The digital acceleration that we have had in the past few years has shown us how the market had to act in a simplified and quick way, minimizing expenses and making its work flows more agile. According to predictions from Gartner Marketing Predictions for 2021 and Beyond’s report, in 2023, 25% of all organizations will gather Marketing, Sales and Customer Experience in one single occupation. A merge that brings a lot of benefits and shows how the request for multifunctional work has increased more and more.
It did not start today the expectancy of this merge. A big part of the market already understands the importance of synergy between marketing and sales strategies, two core areas for any businesses’ development - after all, they work together so their goal is reached and overcomed. But what comes to transform and aggregate even more value to this merge, is the need to think more and more in the customer experience.
This union between Marketing, Sales and Customer Experience was already expected, but the truth is that the recent digital acceleration that we went through in 2020, brought this reality to here and now, intensifying the need to work adopting multiple roles. According to Gartner, this change brings many benefits, since its goal is to reduce duplicated efforts, standardize and centralize these three operations.
According to the report, nearly 90% of the marketing leaders agree that their role is under pressure to become more adaptable. Even though 76% of these leaders say they can not maximize completely the impact of their initiatives at the same time that they are looking for efficiency. That is why, to make the merge process of these two operations easier, Gartner points out 3 attitudes that marketing professionals must have:
