Aligning Marketing to Sales

This event is over.

Seats are limited and confirmation of attendance will be required in advance of the session.

 

Marketing and sales alignment offers the single greatest opportunity for improving business performance. The challenge is that sales and marketing can view things differently. In the B2C world, sales is mostly focused on the channel (the customer), while Marketing is often primarily focused on the consumer. This can make alignment between the two organizations even tougher.

In this workshop, you will learn that coordination and alignment between marketing and sales requires more than just tacking marketing communications onto the front end of an existing sales process. You will learn how to coordinate marketing and sales objectives, strategies, activities, and goals. Using discussions and exercises, you will learn about the causes of misalignment, define terms to improve communication, create actionable processes and improvement plans, and you will discover how to eliminate misalignment going forward.

Led by a former CEO of several divisions of a Fortune 200 company, this workshop shows you how to better align marketing and sales within your organization; you will gain an understanding of the frameworks and techniques needed to execute B to C marketing and sales alignment. You will address your own marketing and sales alignment challenges and you will also create an activation blueprint that helps to improve alignment.
