You know - something interesting happens at organizations in which effective marketing and sales alignment occurs – they sell more. According to a recent Aberdeen Research study, companies that are best-in-class at aligning Marketing and Sales experienced an average of 20% growth in annual revenue, compared to a 4% decline in “laggard” organizations. At many of these successful companies, the sales and marketing organizations report to one senior executive who’s responsible for both lead generation and closing business. So, sales and marketing share more than just a C-level executive – they also share goals, technologies, and processes that allow them to monitor and optimize every stage of every sale, from first touch to closed deal.
