THE PROBLEM

 Sales blames marketing for setting prices


to high and being unaware of customer
wants

 Marketing team accuse sales to be


focused on individual customers and;

 This lack of alignment ends up hurting


corporate performance
THE PROBLEM

 IBM Issue

 Different Roles for Marketing

 Two Main Issues:


 The issues between the two teams are
either economic or cultural.
THE PROBLEM
 The marketing group is under pressure to achieve
revenue goals and wants the sales force to “sell the
price” as opposed to “selling through price.”
 The salespeople usually favor lower prices because they
can sell the product more easily and because low
prices give them more room to negotiate.
 Marketers, are highly analytical, data oriented, and
project focused. They’re all about building competitive
advantage for the future.
 Salespeople, in contrast, spend their time talking to
existing and potential customers. They’re skilled
relationship builders; they’re not only savvy about
customers’ willingness to buy but also attuned to which
product features will fly and which will die.
