WWWR Ep 21: Companies View Marketing And Sales As Separate Departments
This show aired LIVE on February 9, 2022. To watch the show on demand, visit the show on its new page, Square 2+.
In this episode of What’s Wrong With Revenue? we hosted our first guest, Joel Capperella, the VP of Revenue Marketing at software company Workiva.Joel, Eric and I had a lively conversation about how to bring marketing and sales departments together into a single revenue team.

Joel’s previous experience as a consultant was critical for experience sharing. He talked specifically about getting the voice of the customer and scoring some quick wins for the organization before he could move on with a few of his own ideas.
The show covered a wide range of topics including tactic selection, technology and how to drive conversions from MQLs into opportunities for the sales team.
We spent a decent amount of time discussing the demo. The demo offer is one software companies love to lean into. We brainstormed some innovative ideas around doing demos including the pre-recorded demo, the regularly scheduled live group demo and, of course, the one-on-one demo most software companies rely on for their best sales opportunities.
