UNITING SALES AND MARKETING: THE KEY TO UNLOCKING SCALABLE GROWTH

Integrating Sales and Marketing for Success

One of the most overlooked opportunities during times of organizational transformation or integration of new acquisitions is treating and analyzing the sales and marketing functions as individual units. While each has a separate and distinct role to play within the company, they also share key goals — primarily being to generate more revenue. Understanding the key bridges between the two functions is critical for growth and adding value to the organization.

For most private equity (PE) firms, the current economic environment makes this an even more important strategy for growth at a time when deal making is not as easy due to market uncertainty, high multiples and increasing interest rates. In this environment, unlocking more value with the portfolio companies they already own is ever more crucial.

Reassessing sales and marketing in a more holistic way, even integrating them more tightly, can produce the added value of sustainable long-term growth.

Key Strategies for Integration

Through years of experience working in the PE arena, A&M has established five major areas where sales and marketing functions can be enhanced and integrated to drive long-term revenue growth:

1. Take an Integrated Approach
2. Improve Communication
3. Enhance Lead Generation
4. Increase Customer Retention
5. Make Data-Driven Decisions
