Organizations Need New Roles, Skills, And Structures For Need-To-Revenue Marketing Success

Savvy marketing leaders are leveraging need-to-revenue marketing (N2RM) to engineer a pivot from being suppliers of leads for the load-bearing sales force to becoming engineers of customer engagement across the lifecycle. But, in practice, N2RM exposes siloed marketing, introduces process rigor that frustrates creative marketing minds, taxes marketing bandwidth, exposes skills gaps, and challenges the traditional dynamic between sales and marketing and product management. This report helps N2RM leaders ameliorate common stress points by using shared services and centers of excellence (COEs) to determine where and how the actual work gets done plus a cross-functional governing team to ensure N2RM success.
