A strategic roadmap for B2B leaders ready to take on the challenge of aligning their sales and marketing teams to win the business of modern buyers.
Create Togetherness encourages B2B leaders to examine the relationship between sales and marketing and head toward alignment. The misalignment of these two departments has resulted in companies falling behind their competitors by failing to acknowledge a structural flaw responsible for a significant loss in revenue. For companies wanting to accelerate revenue growth and advance in the B2B marketplace, Jeff Davis, a sales and marketing alignment expert offers a step-by-step guide for sales and marketing to join forces, thereby creating a partnership between the two to meet the new demands of the modern buyer.
Digital disruption has spurred B2B leaders to rethink the silo mentality that has been responsible for the dysfunctional relationship between sales and marketing. When alignment transformation is handled slowly and with open communication, companies will be able to provide a higher-level customer experience to satisfy target buyers’ demands. Create Togetherness presents the many advantages companies experience after the alignment transformation of sales and marketing has been implemented.
This book provides valuable insights by helping leaders:
• Discover the extent of misalignment between sales and marketing in their organization.
• Understand the benefits of a strategic approach to long-term, sustainable alignment.
• Learn why technology cannot cure misalignment.
• Discover a strategic roadmap to start the alignment transformation journey.
Enjoy the journey to creating togetherness.
"The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out" by Jamie Mustard
https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/iconist-jamie-mustard
Why do we immediately recognize art by Van Gogh and Warhol?
What does Beethoven share with Rage Against the Machine and Madonna?
What makes us remember the words of Churchill and King (and Domino's Pizza, for that matter)?
With the rise of digital media and advertising, a constant barrage of information makes it nearly impossible to be seen and heard. In The Iconist, branding and design strategist Jamie Mustard shows you how individuals, organizations, and brands can break through the noise.
The secret to standing out lies in creating content that the desired audience will "lock" onto and remember with little effort - simple, bold ideas that can be immediately understood. The Iconist reveals a set of primal laws in human society that explain why some things stand out and endure in the mind, while others are rejected. Blending relevant examples from history and pop culture with cutting-edge psychology, Mustard explores why certain things stick and others fade from memory - and gives you an owner's manual to make any idea, product, or service stand out and be remembered. Forget relying on luck or trial-and-error: Mastering this process will enable you, no matter your field or endeavor, to confidently craft messages that resonate with your target audience through simple, fool-proof methods.
For businesses, marketers, teachers, advertisers, artists - from thought leaders to anyone trying to write a resume - The Iconist shows how to grab and hold attention. Fair warning, though: This book will change the way you view your audience...and the entire world around you.
The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind By Jonah Berger
https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/the-catalyst-jonah-berger
Everyone has something they want to change. Marketers want to change their customers’ minds and leaders want to change organizations. Start-ups want to change industries and nonprofits want to change the world. But change is hard. Often, we persuade and pressure and push, but nothing moves. Could there be a better way?
This book takes a different approach. Successful change agents know it’s not about pushing harder or providing more information, it’s about being a catalyst. Catalysts remove roadblocks and reduce the barriers to change. Instead of asking, “How could I change someone’s mind?” they ask a different question: “Why haven’t they changed already? What’s stopping them?”
The Catalyst identifies the key barriers to change and how to mitigate them. You’ll learn how catalysts change minds in the toughest of situations: how hostage negotiators get people to come out with their hands up and how marketers get new products to catch on, how leaders transform organizational culture and how activists ignite social movements, how substance abuse counselors get addicts to realize they have a problem, and how political canvassers change deeply rooted political beliefs.
This book is designed for anyone who wants to catalyze change. It provides a powerful way of thinking and a range of techniques that can lead to extraordinary results. Whether you’re trying to change one person, transform an organization, or shift the way an entire industry does business, this book will teach you how to become a catalyst.
