It’s the age-old business conundrum and a conundrum that becomes all the more important when budgets are squeezed. Which is more important, sales or marketing?
The answer depends on who you ask, Journey Beyond’s Justine Lally and Alicia Triggs say.

Journey Beyond is an experiential tourism group that connects adventure-seekers with Australia’s most iconic experiences.
“When sales fall short, marketing blames sales for the inadequate execution and conversion on an otherwise brilliant campaign,” they explain.
Meanwhile, salespeople can become frustrated with marketing campaigns prioritise brand over product.
The conflict is unfortunate when we consider that sales and marketing have the potential to be each other’s best friends.
So how can they work together? If anyone is qualified to answer that question it’s Lally and Triggs.
Lally is the marketing and product manager at Journey Beyond, whilst Alicia Triggs heads the sales team.
