Marketing vs Sales: Who Really Drives Growth?

Why do marketing and sales keep pointing fingers? Mike Adonteng explains the "push and pull" model of inbound marketing and outbound sales and how to get both teams working together.

* *Marketing is the "pull":* it builds awareness of the brand, product and organisation, which brings in inbound enquiries.
* *Sales is the "push":* outbound work such as research and heavy lifting. SDRs often pick up inbound leads and pass them on to salespeople.
* *The blame game:* each side says "we're doing our job" while pointing at the other.
* *The takeaway:* the best formula an organisation can build is a model where marketing appreciates the work of sales, and sales appreciates marketing.
