    Sales & Marketing Alignment

    Bridge the gap and drive revenue together

    Design shared accountability models, SLAs, and processes that turn sales-marketing friction into collaboration.

    "The portfolio companies with the strongest growth all have one thing in common: marketing and sales sit in the same meetings, look at the same dashboards, and share the same goals."
    — Marketing Specialist

    The sales-marketing divide is the single biggest revenue leak in most B2B companies. This topic covers designing fair SLAs, defining MQL/SQL criteria that both teams accept, fixing lead handoff processes, building shared accountability metrics, and creating the regular communication cadence that keeps alignment strong over time.

    1

    Shared Definitions First: If sales and marketing can't agree on what a qualified lead looks like, nothing else matters. Start here.

    2

    Mutual Accountability: Marketing commits to lead quality and volume. Sales commits to follow-up speed and feedback. Both are measured.

    3

    Data Transparency: Both teams need visibility into the same pipeline data. Hidden metrics breed distrust and finger-pointing.

    4

    Regular Communication: Weekly pipeline reviews, monthly SLA check-ins, and quarterly planning sessions keep alignment from decaying.

    5

    Unified Revenue Metrics: The best alignment comes from shared goals. When both teams are measured on pipeline and revenue, collaboration follows naturally.
