Session Title: 4 Top Ways Marketing Fails Sales: And How to Fix Them
Session Description: The #1 job of marketing is to help sales sell more. Hear the 4 most common failures for marketers, and how to address these issues fast. Special guest Brian Groth, sales enablement manager from hyper-growth company Xactly. He'll explore a real-world example of how to synchronize how marketing and sales communicate with prospects.
Marketing is not focused on building the content that sales needs, or at least usually not all of the content they need.
Understandable, but sales needs to spend time closing deals, not creating content.
Right content, right time: Push the right sales enablement content to sales teams. Where they need it, when they need it.
Match content to any sales situation - by industry, persona, stage, and more.
Surface content anywhere - in Salesforce.com or mobile devices with Salesforce1
Centralize content from everywhere - your blog, videos, file shares, and internal content like sales training tool
Automatically recommend content that accelerates your sales process
Identify gaps in your content library to better target messaging to prospects
Alert sales teams via email and Chatter when prospects view content
Connect with Marketo, Eloqua, Pardot, or Hubspot for a complete view of your funnel
Pay based on factors the sales rep can control
