Sales & Marketing Are at War
Marketing celebrates MQLs. Sales ignores them.
Customer Success blames both.
Meanwhile, your buyers experience a disjointed mess
and your competitors win.
The Battle Lines Are Drawn
Every revenue meeting is a finger-pointing session. Marketing says they're delivering leads. Sales says the leads are garbage. Leadership just wants someone to hit the number. The only winner? Your competition.
The MQL Wars
Marketing hits their MQL target. Sales accepts 12%. Everyone argues about lead quality while deals slip to competitors.
The Blame Game
"Marketing doesn't understand our buyers." "Sales doesn't follow up." Sound familiar? That's dysfunction, not collaboration.
Conflicting Metrics
Marketing measures MQLs and engagement. Sales tracks SQLs and close rates. No one measures what actually matters: revenue.
Data Silos Everywhere
Marketing automation has one story. CRM tells another. Customer Success uses spreadsheets. Good luck finding the truth.
Mixed Messages
Marketing promises one thing. Sales pitches another. Customer Success delivers something else. Your buyers are confused.
Revenue Leakage
Deals die in handoffs. Leads go cold waiting for follow-up. Renewals surprise everyone. Money is falling through the cracks.
Why Sales & Marketing Can't Get Along
Different Definitions of Success
Marketing gets bonused on MQLs. Sales gets paid on closed deals. Customer Success focuses on retention. Three teams, three different games.
No Shared Process
No agreement on what makes a qualified lead. No SLAs for follow-up. No handoff process. Everyone makes it up as they go.
Technology Disconnect
Marketing automation doesn't talk to CRM. CRM doesn't connect to Customer Success tools. Data lives in silos, teams work in isolation.
Historical Baggage
Years of failed initiatives. Broken promises. Trust eroded. Now every meeting starts with skepticism instead of collaboration.
Lack of Unified Leadership
CMO and CRO in different worlds. No Chief Revenue Officer thinking holistically. Nobody owns the entire revenue engine.
Cultural Divide
Marketing thinks Sales is lazy. Sales thinks Marketing is clueless. Customer Success thinks both are the problem. Toxicity breeds.
