Emilio Garcia warns that when marketing and sales operate on separate technology stacks and processes, organizations lose visibility into what happens to Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) after they transition to sales. This lack of shared CRM data or feedback loops prevents marketers from understanding the true impact of their leads, hampers the ability to refine MQL definitions, and ultimately misaligns marketing efforts with business outcomes. He emphasizes the necessity of a feedback mechanism from sales to marketing to continuously adjust MQL criteria and ensure alignment with overall business goals.

If you are working in an organization where the work of marketing happens in a technology set and processes that are completely separated from the ones that sales use, then you run the risk of not seeing what happens to your MQLs after they move into sales, right? So that situation happens because the CRM is not shared by the organizations or Even if you say, well, we don't want to share that information, there got to be a feedback loop from sales to marketing so they can keep adjusting their definition of MQLs and their true impact. Because again, if you are not asking what happened to my MQLs at the end of the day, then you are not aligning yourself with the business outcomes.
