The Current State of Disconnection
We know it's hard when sales and marketing teams can't work well together. Most companies use lots of different apps just to talk to customers.
If this sounds like your company, you're like many others who find it tough to grow because their tools don't work together.
This causes big problems. Sales people spend almost half their time doing paperwork instead of selling. This means they lose many sales.
Marketing teams also have trouble. They can't connect their data to their tools. Bad data makes it hard to make things better.
When teams work apart and use different tools, they can't give customers what they want. This makes it hard to grow and keep customers happy.

Data-Driven Decision Making
Making smart choices with data helps your business grow and keeps customers happy. Instead of just guessing what works, look at real numbers to make better plans.
