Where you're no longer judged against your competitor
You’re judged against every buying experience, ever
![Page 8: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Customers aren’t asking what to
buy…
…rather what to buy in to?
![Page 9: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

mean…
Be Too Boring?

Losing companies are focusing on products and services
Winners focus on the experience
![Page 11: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
the only way to align sales and marketing
is to focus on customers not products
![Page 12: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The B2B Lead
![Page 13: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Your audience doesn’t want to become a sales lead…
…they want to solve a problem
![Page 14: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
content is the link between
companies and customers
![Page 15: The Convergence of Sales & Marketing](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/587039e81a28ab4e2c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But content alone is not enough…
you need content in contextto build trust

Get closer to your customer
Have a process to get feedback from the front line to the rest of the business

Hold regular sales and marketing meetings
Get in the same room
