge: According to Aberdeen Research, companies that align the two experience up to 20% annual revenue growth.
If revenue is the end goal, what are the processes that get you there?
- Data-driven processes. High-performing sales teams are 2.8X more likely to be outstanding or very good at predictive intelligence.
- Social selling. Companies with formalized social selling processes have 39% higher sales and marketing alignment than those that don’t.
