What is Smarketing?
Why Sales and Marketing Alignment is More Important than Ever
Smarketing is a word used to combine both Sales and Marketing. At its basis, it means getting both your sales and marketing teams aligned around one cohesive strategy, process, and set of goals. This is key to ensuring that your contacts have a seamless journey from the first time they interact with your organization to the time they become a customer. Having a strategy in place will keep your teams on the same page and working as efficiently and effectively as possible towards the goal of maximizing revenue.
In a CRM or sales/marketing software, there are technical tools that can be implemented to enable smarketing for your organization. HubSpot specifically has many tools designed to help ensure sales and marketing teams share goals, information, and reporting for a successful smarketing strategy.
