Historically marketing and
sales have functioned
completely separately.

inbound marketing
principles,
sales and marketing have
begun to work together to
gain and close leads.

create a seamless sales
and marketing process.

Buyer
Personas
Sales and Marketing
should discuss and agree
on who their buyer
persona(s) is
and what it is that makes
them a qualified lead.
This will give the marketing
team a clear vision of the
content
and tone they need to
create in order to attract
appropriate leads.
You are off to the races!

Marketing has now handed
the baton off to Sales.
The sales team can use all
the data within your CRM
to make closing the sale
easier.
Use the lead’s online
behavior to your
advantage.
Analyze
the
Process
Are you happy with the
results from this past
month and/or quarter?
If so, look at what
contributed to that success
and repeat it.
If you are not happy, both
teams should work
together to tweak your
process.
Start from analyzing if the
buyer persona and criteria
for a sales qualified lead
are correct.
Then move along the entire
process.
