Shout it from the C-suite
› The very first step is an executive agreement
› In order to align the sales and marketing team it is important to make
sure that the goal comes from the high level within the company
Create “Pushy” Content
› Content marketing’s role is to push potential customers further down the sales funnel
before a salesperson even contacts them
› Marketing teams can create great case studies, testimonials and vertical-based
marketing e-mails to help potential customers get further along the sales funnel
Rethink Lead Generation
› Lead generation suffers when sales and marketing aren’t aligned, often resulting in a
“spray and pray” strategy that leads to time wastage
› There should be a complete process that needs to be in place where prospects come in
from marketing, marketing attracts them to the product or service, and then hands them
off to sales
Tie ROI to Marketing
› With a properly aligned marketing and sales alliance, marketing gets a great help in reporting
ROI
› To track ROI consider KPIs such as “deals influenced” or “deals sourced” to connect specific
marketing materials straight to bottom-line results

is being consumed, and who it is being
viewed by

Specific Sales Conversations

teams to personalize their sales
conversations and emails, making them

versions are being used with correct data,
giving them peace of mind and more time
for other marketing activities

and aren’t forced to create their own
content.
