How SMARKETING with Video Supercharges Your Sales Process (Ep. 10)

Are your sales and marketing teams still siloed?

If so, you don’t want to miss this episode of Video Marketing Mastery. In it, I interview HubSpot’s Director of Sales, Dan Tyre, and we talk about how the buying process has changed and why savvy businesses are aligning their sales and marketing teams.

Dan calls it “SMARKETING” and it’s all about making your sales and marketing teams more efficient and streamlined, so you can grow your business more quickly.

You’ll also learn how video fits into the SMARKETING process and can give your sales and marketing team unique insights into what each of the leads in your CRM really care about, so your sales team can follow up with “the right message at the right time, without being pushy.”
