Are Salespeople Screwing Up B2B Marketing Performance? - Marketing Interactions

Are Salespeople Screwing Up B2B Marketing Performance? - Marketing Interactions | B2B OP TBS | Scoop.it

Digest...

 

Given those three reasons and assuming that a buyer has been nurtured and qualified before being handed off to sales (although research shows this doesn't happen for most companies who toss form completions to sales - but ignoring this) then it's up to the salesperson to capitalize on the work that's already been done. Or to screw it up. I'm seeing more and more sales communications that are screwing it up.

 

If your salespeople can't even be accurate about the type of interaction had with your company, what will your prospects think? And why, after one white paper download, do salespeople pursue leads? And, if they're going to do so, they'd damn well better figure out something more relevant that the email above. Which actually could be from any company, it's so vague.

 

So I ask you: How much damage are your sales team's practices doing to your marketing performance?

Absolutely correct! Marketing puts a tremendous amount of effort into persona building, content creation, etc., and then contact eventually becomes an MQL passed to Sales. Are they handling it in the same professional manner?
