B2B Sales & Marketing Exchange

6 Pillars Of An Ideal Revenue Team

The overarching theme of the first-ever B2B Sales & Marketing Exchange is “Better Together.” We’re constantly pounded with E-bookswebinars and blog posts that drill in the message that B2B needs marketing and sales alignment to work. But for that to become a reality, we need actionable ways to get the entire revenue team on the same page and working together. 

Ahead of #B2BSMX, we caught up with Allison Snow, Senior Analyst at Forresterto hear about what constitutes an ideal revenue team in her eyes, as well as get a sneak peek into her upcoming session at the event.

Snow: My goal is to help revenue pros see artificial intelligence as a pragmatic way to get to know their customers better, rather than a full-on leap to automation. 

DGR: What else are you looking forward to at the event?  

Snow: People, people and people. And a few sessions, of course. 

Allison will be presenting a session in the Demand Gen Summit track titled “Maximum Visibility: Use Artificial Intelligence To Build Experiences That Persuade​.” Check out the session on Tuesday, August 13 at 3:20 PM.
