CRM allows businesses to develop long-term relationships with established and new customers while helping streamline corporate performance.

Relationship marketing helps retain customers over the long term, which results in customer loyalty rather than customers purchasing once or infrequently. Relationship marketing is important for its ability to stay in close contact with customers.

How to align marketing and sales to secure High growth in annual revenue

Generating revenue through Sales and marketing that infuse blood into the organ. I say sales and marketing are the HEART of any company and business that INFUSE blood.





I always love Interested in sales and marketing. Sales and Marketing are the bottom lines of any company and business. 

In our body, so many organs work to produce blood in a synchronized way. Synchronization is the matter. But there is a conflict in blood cells between red and white blood. Is this a conflict or Friction? This is a race to reach out to the center. Central deviation that generates Life circulation Electron and Proton creates electricity. I might say it competition to reach out to the center.

We see in the shallow engine there is a big and solid wheel. When it starts rotating that creates more motion forward and circulation due to the velocity of running that generate power and saves fuel consumption. Speed and running generate more movements and movements create power. Engine starts the using whole power to rotate the ROUTER WHEEL first. When starting release the engine from heavy lifting and oil consumption and use of power.  The Wheel makes it easy and secures smooth rerunning out of circulation. SO MOTION IS POWER.

The mission is power, not emotion. No friction or conflict between sales and marketing. A likes hand and legs of a body. Marketing is the leg of the plan to move and Hands catch out, Lead, generate, and divert customers into revenue. Hangs are the gripper we called the sales.  

Same in the case of sales and marketing- When sales and marketing bury the proverbial hatchet, they enjoy a shorter sales cycle, better overall ROI, easier marketing attribution, and happier customers.

Aberdeen Research reports that companies that are best-in-class at aligning marketing and sales enjoy an average of 20% growth in annual revenue. Laggard organizations, in the meantime, experience a 4% decline in annual revenue.

When sales and marketing bury the proverbial hatchet, they enjoy a shorter sales cycle, better overall ROI, easier marketing attribution, and happier customers.

Like most of the problems that modern marketing encounters, a commitment to Agile processes and principles can help solve the sales/marketing alignment conundrum.

Brand awareness, content marketing, social media engagement—these long-term marketing initiatives are unlikely to create immediate sales, but they’re nonetheless key to a successful marketing strategy.

Similarly, both teams squabble over the quality and quantity of leads that come in.

Commit Your Agile Marketing Team to Sales Support.

Conclusion

There are so many resources online from competent authors and authorities. I just would like to highlight the new upcoming world order. For better understanding you may read the following to draw a conclusion: 

An approach for SMEs to becoming Agile in a dynamic Post Pandemic & Ukraine Russia War to survive. 


Are Your Marketing and Sales Teams on the Same Page?

Throughout the pandemic, businesses have needed to continuously adapt as customer needs and preferences evolve. But that quick adaptation is difficult when the business lacks alignment between the departments that most frequently speak to potential customers: sales and marketing.

When sales and marketing teams aren’t aligned, both suffer: In fact, sales-marketing misalignment is estimated to cost businesses more than $1 trillion each year. Why? This misalignment can lead to a lack of trust and understanding between the two departments, which makes every step of working together more difficult and, therefore, slower. 

A Harvard business review to DOWNLOAD 

"Organizations Need a Dynamic Approach to Teaching People New Skills"

FOBES Magazine post: Alignment is a model. If you sync then that model is adjusted to accommodate where you tell it is when you perform the sync.

 

Steps to Sales and Marketing alignment : 

Step 1: Define company strategy and goals...

Step 2: Define buyer personas and appropriate messaging...

Step 3: Agree on a shared Sales and Marketing pipeline and content distribution...

Step 4: Implement a culture of collaboration...

Step 5: Place CRM at the heart of your business.

 

Why is sales and marketing alignment so important?

Sales and marketing alignment is potentially the largest opportunity for improving business performance today. When marketing and sales teams unite around a single revenue cycle, they dramatically improve marketing return on investment (ROI), sales productivity, and, most importantly, top-line growth.


What is marketing and sales alignment?

Sales and marketing alignment is a shared system of communication, strategy, and goals that enable marketing and sales to operate as a unified organization. Working together, aligned teams can deliver high-impact marketing activities, boost sales effectiveness, and ultimately grow revenue.

 

Sales and marketing misalignment is extremely common, and companies with divided sales and marketing teams that function separately are putting themselves at a disadvantage. Both your marketing and sales teams have the same goal of driving sales and revenue, so it is crucial to keep them in sync. Sales and marketing alignment is potentially the largest opportunity for improving business performance today. When marketing and sales teams unite around a single revenue cycle, they dramatically improve marketing return on investment (ROI), sales productivity, and, most importantly, top-line growth.


The silos between sales and marketing departments are a long-standing issue throughout every industry. The problem with misaligned sales and marketing teams is the inefficient processes that arise, ultimately wasting time creating content without a clear objective. In fact, the Content Marketing Institute reports that 60 to 70% of B2B content is never used because the subject topics are irrelevant to the buyer's audience. Meanwhile, 79% of marketing leads never convert due to a failure to nurture consumer connections (HubSpot). If both teams were on the same page, all that work would be less likely to go to waste.

“Since no one knows what the world will look like in the future, even the near future, Agile organizations use the ability to learn and adapt. Scientific thinking is exactly that: a process of deliberately engaging reality with the intent of learning.”

 

Alarming uncertainty due to Post pandemic and Russia - Ukraine WAR era…inflation may lead to uncertain buying power and unemployment situation might cause next… business has to cut your coat according to your cloth…the simple math of the time

 

Corporate and multinational companies always have their backup plans.  Moreover, they manipulate state power to invade IRAQ Libya Ukraine to loot and manage… can do and undo anything from hoarding (the recent Bangladesh scenario) to creating the caustic situation to catch the fish out of muddy water…  

 

But SMEs can’t … they don’t have backup and manipulating powers!?
They are the first responders in this regard to overcome the situation.    

 

COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent Russia-Ukraine war brought forward the Agility. This is not about agile scrum management. Talking about, Agile = A practical application of scientific thinking.

Teams and organizations can use scientific thinking to help them set and achieve goals even though the path can’t be fully known ahead of time.

 

Helping employees develop scientific thinking empowers them to solve problems and make decisions


While a basic example, this is the defining characteristic of business agility—embracing a culture change of disruption of normal working processes and using technology to help you improve your productivity, cut unnecessary costs, and improve your product and service. 

  1. Using technology to help you improve your productivity
  2. Cut unnecessary costs
  3.  And improve your product and service.

Using the tech and automation apps 24/7 improves productivity…

Distractions are the primary reason for reduced productivity in a team. The team loses focus because of these distractions and cannot really justify why they delivered lower than normal productivity.

Unnecessary Unprofessional Manpower or Team recruitment to cut unnecessary cost by choosing Talented Creative Innovative Productive individuals that improves the products and services indeed.

 

What does being agile in the workplace mean?

Agile working is about bringing people, processes, connectivity and technology, time, and place together to find the most appropriate and effective way of working to carry out a particular task. It is working within guidelines (of the task) but without boundaries (of how you achieve it).

  1.  Bringing people and Processes
  2. Connectivity and technology
  3. Time and place together to find the most appropriate and effective way of working to carry out a particular task.

Key Skills are:
