North Palm Beach, FL – December 5, 2019 – Marketing training and events company MarketingProfs and sales training company VantagePoint Performance announce a strategic alliance to help marketing and sales professionals work more collaboratively. The two companies are teaming up under Joe Terry, who will act as CEO of both organizations.
MarketingProfs founder and former CEO Allen Weiss will continue to serve in an advisory capacity as a member of the MarketingProfs Board of Directors.
The strategic alliance between the training companies brings to life a model for modern sales/marketing education.
A collaborative approach between Sales and Marketing delivers a more comprehensive, cohesive, and (ultimately) productive buyer experience, across every touch point. Through MarketingProfs and VantagePoint customer-centric training programs, this alliance will help businesses learn to more successfully navigate what has traditionally been a tricky collaboration.
“It’s not only a natural fit between MarketingProfs and VantagePoint, it’s a necessary fit,” said Joe Terry. “We know from research that the buyer’s experience is situational. Both Marketing and Sales must learn to be agile and aligned to win in today’s global markets. We plan to teach organizations how to do that. ”
“I started MarketingProfs to bring unbiased and actionable know-how to marketers,” said Allen Weiss, founder of MarketingProfs. “This alliance is the logical next step as we bridge the typical gap between Marketing and Sales.”
