Stamp out the Sales V Marketing culture in your Company

Stamp out the Sales V Marketing culture in your Company

West London based business owner and author, Rod Sloane, said today that businesses that want to reduce the cost of new client acquisition and become more profitable need to first, end the internal fight between sales and marketing and then, increase sales and marketing alignment.

Rod Sloane, author of soon to be published book “Alignment...the Secret to getting your Sales and Marketing Teams working together” said “If your Sales and Marketing teams are fighting over language, leads and resources then your business is going to suffer. Most Sales and Marketing departments cannot even agree the definition of a lead. Get them to agree that first. Get them working together, not working against each other. That is the start to making wining new business easier and becoming more profitable”

“Alignment...the Secret to getting your Sales and Marketing Teams working together” is due to be published by Sunmakers Publishing in late 2009

Why is Sales and Marketing Alignment so Difficult?

Sales and Marketing Alignment is more challenging than it should be, this is often due to the fact that sales people are focussed on the short term i.e. this quarter and marketing is faced on the medium/long term.

In my recent podcast Christine Crandell gave a great ten point check list that you can use to help your company to get closer sales and marketing alignment.
