Challenges in Aligning Goals Across Teams
Companies often struggle when their marketing, sales, and customer success teams work in silos, lacking a unified revenue leader. When each team has different targets and incentives, they tend to operate independently rather than collaboratively, resulting in conflicting strategies. This misalignment leads to confusion when measuring success or converting leads into revenue, as different departments may provide varied interpretations of data. As a result, the CEO risks becoming a de facto Chief Revenue Officer, trying to mediate between teams instead of focusing on broader business strategies.
