Benefits of sales and marketing working together

  Chaitra Hondi

Some things are just meant to be together. Peanut butter and jam, alcohol and bad decisions. Believe it or not, sales and marketing work a lot better when working closely opposed to independently. One needs the other to succeed and overall, your business benefits greatly when both teams are aligned and working on the same page.

Lets see the benefits of sales and marketing :-

1.Better Qualified Leads:-

Your marketing and sales teams wasting their energy, time and leads on unqualified leads is never going to end well. Marketing will blame sales for not using the right materials or approaching poor leads too quickly , while sales will be claiming that the marketing content isn't good enough in the first place. When your sales and marketing teams are aligned and in regular communication, information can be flown freely from department to department,

2.Better engagement and stronger relationships:-

The more both teams communicate, the stronger their work and personal relationships will become so they'll eventually learn to trust each other. Rather than focusing on separate activities, implementing one shared vision and goal means they can rely on each other to hit their targets. Working together means campaigns can be more impactful, leads can be handled a lot better and potential buyers are more impressed.

3.Accurate buyer personas:-

Sales and marketing teams are responsible for attracting, nurturing, delighting and closing deals in inbound marketing. That means both teams need to be on the same page for added success. Teams that aren't on the same page and don't communicate effectively find that the buyer personas don't match up to the audience they are targeting.

4.Better and clearer feedback:-

By having constant communication between sales and marketing, unifying them means a strong relationship is established. This can lead to open lines of communication which creates a better opportunity to effectively refine strategies down the line. By having that communication and trust between both means, they'll both be more comfortable when asking the other team to make adjustments.
