    Sales GravyMy guest for this week’s episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast is Jeb Blount, veteran sales training and creator of the Sales Gravy website, podcast and community. Sales Gravy is a tremendously rich resource for anyone in the sales profession or anyone looking to get into the sales profession. Jeb’s podcasts are fast moving and packed with useful info.

    We spent the bulk of this session exploring ways to get sales and marketing on the same page.

    It’s been my experience that large organizations simply need to do more to get marketing and sales talking to each other in a conversation that includes the customer.

    On the flip side, the job with the small business involves helping them better understand and prepare for the fact that sales and marketing are two different functions and treating them as such is essential to getting the most from each.

    • Very timely information. I just blogged about having a little more Zig than Seth during tough times. I believe most of us marketers, myself included think that we can seal the deal. But on the same token, sales believe that marketers do not live in the real world. The combination of both can be pretty powerful but seldom is recognized.

      An interesting item to me is that I see many good Sales people in small firms inherit the marketing hat or in charge of Sales and Marketing. But seldom the other way around. Does anyone have an idea why?
    • Hi John,
      I love the work you and Jeb are doing... keep it up!
