Privacy Pros: Why Collaborate with Sales and Marketing and How to Do It Well
Everyone knows the privacy team and sales and marketing teams are natural opponents. For sales and marketing, the more you know about your prospects, the better. For privacy, the less data you need to handle, the better. Conflict between the two is inevitable, and we all just need to live with it. Right?
In reality, this picture isn't accurate. Privacy, sales and marketing are natural allies — not opponents. They have more to gain by working together than they do by working against one another. In fact, this collaboration is key to a better privacy program, better prospect insights and a better business overall.
Nobody can do it all on their own — and that goes double for data privacy. By learning how to work across teams and departments, you will strengthen your privacy program and win the support of your colleagues to boot.
What you'll learn:
How building relationships with sales and marketing can help privacy professionals overcome resource blocks and achieve a stronger compliance posture.
How privacy, sales and marketing professionals can turn customer trust into a revenue driver that shortens sales cycles.
What approach privacy professionals should take when seeking out allies in sales and marketing.
