Sales and Marketing Alignment | Jan. 31, 2020
Connect the dots between sales and marketing.
Sales and marketing, in practice, can seem like they’re at odds, with different goals and priorities. In the past, the differences were manageable because these two groups didn’t overlap very much. As boundaries between different functions evolve and merge through technology integration, marketing’s role can be expanded to:
- Identify digital marketing elements that can be part of the sales discussion
- Brainstorm specific marketing programs that can aid sales negotiations
- Integrate sales and marketing tools through account-based marketing
Pam Didner, B2B marketing consultant, author of Effective Sales Enablement, would like to share with you what you can do to support your sales team better as a marketer.

How Natural Language Processing Helps You Create Better Content
Detailed content analysis is no longer humanly possible.
Effective content strategy needs more than just keyword research and rank tracking. A single page can rank for hundreds of different search terms making detailed analysis humanly impossible.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a form of AI that analyzes and interprets massive amounts of human language.
