2 Ways to Get Sales to Actually Use Your Content
By Kelsey Loughman
Seventy percent of product marketers measure the success of product launches by tracking revenue impact.
However, in a complex B2B sales cycle, there are 10 to 20 steps between launching a new product and closing new business, and product marketers support every one of these crucial touch points. But when it comes to driving revenue dollars, the success of a product launch hinges on a key variable: the sales team.
This isn't news, yet many companies don't prioritize close alignment between these two critical teams—and it's an expensive problem. A company's inability to align sales and marketing around the right process and technology can cost upwards of 10 percent, or more, of revenue. You have a lot to lose and even more to gain if you take the time to assess how you work with your sales team.

Implementing a few measures in your marketing strategy can help minimize the disconnect between marketing and sales to maximize your revenue potential.
