Well said. I’d add that I’ve never seen incredibly negative people turn around…even if it looks like folks are positive outwardly, the negativity manifests itself in other ways and continues to be destructive. It all starts with the hiring process…spend the time needed to determine the cultural fit…if the gut says there’s a problem, it’s 100% sure that problem will play out!

I am on the technical side of sales for a semiconductor company, and a few years ago my boss moved from sales to product planning, which was under marketing. At the next sales conference he said the following:

“As most of you know, I recently moved from the sales organization to marketing. After being here for a while and thinking about it, I think I have figured out the difference between sales and marketing.

In marketing, you KNOW when you’re lying.”

It took us all a second to figure it out, but then uproarious laughter ensued.

So then my question is what do you do to get sales and marketing working together? I envision a perfect feedback loop, where the sales folks sell on the message and the marketing peeps tailor the message to information they get from the sales, but what are the barriers to this kind of integration? Besides the simplistic desire for praise, of course.

I was just discussing this topic with someone on Twitter. Part of the problem is caused because they often have two seperate agendas and both sales AND marketing don’t understand each other’s challenges, goals and objectives. If a company took a risk and successfully integrated these two departments, I suspect that the results could be staggering.

Cheers!

I thought the blood feud was between Developers and Marketing/Sales! Do we have a multi-front war here?

To be honest, if my bachelor pad doesn’t have clothes on the floor it probably means I’m not getting anything important done. In some ways it’s good news that few people have time to think about such things. Now there’s definitely a balance, but GP people seem pretty good about putting their plate in the trash. There aren’t weeks-old trash bags sitting around.

With this in mind, maybe there should be a sign that says “when the can’s full, take the bag out back!” or “put dishes directly in the washer!” That would give someone like me ownership and direction, as I have no clue if GP hires a janitor or where the dumpster is, but I am happy to do my part. Besides, who can complain when it’s free space and free pizza/soda?
