Sales vs Marketing. Who Controls Revenue.

Hey good morning team. Almost the end of the quarter and we are on pace to miss our quota. Why is revenue so far down? I mean we've sent over plenty of leads the past couple weeks. I don't know why they're not closing. Well maybe it's because those leads are as bad as that new haircut you got. Are you kidding? One of those was a Fortune 500 company. Yeah and it was their summer intern who is still hungover from bombing his algebra final. Solid lead champ. Oh yeah and what about the other 50 leads? No actually here's one now. Hold on. Hey this is Zack. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. Okay yeah. I apologize we had a new guy starting a marketing this week so. Yeah totally understand. Alright take care. Who was that? Yeah it was another one of those great leads from marketing. They had no idea how I got their number and asked for me to never call them back again. Oh boss here's a question. How close would we get to forecast if we just got rid of his salary? Oh my gosh come on. Alright both of you cut it out. You're acting like a bunch of middle schoolers with a crush on each other. Listen I need revenue and I need it fast. Go get it figure it out. Alright well I have another meeting. What's so funny? I am literally your salvation. What do you mean? Cause I'm gonna call that guy right back and I'm still gonna close him. You're welcome by the way.
