In this episode of The No Bullsh!t Marketing Show, Dave Mastovich breaks down one of the biggest growth opportunities for small and mid-sized businesses: separating—but strategically aligning—marketing and sales. Too often, companies treat them as one function, leading to confusion, complexity for buyers, and stalled revenue growth.
Dave challenges the outdated notion of a “VP of Sales and Marketing” and lays out a clear, actionable framework for aligning these two critical disciplines. From defining your six right-fit target markets to using voice of the customer research to inform strategy, this episode is packed with practical steps to transform your sales and marketing results.

- What misalignment looks like (and how to fix it)
- The six right-fit target markets every business should define
