Aligning Sales & Marketing

Do you ever feel like your sales and marketing teams are on opposing sides? 

It’s been a constant battle for decades for many business owners. These two “sides” always seem to be chirping at each other… 

“These leads aren’t good.”  

“You don’t use our content properly to sell.”

Tell me something…Is this representative of your sales and marketing teams? 

WATCH THIS FUNNY VIDEO 

However, the real question is… 

Does it actually matter if your sales and marketing teams are aligned? 

Will that really help you SCALE your business?

I can simplify those answers for you in a few bullet points:

• You absolutely need sales.
• You absolutely need marketing.
• You ABSOLUTELY need them on the same page.
• Period. 

Sure, you’re selling. Revenue is there. But it’s just OK. 

Just OK is NOT how you are going to scale your business. 

At this point you might say, “Well look, if I’m selling, I’m selling. Marketing does their thing, sales does theirs.” 

And I’d agree, that works to a certain point. Say, up to about  $2M/year. Beyond that? 

No. 

Why does the alignment matter? Because sales people need the right assets to start and then continue conversations to build relationships…

Cohesion is needed on all fronts: branding, messaging, and especially offers. Remember, when a prospective client senses any type of inconsistency, trust is BROKEN. 

A great example is a pretty big insurance company a few years back. The sales team were ignoring everything the marketing team was creating–in fact, they were creating their own assets. Nothing was brand aligned, nothing was on-message with what the company’s marketing conveyed. 

Basically, everyone was selling from a different playbook. 

It worked for a while, but it crashed and burned. Buyers talked. People were getting different info, angles, and deals from different salespeople. 

Nothing was consistent. What eventually happened? 

People ended contracts. Eventually the brand was sold for pennies on the dollar to an apex player. 

The lack of cohesion killed them. 

What else can you do to better align your sales and marketing?

Two things. 

Incentives & Culture. 

Incentives are often overlooked by business owners. As a company scales, the folks at the top are generally the first to be taken care of – so they don’t always remember to create an incentive structure for the rest of the team that are in “the trenches”. 

It’s important that this incentive is one that motivates everyone to work together to reach both the short and long term goals of the company.  

Truthfully, sales and marketing have different incentive structures by nature. Sales is much more trackable. You sold A and B, or you didn’t. You sold them within this quarter, or you didn’t. Your pipeline is XYZ, or it’s not. 

Marketing is much harder to track. We have more marketing analytics than ever before in human history, but we don’t use them as well as we could. (A topic for another newsletter.) We’re not always sure whether A-piece of content or B-video or C-infographic or D-banner at the trade show drove those prospects into the funnel. 

We think we know, and we claim to know, but it’s not always as obvious as we want to believe.

Business loves “what’s measured is what matters.” So we focus more on sales, especially when there’s pressure from investors or the market. 

When we focus too much on sales metrics (and ignore marketing), and a strong company culture doesn't exist, it results in a few negative off-shoots. 

A lot of times in a company where revenue generation is seemingly the one and only metric goal, all the other important aspects of a business – customer satisfaction, employee connection to the mission (and eventual employee turnover) – fall by the wayside. 

Entrepreneurs can become overly-focused on immediate success instead of what long-term success would look like, and as a result, they might not even be a company in 8-10 years. 

Specifically at the sales and marketing levels, we see some flare-ups too:

• Sales starts treating marketing like their admins (example: “Schedule these calls for me.”)
• Marketing gets laid off because their ROI can’t be proven in tight, stressful windows. (And honestly, many Entrepreneurs we’ve worked with don’t even set up their analytics properly. They can’t prove ROI on anything outside of sales. That’s a bigger topic, again for a different newsletter, but–it’s definitely a problem.)

It’s a race to the bottom.

I’ve seen Entrepreneurs do pretty creative stuff around incentives…

 Extra days off, beer gardens, taco trucks, KPI-tied bonus structures. Those all work. But always remember, we can always go a step further… 

All of us want to belong to something. It’s a core principle in the hierarchy of needs. 

Oftentimes, the simplest incentive is respect and recognition and acknowledgement of a job superbly done. 

A few years ago we integrated something called “snaps” (and I can’t take credit for this idea, it all goes to Chris Tuff, author of The Millennial Whisperer). 

He says rewards and recognition are essential in any organization. They don’t have to be financial either. Chris calls out his team members in meetings, and gives them “snaps” for the good things they are doing in the company.

We took it a step further…

We encouraged each team member to give “snaps” to other team members when they do something worthy of recognition. 

We then added a quarterly award for the team member who got the most “snaps”. 

9 plus years of doing this, I can see the enormous impact that positive accountability has created within our team around our culture. 

Going above and beyond had become “THE” standard amongst the team. Performance soared. The team was happier than they’d ever been. 

Everything was just BETTER. 

It’s all about Culture. 

Companies miss on culture because it’s a poorly-defined word, almost amorphous in many organizations, and Entrepreneurs are often product people or idea people – they don’t always know how to corral the fluid energy associated with culture. 

When you are missing culture, chances are you also have high turn-over, which makes it nearly impossible to align sales and marketing. 

Here are some things to think about regarding both pieces of this puzzle…

Consider these questions on the incentives piece:

• Is your head of sales meeting with your head of marketing at least once a week to discuss wins and pain points? (If this role is the same person, are they meeting with people from each team once per week?)
• How can those in marketing earn more as the company scales?
• What is sales’ biggest win and biggest complaint about marketing?
• What is marketing’s biggest win and biggest complaint about sales?
• How often do the two sides meet and discuss their goals, individually and collectively?
• How transparent are the metrics everyone is being evaluated on?

Consider these questions on the culture side:

• What is your culture? Can you define it?
• Do you have core values?
• Can people on your team recite those core values without checking your website? 
• What activities, remote and in-person, shape your company culture?
• How often are you talking with and involved with all your team members?
• What’s the most fun thing about working with you, and your company? 
• What do they tell their friends at happy hour about working in your company?
• How often do you revisit this idea of culture and reshape it?

These are big questions and they take time, and they look different at different growth stages. A company with five employees and $2M has a different culture and incentive structure than a company with 200 employees and $3B. 

You may prattle on about “the DNA” of your culture, but the jump from $2M to $3B changes virtually everything, and it’s best to lean into that reality as you go.

So where do we come in? Well, the good news for you is, we’ve been doing all this stuff for decades now, collectively. We maximize sales and marketing output all the time, and work with teams on culture (and even now hiring) daily. 

We put much of this under the umbrella of strategy, but we can also help with the nitty-gritty around Leads on Demand and more.

Is your website cutting it?

I don’t need to preach to you about the importance of a web presence. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, you might have even been able to get away without having a website. But in today’s world, the consumer market literally expects it.

A whopping 84% of today’s consumer market believe a website makes your business more credible than companies who just only have social media pages.

People who can’t find a website for a business will automatically discount it as NOT LEGIT.

There is no doubt about it. People are going to check you out to answer this big question in their mind:

“Is this person for real?”

They’re going to check out your website. They’re going to search for you on Google. They are going to try and find out all the information that they can on you.

When they do find you, they will start looking for anything inconsistent (it’s just human nature).

What we’re ALL looking for is TRUST when we are looking to buy or invest in something important.

Like it or not, people are constantly making decisions every time they’re watching a video or they go to a page on your website. They are looking for answers to these questions:

“Is this person for real?”

“Can they really help me?”

“Can this product or service really solve my problem?”

“Is this the company for me?”

“Are we aligned?”

It’s incumbent upon each of us as Entrepreneurs and business owners to make that decision a NO-BRAINER for them.

So the most important question you should be asking yourself now is…

How effective is MY website?

We wondered the same, so we threw an offer out to our list. The offer was to get their website evaluated by our expert team and get at least 3 immediate wins to help them convert more leads.

Here’s what happened…

• Ben discovered how to optimize his prospect journey so his visitors are 100% confident they have landed in the right place, AND how to make it crystal clear to his audience exactly what he wants them to do.

Our strategist also revealed what Ben’s prospects REALLY want and how to convey that message and positioning in a way that resonates with his target audience at a high level.

Hint: No matter what you think, the truth is, your prospects really don’t want what it is you sell… What they really want is the result your product or service will provide them.

• Brad was surprised to learn he had no clear CTA on his website…He also discovered an incredible way to showcase the power of transformation when it comes to leveraging his social proof. Our strategist also revealed one of the biggest missing elements on Brad’s site that most others don’t consider either…

Hint: People buy from people. Erasing the human-to-human element can definitely dissuade your audience and hurt your conversion rate.

Now you may be asking yourself, “Why would I watch a critique of someone else’s website?”

Short answer: The same advice our expert team gave to another business owner about their website, could very well apply to you and yours.

Always remember, sometimes the smallest hinges swing the biggest doors.

To your success,

David
