Description
This is the first book that explores the shift that will become the future state operating model for companies seeking to remain competitive and relevant in this fast-changing digital world.
Since the earliest days of 'modern' marketing and sales, the departments that ran these key functions have been separate empires. They have different leaders, different budgets, and different organizational structures. However, with the overwhelming impact of continuous disruption, many organizations have been left floundering, unsure of how to get traction in the market. The old rule book has been torn up and thrown away.
Smarketing
explains how and why companies should blend sales and marketing into one single, streamlined smarketing department. Sales people will become better marketers, and marketers better sales people, leading to bigger, better business growth all round.
With clearly defined implementation strategies that can be applied by any company, regardless of size or sector,
Smarketing
is an invaluable resource for any marketing or sales professional looking to drive growth and success in the new era of marketing.
Reviews / Votes
"That old, moss-covered wall between sales and marketing in the brick-and-mortar world has been showing its age for a long time now. Some of us shout about it, but Hughes, Whicher and Gray take action and provide some answers."More details
