The chasm between marketing and sales organizations has existed for years and continues to be a challenge. Now more than ever, with the speed and complexity of today’s marketplace, the need to bridge the gap is crucial to enabling profitable revenue growth.
The key to successful alignment is to institute a uniform process and language that encompasses the same diagnostic approach by both the sales and the marketing organizations. It means helping marketing rethink their approach to provisioning the sales organization with the tools and materials to guide the entire value creation life cycle from the value proposition (a capability) to value achievement (a promise fulfilled). It means transitioning both organizations from a presentation based focus on communicating value, to a diagnostic focus on creating value.
Jeff Thull, with first-hand experience in transforming the sales and marketing organizations, will share key insights from a case study of an organization’s change process. Gain invaluable insights into how aligning marketing and sales through this unique approach will translate your marketing strategy into sales results.

What Members Say About This Webcast
"Valuable insights as to buying behavior--painting the negative future if no positive action in the present is taken was a valuable insight. Also, the diagnosis of symptoms versus opinions about problems was an excellent distinction as well."
"Check this out, it has an interesting view on how the customer is potentially interpreting B2B communication which influences the decision making process eg. positive future vs. negative present."
