It seems that for decades, experts have been telling us to tear down the wall between sales and marketing. “Okay! We say yes! Love it! Let’s do that.” But how? While the general concept of having a united messaging force makes a ton of sense, the precise method of how to align sales and marketing teams is underdeveloped. In a survey from JointheDots and LinkedIn, a majority of the 7,000 respondents—largely salespeople and marketers—said that misalignment between the two departments

If you're a frequent online shopper like I am, you're likely already well-acquainted with order confirmation emails. At its most basic, an order confirmation email needs to signal to the customer that their order has been processed -- without receiving one, a customer might believe their transaction hasn't gone through properly. But an order confirmation email can do more than just act as a digital receipt.

What is it about your business that appeals to customers? You might think it’s the high-quality products you make. Another good guess would be the stellar services you provide. In reality, it’s something else altogether: the unforgettable experiences you deliver. Of course, measuring the effectiveness of your experiences can be difficult—especially when you’re collaborating with several internal teams, leveraging multiple tools, and engaging with prospects and customers across numerous channels.

As marketers, we love to use fancy words to describe the things we do (and we also like to change ‘em up a lot). Content isn’t long-lasting, it’s evergreen. You don’t need a marketing funnel, you need a flywheel. And don’t even get us started on growth hacking. But as buzzwords come and go, you’re likely to come across an outdated or unusual phrase like “squeeze pages” for the first time and wonder—hey, what the heck does that even mean?

Everyone thinks SEO is a long-term game… that you have to wait months if not years to see results. And, maybe that was the case a few years ago when content was still king. With Google making 3200 algorithm changes in just one year , their goal isn’t to make a website wait a year or two before they are able to achieve a top spot. Instead, they want to show the user the right site as quick as possible.
