Sales vs. Marketing: How to Bridge the Divide
How can we navigate the "family feud" between sales and marketing so we all succeed? Mark Hunter, The Sales Hunter, is on the show to talk about the common misunderstandings between teams and how to work together.
Mark Hunter is a best selling author, professional speaker, and founder of The Sales Hunter, an organization that trains companies and salespeople to achieve better sales and retain customers.
This episode is all about the age-old battle (or more, "misunderstanding") between sales and marketing departments and how to work through tension that often occurs. We explore the customer journey, the significance of effective communication, the need for alignment in strategies, and the need for quality metrics reporting. Mark discusses the role of personal branding on LinkedIn, and practical advice for bridging the gap between sales and marketing teams.
Takeaways
- The blame game between sales and marketing is unproductive.
- Understanding the customer journey is crucial for both teams.
- Salespeople should take responsibility for prospecting.
