Our guests this week are Laurel Truax and Jason Manke from Slabtown Marketing. This Michigan marketing firm has been successful approaching marketing from a sales perspective and sales from a marketing perspective. There's always a lot of talk about sales and marketing alignment, but not a lot of action. Laurel and Jason are here today to convince you that sales and marketing synergy can lead to more innovation, less friction and ultimately increased revenue.
