I was on the back of our property with my chain saw and I was ready to take down the third tree of the afternoon. I determined where the tree needed to fall, made the two front cuts to create a hinge and made the final cut in the back to take it down. Only it didn't go according to plan.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.
