Marketing Lessons For 2022: Never Stop Dating Your Spouse
Marketing in 2021 was a rollercoaster ride
From the Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) brought forth by the Apple iOS 15 update to Google's looming ban on third-party cookies, marketers have had to scramble to find new ways to gather data that helps them attract new customers.

Designing A Winning Sales Commission Structure In 2022
Just as athletes are motivated to reach peak performance, so are sales teams
Research shows that it takes new sellers an average of three months before they are ready to interact with buyers, nine months to reach full competency to perform, and a full 15 months for them to become a top performer.
But it isn't just time to get settled, familiar, and adjusted that can be attributed to reaching this level of success. There are plenty of other factors that can impact sales performance too, such as motivation and strategy from leadership. When a sales team is struggling to hit goals and training, enablement, and other avenues have already been thought through, it may be time to look at your sales commission structure.

Sales leaders face serious challenges in attracting and retaining diverse sales talen
Future Forum research, in a survey of thousands of workers and managers globally, shows a divide in work satisfaction and flexibility between executives and employees, especially those in non-white, male demographics.

Both departments have the same goal of driving sales and revenue from new and existing customers, so constant collaboration and keeping in sync should be a daily occurrence. Isn't it time that sales and marketing teams find their common ground for a higher purpose?
