How that feels to marketers
Why this happens 
¡°The world we see 
that seems so insane 
is the result of a 
belief system that is 
not working.¡± 
William James
Marketing has an awesome 
belief system. 
It¡¯s called inbound marketing.
Sales does not have 
a prevailing belief system.
And Marketing¡¯s belief system 
does not work for Sales 
because Marketing & Sales 
are so different.
This is Marketing
This is 
Sales
The key to closing more leads? 
Clarify the Sales belief system.
