In our State of Revenue Marketing 2022 report, we found that:

  • Only half of the participating companies reached their revenue goals
  • Only 38.9% of the participating companies have dedicated revenue marketing roles
  • 47.5% of the companies said they have below-average practices when it comes to sales and marketing alignment

But if revenue generation is critical for the survival and health of a company, why are we seeing the above statistics? That’s what we’re addressing in this episode of Let’s Talk Revenue Marketing.

Our host Eve Chen is joined by Bernadette McClelland, an expert coach who specializes in personalized and effective messaging, to discuss building a revenue engine.

Key talking points:

  • Revenue generation responsibilities
  • Key performance activities
  • The misalignment challenge
  • How marketing can help lead generation
  • Telling stories using mental models
