Marketing and Sales MUST work hand-in-hand if you're going to stay competitive, and this book will show you how!

Marketing is no longer about setting up golf outings!

~ President & CEO, Leading Electrical Distributor

It’s no secret that Sales and Marketing Teams often fail to see eye to eye on which marketing pieces and activities work best to attract and close more sales. Except for the most progressive distribution companies, I’ve seen this as a constant in the distribution industry.


The institutional disconnect between these two functions can lead to a very real sense of opposition. This disconnect cannot continue if a company is going to survive, let alone thrive.


The Marketing and Sales Teams should share the same end goal: to increase revenue by increasing sales.

The Distributor's Guide to Sales & Marketing Alignment will teach you these five steps your company can take toward a successful partnership between marketing and sales:

Create Buyer Personas

Buyer personas are the fictional representations of your target market segments. They’re commonplace in marketing these days but they’re only valuable when they’re correct.

Identify the Best Content

Spray and pray tactics get zero results. Narrow down your marketing to content that will provide the most value to your audience. Result? Great ROI on marketing while attracting the most qualified leads.

Nail Down the Sales Cycle

When marketing takes the sales cycle into account, they'll complement your sales team with well-timed marketing campaigns containing content that is valuable to a particular recipient at a particular time in the sales process.

Define Quality Leads

SQLs are the best measurement of lead quality (before revenue generated). So as not to waste the time of your sales team, it’s important that the marketing team knows when to pass a lead over to them.

Focus on Metrics that Matter

A close partnership with sales will help your marketing team keep your ROI perspective in check, and as a result, the success of every marketing campaign becomes very measurable.
