CURRENT SITUATION IN BUSINESSES

  • 25% of businesses say their sales and marketing departments are rarely linked.
  • Just over a third of salespeople believe that the marketing department knows what they need, but 59% of marketers think they know what the sales department needs from them.
  • 33% of sales and marketing departments don’t meet often

Another Request Gen survey found that the three biggest obstacles to the alignment of sales and marketing departments are:

  • Communication (49%)
  • Faulty or flawed process (42%)
  • Working with different metrics (40%)

This is clearly a misalignment between two important parts of the Sales and Marketing business. Caused a lot of problems that happened during the work.

PROBLEM HAS BEEN:

  • Sales personnel lack information from customer data provided by MKT team => Not closing sales effectively, slow to respond to customers’ requests and questions
  • Sales do not understand when the MKT team does not provide market research information about customer portraits, clear product and service information >>> low closing rate
  • In the process of communicating with customers, sales do not coordinate to exploit customer information => MKT personnel lack research data, take more time, do not receive customer feedback to improve advertising or communication campaigns
  • MKT does not work with sales, it will be difficult to understand the problem – desire – actual behavior of the customer => not offering the right advertising campaign, typing the right customer plan
  • MKT Target personnel are not the right customers when sales personnel do not provide data to collect customers from reality.
  • When the sales program, or the communication campaign is not effective, the two teams have an attitude of blaming the other => causing conflict.

That is just one of the few problems that are happening every day in many businesses, which is the cause of the failure of communication campaigns, low closing rate, and revenue not meeting the set targets. .

Overcoming these things is that businesses will save a significant part of unnecessary costs and improve work efficiency to a new level.
