The Cost of Disconnected Sales and Marketing Processes
In many organizations, there’s palpable friction between marketing and sales teams. Should marketing be responsible for MQLs, meetings, pipeline—or all three? Why aren’t sales converting and closing enough deals? Too often, what happens between these teams is messy, manual, and misaligned. Leads fall through the cracks, handoffs lack crucial context, and reporting becomes a guessing game.
This internal disarray doesn’t just hurt alignment—it damages the customer experience. When prospects encounter inconsistent communication, slow follow-ups, and disconnected touchpoints (like having to repeat themselves), trust erodes. Frustrated buyers turn elsewhere, leading to lost revenue and poor marketing ROI.
High-Performing Organizations Take a Different Approach
Leading organizations aren’t leaving sales and marketing alignment to chance. They map every step from initial awareness to deal closure and beyond—building a lead-to-revenue engine that’s repeatable, measurable, and scalable. This transformation starts by:
- Connecting marketing, sales, and revenue operations teams around shared goals.
- Unifying data and streamlining workflows.
- Executing clean, actionable handoffs—not just basic lead routing, but delivering rich, contextual insights throughout the customer journey.
And it’s all powered by Salesforce.
