Executive Panel – Business Leaders’ Insights on Marketing & Sales Decision-Making on October 14
Effective marketing and sales planning and decision-making can be a company’s competitive advantage or its Achilles heel. It’s clear that every business has the same goal: marketing needs to do more and sales needs to sell more. But exactly how marketing and sales professionals achieve those goals is where the differences exist.
Join us for an executive panel during which business leaders will share the priorities and expectations they set for marketing and sales professionals within their organizations. From the role marketing & sales professionals need to play in business planning and forecasting, to how they expect marketing and sales leaders to gain stakeholder alignment and communicate priorities and success.
