Sales and marketing should, in theory, be perfectly aligned. Their core objective is the same – increasing revenue – and their activities overlap in many ways. Yet in reality they take different approaches to it, use different languages, and measure success in different ways. The result is that there is often a significant misalignment of these two functions.
Manufacturing is undergoing a transformation that some refer to as fourth industrial revolution (or 4IR). Manufacturers say 4IR is about gaining insights to help improve productivity, deliver greater value to customers and remain competitive.
In an increasingly competitive world, manufacturing companies are continually looking for ways to get ahead and remain profitable. And a growing number are turning to technology in the search for greater revenue through more effective sales and marketing, cost reduction through greater operational efficiency, and improved collaboration throughout the business.

SpotlerUK was launched – initially as Communigator – in 2005 with the aim of improving marketing automation. Powered by AI, SpotlerUK is a leading marketing automation and lead generation software provider.
Spotler offers an all-in-one inbound and outbound platform that includes email, social media, IP lookup, web forms, landing pages, popups and more. The platform enables marketing and sales teams to run complete marketing campaigns, convert more traffic and generate more leads.

Building a business case is an essential step in any CRM procurement project, but it is all too often rushed, glossed over, or ignored altogether.
Typically CRM advocates within a business are keen to rush to the next stage of understanding the business’ requirements. They assess vendors, put together a shortlist, meet them all, compare and contrast features and benefits, make their recommendations to the Board, and are then disappointed when the business decides not to make the investment.
The reasons for their enthusiasm are understandable. They are advocates and as such they are already convinced of the need for a CRM system. Perhaps they have seen one in action in a previous role or have heard of the benefits in a media article or from someone they met at a conference. They just want to get on, select the best provider, and start making the company operate better.
