How AI Aligned Marketing and Sales in Seven Months

If you have ever felt like your marketing and sales teams are speaking two different languages, or that your best customer stories are locked away in someone's inbox instead of helping close deals, this episode is for you. I sat down with Jennifer Lazarz, Director of Marketing at Medical Informatics Corp, the company behind the SickBay Clinical Platform. In just seven months, Jennifer's team went from siloed content and frustrated salespeople to a three pronged AI infrastructure that has fundamentally changed how marketing and sales work together. We get into the details of how she trained her team on generative AI tools, how she built consolidated document libraries in NotebookLM so salespeople stop chasing down information, and how she put FDA compliance guardrails in place so that everything the AI generates stays within the lines. If you are trying to figure out how to get your sales team to actually use AI tools, or how to break down the walls between departments that are supposed to be rowing in the same direction, you are going to get a lot out of this one.
