That's, I guess that's the million dollar question here.
What I see in nine out of 10 scenarios, when I work with companies, the very first thing you can do to get an immediate assessment of how much collaboration there is between these two departments, how well they understand each other, and what areas of opportunity you can address is get them in a room together, and then had them both map out the entire customer journey.

Excerpts from this conversation with Gary Garth


That's, I guess that's the million dollar question here.


What I see in nine out of 10 scenarios, when I work with companies, the very first thing you can do to get an immediate assessment of how much collaboration there is between these two departments, how well they understand each other, and what areas of opportunity you can address is get them in a room together, and then had them both map out the entire customer journey.


So before they even become a customer, their prospect and that whole process to when they become a customer and understanding also, if you're looking at it from a as a as a business owner standpoint, their ability to cross sell, upsell products, collect testimonials, create case studies, how many referrals


Do you have understanding that whole process and aligning on all the different metrics? You will probably get one very clear picture from sales. And another picture for marketing.


So aligning those two customer journeys, less as and heavy one universal one will always tend to spark a lot opportunities because sometimes, the customer is continuously has communication with the account manager account executive in b2b, for example, but do they know exactly when to identify an upsell across an opportunity and how to promote it?


Could marketing for example, provide some content or collateral case studies, an ROI calculator that can demonstrate if you did x, y, z and expanded your service from Package A to B or added this or the product to the equation?


Here's the expected impact financially speaking as a result of that, all of a sudden, you'll see a lot of revenue opportunities.


So just mapping out the entire customer journey. That would be step number one.
