The Goals of the Book “Sales and Marketing Alignment”

The main goal of the book is to guide sales and marketing teams to grow sales and reach their targets. 

Recent trends make it difficult for salespeople to reach prospects without help from marketing. If the two teams are in silos or arguing over lead quality, it will be hard to build the synergies needed to close sales. The book provides a framework and process for making this happen. It includes action items, scorecards, funnel strategies, content tactics, worksheets and much more.

The book is for business professionals responsible for driving revenue at a company. Because everyone at the company has a role in marketing and contributes to revenue, this topic has a very wide base of readers! 

Organizational leadership, key managers and sales and marketing professionals at all levels will benefit greatly from “Sales and Marketing Alignment.”

The book shows how team members can present sales and marketing alignment strategies and tactics to the leadership team. This is important to get buy-in and to educate leaders on how they may be the root cause of tension between sales and marketing teams.
