When it comes to growing revenue and growing market share, professional service firms keep looking for the legendary Holy Grail in all the wrong places: "Hire big-time rainmakers!" "Sign a heavy-hitting CMO!" "Acquire that hot boutique firm!"
Pursuing these silver bullet "solutions" avoids the real problem: Marketing and selling aren't effectively integrated internally. The real Holy Grail lies within: integrating marketing and selling into every person's job.
Join this RainToday.com webinar with internationally-respected expert Suzanne Lowe, author of the forthcoming book The Integration ImperativeTM, to hear research-backed findings and case study examples that show why and how forward-thinking firms are integrating marketing and selling throughout their organizations.
Specifically, Suzanne will discuss how you can:
- Benefit your firm by integrating marketing and sales, and where to begin
- Recognize your firm's marketing and sales integration break-downs
- Repair marketing and sales process disconnects to substantially improve marketplace success
- Create marketing-, sales-, and career-advancement benchmarks that ensure everyone contributes to marketing and selling
- Harness your firm's administrative functions (HR, IT, Finance, etc) to fuel marketing and selling results
- Lead cultural changes that effectively integrate marketing and sales at your firm
