Imagine this scenario: a marketing campaign you develop ends up going to the wrong audience, or a segmentation analysis yields incorrect results because the data wasn’t updated. Fresh, up-to-date data leads to better business outcomes by ensuring that opportunities aren’t missed. And while you can set up automated requests for your API to update your data regularly, there is an easier, more efficient solution: webhooks.

Marketing and sales team alignment is the mythical holy grail for most companies. Good cooperation between these two can skyrocket your growth, while the opposite might turn out to be a dead-end for further scaling. The truth is that most companies fail to get it right. Salespeople complain about the quality of leads they are getting. Marketing teams find it hard to accept that all those opportunities they worked so hard to create failed to close.

What and how much the team is inputting can directly translate to outputs of goods and services, meaning better productivity can lead to more sales. For operations management, it’s important to understand how productivity works to help your team achieve its goals. That might mean identifying and reaching out to team members that are falling behind or reflecting on company and management processes that can either help or hinder product

When your people feel understood and appreciated, they will be intensely loyal to the manager who has demonstrated care and interest in their development. When you hear the word “coach”, what comes to mind? We often associate “coach” with a sports analogy. However, the origin of the word speaks to a different level of understanding. Historically, a coach was a horse-drawn carriage that transported important people from where they were to where they wanted to be.

As roadmaps for best practices, sales playbooks matter. But now, as we emerge from the maelstrom of the pandemic, they matter more than ever. To start this playbook conversation, let’s build our understanding through one of our favorite methods – the sports analogy. I wrote an article a while back comparing sales playbooks to soccer corner kicks. In a sport with very few settled situations, they present unique opportunities for strategy.

In fact, it can transform a challenge that on paper looks impossible and turn it into a somewhat joyful project.

For as long as sales has been around, a fierce debate has always raged about whether selling is a science or an art… I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Sales is part science and part art. Finding that intersection is really important for every salesperson. That’s the place where you’re able to follow a strong sales process , but still have enough “art” to go off script and hold the sale together.
