Though Marketing and Sales are actually working toward the same objective — sustainable profitability, the two haven't always exhibited the greatest teamwork.

Through communication and greater collaboration, bank marketers can play a starring role in salespeople achieving their top goals.

Communication✤ One issue has been a lack of transparency; the two
groups don't always know what the other is doing, or understand the impact of those efforts.
✤ The more the two departments disengage from each other, the less likely they are to achieve that goal.

Greater Collaboration✤ A new report on sales enablement asserts that
companies that have a unified sales and marketing structure annually generate 20% more revenue than those who don't.
✤ When Sales and Marketing work together, firms also enjoy major improvements in key performance metrics (KPMs), such as shorter sales cycles, lower market-entry costs and lower cost per sale.

It starts With a ConversationIn a study involving 261 B2B companies, with 42% of those surveyed representing Sales and 35% Marketing:

Who Begins the Conversation?✤ The onus is not necessarily on Marketing to initiate
these conversations, but it's probably a smart move.
✤ These discussions can lead to Sales having a greater understanding of the role Marketing might be playing in helping to reach sales goals.

How is this Best Done?✤ The Harvard Business Review says face-to-face
meetings and brainstorming sessions are very effective at establishing the common ground needed to begin this collaboration.

database will enable both Sales and Marketing to identify all information a prospect views prior to a sales close.
