Lean Sales and Marketing Blogshop 7 of 7: Applying Lean to Sales and Marketing
The popularity of Lean has seen it blossom into many fields. We now see it labeled as Lean Healthcare, Lean Services, Lean Product Development, Lean Construction and the list goes on. So there is not much new on this blog when I attach Lean to Sales and Marketing or what might be an easier stretch Lean Marketing. Most people in sales and marketing already have seen it coming. Lean manufacturing has worked well, and it has been successful in services and design, but in sales and marketing?
