Sales And Marketing Alignment: Best Practices For 2022

Make 2022 the year you get your B2B sales and marketing teams working together towards a common goal. See Cognism’s 7 actionable alignment tips.

If you haven’t got your B2B sales and marketing teams aligned yet, you’re missing out on a wide range of benefits – and most importantly, more revenue. 

As we race towards 2022, make achieving sales and marketing alignment your new year’s resolution. In this article, we’ll look at seven ways to do it. But first, let’s look at the theory behind sales and marketing alignment.

Why B2B companies need aligned sales and marketing teams

Traditionally, a company’s B2B marketing and sales teams would work in silos, separate from each other. 

However, with both teams essentially working on the same process (turning strangers into customers), it became clear that they could achieve more by working together. 

When you get your sales and marketing teams aligned, you will see:

  • Better quality B2B leads coming into the organisation and moving through the sales process.
  • A simpler workflow with more collaboration, enabling you to work towards common goals.
  • A shorter sales cycle, more closed-won deals and more revenue.

B2B organisations that have aligned their sales and marketing teams have seen the difference. Check out these stats:

  • LinkedIn survey found that 87% of sales and marketing leaders believe collaboration between marketing and sales teams enables critical business growth.
  • In this survey, 94% of top-performing salespeople called the marketing leads they receive either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’. 
  • Research by Aberdeen Group found that achieving sales and marketing alignment could increase your revenue by up to 32% year-on-year.
