Your sales team just closed a major deal, but your support team has no idea about the client’s negotiations or requirements. Or worse – your sales team is pursuing an opportunity, unaware that the prospect has three unresolved support tickets. Sound familiar? Let’s explore how leading teams are bridging this gap.
The Sales-Support Divide
When sales and support operate in silos:
- Sales teams miss critical support insights
- Support lacks deal context
- Upsell opportunities go unnoticed
- Customer experience suffers
- Pipeline management becomes fragmented
