Key Highlights
- There must be communication and acceptance that both teams can work on the same thing.
- Identify who owns nurturing, when sales should step in, when marketing steps out, who is responsible for email creation, and who is the target audience and ICP.
- Who gets the credit? Attribution can distract from the right questions. There is rarely a single source, so splitting goals evenly and focusing on revenue is vital.
- Sales and Marketing should have a clear understanding of Personas; if there is some ambiguity, there will at least be the same language spoken to the same customer, and both teams will still communicate the same message.
- It comes down to if both teams are going to nurture a customer or if both teams are going to craft a product vision and storyline.
- Identify the top 3 areas of friction between Sales and Marketing and why the two teams may need to be aligned.
