    • Upselling/Cross-Selling to Existing Customers: One in four sales leaders identified this as their main goal for 2023. Selling to existing customers has lower acquisition costs, and happy customers can drive significant business growth when they become brand promoters.

CRMs also help reps stay organized, build relationships with prospects, and identify areas to improve their process. The challenge is making sure that the team is utlising the CRM fully which requires consistent education and reminders as well as support from Sales Ops where possible.
    • Improving Sales and Marketing Alignment: To succeed in sales, teams need to work together to identify and target prospects, create content, develop messaging and track performance.

Sales teams need to build trust in tandem with Marketing functions and find new and innovative ways executives and decision-makers in a crowded online space.
