Probably 9 out of 10 high-ACV companies are sales-driven, where marketing plays just a supportive role. Is that a problem?
No, it’s an opportunity for you if you’re able to think about growth holistically and integrate marketing, sales and customer success. So that everyone is rowing in the same direction.
The stages of evolution described in this short viddy don’t have to be following one another. You can totally start with account-based marketing and build an integrated growth department when making your first marketing hire.

– launching joint campaigns and programs
– sharing data and qualitative experience regularly
