Today, I go deep on how to approach aligning your marketing and sales teams. It’s a topic I repeatedly hear most companies struggling with, and I’m excited to discuss the following:

  • The definition of what a good lead is 
  • How to get marketing and sales to collaborate on a sales pitch
  • The importance of incorporating a sales pitch testing protocol 
  • Why you need structure to bring together marketing, sales, and product teams

We’re getting so close to the launch of my next book, Sales Pitch! You can pre-order it today on Amazon with the links below:
