  3. Where the gloves meet: what’s causing misalignment

  4. This issue is nothing new. so why are we still talking about it?

  5. What sales actually wants: What marketing thinks sales wants: But just because someone clicked a button doesn’t mean they’re ready to buy

  6. Campaign mentality The problem with this mindset: What’s generated isn’t something sales agrees is a lead!

  7. What does this currently look like in the sales & marketing cycle? MQL/SAL Sales Marketing

  8. After long, you’ll start to hear gripes from your sales guys (and gals)… It makes sense: after so many bunk leads, why should they even bother? • The result: Marketing trust breaks down & Sales behaviors move to low hanging fruit

  9. For every 400 inquiries, only 1 becomes a closed opportunity. That is a conversion rate of only .25%. The traditional funnel promotes waste.

  10. Meet Account Based Marketing If it’s alignment we seek, how do we get there?

  11. What is an Total Addressable Market? • Total addressable market (TAM) is a term that is typically used to reference the revenue opportunity available for a product or service.

  12. What is an ideal customer profile? • A description of a customer or set of customers that includes: • Demographic • Geographic • Psychographic characteristics • As well as buying patterns, • Creditworthiness • Purchase history

  13. What is an ideal buyer persona? • A buyer persona is a detailed profile of your ideal buyers based on market research and real data about your actual clientèle. • The more detailed your personas are, the more results they’ll yield.

  14. Get it together! • It’s the job of both sales and marketing to agree on ideal customer profile • It’s marketing’s specific job to build the database and ensure the data is correct and properly structured. • Metrics need to be created that measure two critical items • ICP/IBP Completeness • Account Engagement
