From Attraction to Action: Where Marketing Ends and Sales Begins
July 29, 2025 | Brittany Martin, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Before a PO hits the system, marketing has already done a lot of heavy lifting. Without strategic marketing, the PO might never arrive. At I-Connect007, we have been fortunate to help many companies achieve sales success through marketing. The key to success? Understanding how marketing leads to sales.
Many people think marketing and sales are the same, but while they’re closely connected, they play distinct roles: marketing generates demand, and sales converts it. I-Connect007 helps bridge that gap by keeping our customers visible and relevant throughout the buyer’s journey. With targeted content, industry reach, and consistent engagement, we make sure your message reaches the right people, so when they’re ready to buy, your sales team is closing warm leads, not starting from scratch.
Using a battlefield analogy (because surviving and thriving in today’s market feels like a battle), marketing leads the charge in the sales cycle. It pushes a company’s story and solutions into the market, builds awareness, and cuts through the noise to reach the strongest prospects. Done right, marketing creates a runway for sales to take off.
Brand awareness takes root through targeted content, industry reach, and consistent engagement that builds visibility and trust over time. Whether it’s educational articles, thought leadership, or social campaigns, this marketing does more than inform; it positions your company as a credible, go-to solution. When sales enters the conversation, prospects are already familiar with your brand, people, and value. That familiarity lowers barriers, shortens the sales cycle, and increases the likelihood of conversion.

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered. A campaign might start with a highly technical resource, such as an in-depth article, a white paper, or a podcast featuring an engineer delving into the details of a process. That’s the foundation, the substance that earns credibility.
