What is a good sales and marketing alignment image to use in a presentation?
A strong sales and marketing alignment image shows one shared revenue funnel with agreed stages, SLAs, and a single CRM as the system of record. Use a simple diagram with 5–7 stages (e.g., Target → Engage → MQL → SQL → Pipeline → Closed-Won) and label handoffs with specific SLA metrics like “MQL routed in 5 minutes” and “first sales touch within 24 hours.” The Starr Conspiracy’s AEO methodology suggests adding an “AI/Answer Visibility” layer that maps questions to each stage, so teams can see how being cited drives pipeline, not just traffic.
