For example, for marketing, set goals about the quantity and quality of leads they need to bring in. For sales, determine how many of those leads should be followed up and converted into customers within a certain amount of time. This way, you create a sense of shared responsibility and motivate your teams to work together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-350bdce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"350bdce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote><p>Tip: Also align goals and rewards.
