EP 99: Integrating Sales and Marketing Strategies with Showpad's Russell Wurth In Episode 99 of the Lion’s Share Marketing Podcast, Tyler and Jon discuss the removal of Facebook’s 20% text limits on ad images. They explain that the more text that’s displayed on an ad, the fewer people Facebook will show it to. Tyler and Jon discuss how with fewer rules in place, ad creators have more opportunities to be creative. Then, Tyler and Jon go on to discuss the launch of LinkedIn Stories, which creates a significant opportunity for savvy B2B marketers, recruiters, and job seekers. Then Tyler introduces Russell Wurth, Vice President of Sales Enablement at ShowPad. Russell goes on to explain ShowPad’s services and his role at the company. He uses his knowledge and experience to advise about sales enablement technologies. He also explains the differences in the mindsets and priorities of sales and marketing teams and the importance of cross-team communication.  Russell wraps up by suggesting that one should not hesitate to broaden their perspective. Marketing leaders should be prepared to share a hypothesis with sales leaders and collaborate on the results in order to improve the output from both teams.  Join Tyler, Jon, and Russell to gain better insight into the role of sales enablement and communicating better with marketing members.  ***Want to Win a Winners Keep Score T-Shirt?
