GOAL OF MARKETING AND SALES


AND MAXIMIZE THE GROSS PROFIT OF A COMPANY

TO INCREASE THE REVENUE


SALES SAYS:

• “I have no idea what you are doing in marketing.”

• “These leads are not the decision makers.”

• “These leads are not ready to buy.”

• “You are sending too many leads”

• “You are not sending us enough leads”

• “The marketing stuff does not match what we are saying.”

• “Our clients are not buying for the reasons that you say they are.”


MARKETING SAYS:

• “Give us some credit for your big sale.”

• “Why aren’t you using the content/presentation/collateral that

we have given you?”

• “You need to think like marketers not sales people.”

• “Stop complaining about the lead quality, maybe you just can’t sell.”

• “Sales isn’t following up on leads quickly when they are hot.”


“(60-70%) OF BUYERS SAY THAT THEY ARE DONE WITH THE SALES PROCESS

BEFORE THEY ENGAGE A SALES REPRESENTATIVE.”


“THE MORE CONTENT THEY CONSUME, THE BETTER QUALIFIED

THAT THEY ARE.”


“YOU WANT YOUR MARKETING TO BE DRIVEN BY THE VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER

AND NOT BY THE VOICE OF YOUR COMPANY OR TEAM.”
