When marketing and business don't meet...

One of the most common obstacles to growth is having a marketing strategy that is not in line with the business.

How this typically shows up is an internal misalignment in crucial business elements: positioning, ideal customers, target audiences, focus, and goals. 🖖

When marketing and business think about these elements differently, growth grinds.

Why audit your B2B marketing strategy?

For marketing to influence business, it must understand business. The first step is to align the marketing strategy with the business goals.

If you think that marketing and business don’t see eye to eye in one or more of the following areas, it is time to audit your marketing strategy:

  • Goals – unclear, contradictory, or disconnected from each other
  • Positioning – missing or understood in different ways
  • Ideal customers – not defined or understood in different ways
  • Target audience – is either too broad or too narrow
  • Focus – missing or unclear (can be related to marketing priorities, company story, main messages, etc.)

Auditing the above aspects of your marketing strategy will help you to update your strategy to align with the business and move the needle in key metrics.
