Avaya’s top management wants to improve demand generation. This requires an improvement in the relationship between sales and marketing. This case series (Avaya (A) – (D)) the student goes into each phase of this process. The (A) case begins with background information about the company, and ask the students to come up with a strategy to improve work together the way in which sales and marketing. In the (B) case, we see their strategy in the form of a “single funnel” and demand generation framework. The single funnel communicates the idea that not only should the marketing funnel and sales funnel will be “vertically” linked – in the sense that the marketing leads should flow seamlessly into Sales’ funnel – but they should also be integrated horizontally.

That is, they argue that the two functions best by encouraging them to work at the same time, not only sequentially integrated. The demand generation framework, on the other hand makes explicit what is working for them means together. For example, imagine that conference they should be included in the weekly sales marketing. The students will then be asked about it, to think how to implement these ideas. In the (C) case, the implementation plan for a specific market – Brazil – described. In particular, we are data that showed in the roll-out process, the market manager, as they were compared with other markets on a number of dimensions used given. Finally shows the (D) case, suggesting some early data suggest that this new method of cooperation has a significant impact.
