Marketing and Sales - Get Together!
My meetings sometimes surprise me. We live, learn, and teach sales and marketing! Today I was asked to speak to 75 people and the focus needed to be both. I cringe when I learn that sales departments loathe marketing and/or vice versa! It is common, but it takes both to win! I rarely speak to groups anymore as our clients get nearly 100 percent of our time. If your sales and marketing teams are not a team, you have a problem. Consider getting everyone together at one table and use this as an agenda:
News (personal or professional)
Numbers
Hurdles
Do all of these things without any judgment and watch your teams begin to gel together.
