Episode

As marketers, it’s easy to focus solely on generating leads, but it’s equally important to ensure a smooth handoff to the sales team. A slight disconnect between the two teams hinders growth and success. So, how can we bridge this gap to foster better alignment and drive overall success?

In this episode, Neal Tricarico, co-founder of Sales Magic and a former executive at Digital Marketer, Tony Robbins, and Deepak Chopra, shares his insights on bridging the gap between marketing and sales, drawing from his experience leading teams to record-breaking results.

Neal talks about the concept of building a “relay team” where marketing and sales work together to guide prospects through the customer journey. He also breaks down the importance of defining marketing and sales qualified leads, ensuring effective communication, and setting up clients for success in the fulfillment stage.
