Dissociated Strategy. Lost Revenue.

Unhappy (Boss/CEO/Board Member). I’ll let you fill in the blank. Or maybe it’s you, the Founder? If so, it’s even more painful.

We’ve all been there. The excitement of launching a new campaign. The allure of the state-of-the-art visuals. The promise of sky-high engagement. But then the results come in…and they’re less than stellar. Our marketing budget vanishes into the ether, and the ROI is simply not there.

Imagine a machine where you keep pouring fuel, but it only powers a fraction of the engine. Would you call it efficient? Similarly, when marketing isn’t tied to revenue, you’re essentially feeding a machine that’s working at a fraction of its potential.

In a survey of 500 B2B companies, a staggering 65% admitted to not having a clear alignment between their marketing spending and revenue outcomes. And the consequences? Precious marketing budget is wasted on campaigns that don’t bring any tangible returns. In fact, B2B statistics show 60%-70% of all created marketing content remains unused.

The High Cost of Misalignment

Let’s journey into a fictional company that might sound all too familiar, TechGenius Inc., who just launched a campaign that seemed promising. They poured half of their budget into a fantastic video advertisement and the rest into premium display placements across the web. Weeks later, they found that while they got ‘views’ and ‘clicks’, sales barely moved. The needle remained stagnant.

The ripple effect? Sales teams struggled to meet quotas, and client success teams were under-resourced, leading to unhappy clients and a revenue stream that dwindled. And to make matters worse, TechGenius Inc. had no idea which segment of their campaign, if any, led to the few conversions they did achieve.

For every dollar wasted, opportunities were lost:

• • Missed Product Improvements: Investment that could have gone into refining products based on user feedback.
  • Lost Talent: Budget that could have been used to hire the best talent.
  • Eroded Trust: When results aren’t delivered, trust erodes between teams and with key stakeholders.

Would you want this for your company?
