Lack of communication loses sales

A new report by the CMO Council and Business Performance Management Forum suggests that teamwork and communication between marketing and sales departments couldn't simply be better, but at times is close to dysfunctional.

According to the CMO report,

online survey of approximately 800 senior marketing and C-level executives, 38% of respondents said they could boost incremental revenue by more than 20% if their company�fs new business development practices were more effective.

Only 7% of respondents said their sales and marketing departments work together effectively to harvest business prospects.

As consumers, we've all surely seen this in action, at some point in our customer service dialogue. So it's hardly stating the unknown.

What makes this all the more of an issue is that the report suggests that not only is this a recognised problem, but it also implies that limited remedial action is actually being done to combat this within any given organisation.

Perhaps Communications Directors need to look within more than without?

Marketing: disorganised and unfocussed?
