  When the economy tightens, most businesses react by cutting—cutting budgets, cutting headcount, and cutting risk. But the smartest companies do the opposite in one critical area: they align. In challenging times, sales and marketing alignment isn't a luxury - it's a lifeline. These two functions, too often siloed, must operate as one fluid force, sharing data, strategy, and feedback in real time. Why? Because markets shift fast, and disconnected teams move slow. Marketing brings the voice of the market. Sales brings the voice of the customer. Together, they form a feedback loop agile enough to pivot messaging, reposition offers, and uncover demand before competitors even realize the shift. The companies that win in downturns aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets - they're the ones with the tightest collaboration. Alignment fuels speed. Speed fuels survival. This isn’t about kumbaya. It’s about strategic survival through collaboration. Because when every move counts, every department must move together. -- About Seth Avergon Seth Avergon is a strategic marketing consultant and founder of Avergon Marketing Group.
