In this YouTube short, Phil Risher shares an email he received from a client’s top salesperson praising the partnership after the client achieved a $200,000 year‑over‑year revenue increase. Phil uses the story to illustrate how aligning sales and marketing—ensuring inbound leads are promptly worked by sales—creates synergy, growth, and higher commissions for the sales team. He highlights the contrast with typical friction between sales and marketing, emphasizes the tangible financial impact, and notes the personal benefit of the salesperson’s increased commission during a slow season.

Yesterday, I got one of the most interesting emails from one of our clients. It was from their top salesperson, and he was emailing saying how amazing it's been working with us because they're up $200,000 year over year. And he was saying, Flash, I don't know what y'all are doing, what you're cooking over there, but please keep it up because you're crushing it for us. Every place that I've ever worked before, most marketing companies and sales companies clash over and over again because they're on polar opposite sides. When I started this company, I wanted to make sure that sales and marketing were in alignment. So that way the leads that were coming in were getting worked by the salespeople and actually closing revenue. This is what happens when you have teams that work together inside of your business. You get growth and you get great synergy. We probably pay for this guy's summer vacation because it's shoulder season. He usually is doing $0. He's like, oh my gosh, I'm making all this commission. Thank you so much.
