Stronger Together: Aligning Sales and Marketing Planning

June 28, 2018

Sales and marketing are often handed a set of business goals, and then they independently develop operating plans. Pursuing separate planning tracks fails to take advantage of key strengths and knowledge that each organization brings to the table.

Failure to align planning efforts at the outset of operating plan development also can lead to execution misfires, wasted efforts and missed business objectives.
