Episode notes

The goal of marketing is to make sales life easier, especially in like an enterprise type org or if you're trying to go after big accounts. The biggest challenges that I've been hearing marketers talk about is the inability to go after the right accounts. A lot of folks have lean marketing teams now. There's layoffs, unfortunately happening. And so how can we do essentially more with less? How can we target the right accounts with potentially maybe less spend or maybe even less efforts?

What are the biggest challenges marketers face, and how can they better align with sales to improve their outcomes?

Vin Matano, Senior Account Executive at Demandbase, chats with Daniel about all things sales. Find out his four-part cold e-mail strategy to increase pipeline, what he identifies as marketing’s biggest pain points, and the best tactics you can use today to approach sellers.

Plus, why does Vin think of sales as a copy-and-paste business? And what’s the one marketing hill he would die on?
