What sales actually needs from marketing

What should marketing give sales beyond leads?

Short answer

Speed and specificity: a way to assemble a credible, on-message meeting faster than building one from scratch, plus proof that survives being forwarded to someone who never met you.

The ten-minute rule

Outline: if assembly takes longer than ten minutes, sellers build their own.

Forwardable proof

Outline: designing assets for the person who was not in the meeting.

What are you trying to move?

A reputation, a pipeline, a market position, a launch. Pick a way in.
