Similarly, marketing and sales shouldn’t be separated by an iron curtain — they should be linked with constant two-way communication. That need for collaboration is borne out in the results reported in the State of Inbound 2015 report published by JONES partner HubSpot.

The report showed that companies who involved their marketing department in making decisions about sales software were 33 percent more likely to experience a greater ROI the next year than those who didn’t seek out marketing department input.
