EP 114. Marketing and Sales teams don't always communicate as well as they could, resulting in unneeded stress, missed expectations, and lack of buy-in. Sales expert, Brooke Greening unpacks tips to build better relationships between sales & marketing teams. You need successful marketing to get the leads you need. You also need effective sales teams to get the sales you need. As a content marketer, here's how you can bridge the two better.
Both marketing and sales are crucial to a brand’s lead generation and revenue, but they often work apart from each other. Even when they come together in a meeting or on a project, it can be hard to understand each other’s roles and how they can help each other.
That’s why I invited sales coach expert and co-owner of Building Momentum Resources, Brooke Greening, to speak with me about the importance of marketing and sales. She has advice for both sides on how to build a stronger relationship, support each other, and drive better results.
Brooke is also a fellow StoryBrand Guide, which gives her insight on marketing with empathy and creating content customers will respond to.
Tune in to learn how you can get on the same page with sales, and start making collaborative decisions that lead to breakthrough results!
