Things to Ponder
• Is a little tension a good thing?
• Do we need a pre-nuptial agreement? SLAs? Lead definitions? Common
tools? Shared analytics? L2R (lead-to-revenue) frameworks?
• Does marketing still need to market marketing to sales?
• Are Canadian subs of foreign companies more or less prone to strife?
• Is Account Based Marketing going to save us all?
• How about predictive analytics?
• How do we bridge the gap?
