Study Results Back Up Marketing on 6th, NYC’s Decision to Offer Merged Sales and Marketing Services
(PRWEB) April 07, 2014 -- A recent study from Texas Tech University’s Arnett & Wittman highlights what Marketing on 6th, NYC already know – that marketing and sales work best when each informs and influences the other, rather than functioning as separate elements. The article, titled “Improving Marketing Success: The role of tacit knowledge exchange between sales and marketing”, published in 2014, points out the fact that sales representatives are privy to a huge amount of information about customers and clients, which they use to their professional advantage. The issue the article highlights is that in a traditional organizational structure, sales teams rarely share this information with the marketing departments. This means that marketing teams are missing out on valuable information about the customer base, which could allow them to develop more innovative marketing tactics that are more in tune with customers’ needs. The article advises better communication between marketing and sales departments to enable the transfer of high quality information. This can be achieved, according to Arnett & Wittman, by developing trust building across all areas of an organization, increasing interaction between the marketing and sales departments through the development of inter-departmental projects, and through the involvement of upper management to encourage interaction between the two departments.
