User experience (UX) design is the process of building relationships between products and prospects or customers through a digital or physical experience that involves engineering, marketing, graphical, industrial and interface designs. UEGroup CEO Tony Fernandes in an interview with CMSWire called UX design an “interactive brand experience that takes the place of establishing credibility and connection in the way that logos and taglines did in the past.”

The relationship between the sales and marketing departments naturally varies from organization to organization. But at its core, the relationship is meant to be a new-business-creating one-two punch. Marketing builds up relationships with a wide base of potential clients, while sales converts those relationships into paying customers. This is clearly a massive oversimplification of the buyer’s journey, but it at least illustrates one important fact: These two departments need to work in concert if they have any hope of creating a sustainable customer pipeline. Good content can go a long way toward making that a reality.
