Each department has different objectives
Marketing departments are typically only focused on marketing qualified leads (MQLs), which is how marketers can measure their performance and success. Unfortunately, this isn’t fair to the sales team. The sales team is judged by its ability to convert leads into customers, which means they need a good set of leads to make that conversion.
Lack of communication between departments
When you are trying to align the marketing and sales departments, you need to establish constant communication between both parties. Each department has to have a deep understanding of the goals and strategies, allowing them to set their own expectations for what they need from each other. Any lack in communication will only foster dysfunction and division between the marketing and sales teams.
Lack of engaging content
Marketing teams are responsible for creating engaging content to support and nurture the customer relationship. Because of their responsibility in this relationship, marketers are uniquely positioned to create engaging marketing and sales content meant to educate and inform the audience. Your sales team is responsible for engaging with the customer one on one, but that doesn’t mean they are equipped to build collateral. Without engaging, well-crafted content, your organization is at risk of losing a sale.
