FAQs

Revenue Operations (RevOps) is a strategic approach that aligns & synchronizes sales, marketing, & customer success departments within an organization to drive revenue growth. By fostering collaboration & cross-functional communication which includes FInance & Product, RevOps establishes a cohesive framework to maximize efficiency, leverage data-driven insights, & enhance customer lifetime value. This holistic method, aided by technological advancements, facilitates the optimization of processes across the organization & accelerates sustainable business development.

It exists under 4 primary pillars of GTM Systems, GTM Processes, Enablement, & Insights/Analytics.

RevOps is one of the most important parts of a business these days. It helps to ensure the GTM and Operational teams work together to drive profitability & delight customers. RevOps uses data & technology to do this in the best way possible. It’s especially important given the current uncertain economic climate where resources are limited. RevOps ultimately helps businesses be more successful in the long run.

When it’s neglected or run ineffectively, the results are devastating. The average company loses 14.9% of its revenue to preventable leaks across the revenue process.¹

But for companies who approach revenue as an end-to-end process, instead of just a number reported at the end of the quarter, the results are profound²:

• 24% increase in win rates
• 39% increase in revenue capture for committed deals
• 96% forecast accuracy on average
• Up to 30% more ARR³

There are many signs that would point to the need for a centralized RevOps Function. 

• Inability to trust your data or have it when you need it
• Lack of interoperability between your GTM Systems
• Lackluster enablement and onboarding
• Struggles getting your different business units to work together

There are a few pitfalls that many have fallen into when standing up RevOps.

Firstly, it’s critical to understand that RevOps is not merely a rebranding of Sales Operations or Marketing Operations. Instead, it demands a cohesive team with a shared vision, ensuring all functions from sales to marketing to customer success are working in unison towards common goals.

Secondly, it’s vital to resist the urge to tackle everything simultaneously. Instead, take stock of what needs to be achieved and prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact. Attention should be given to activities that address immediate requirements, but it’s equally important to consider the long-term implications on the organization’s future needs.

Lastly, it’s essential to establish realistic and suitable expectations with your executive team. Clear communication about the scope, potential challenges, and expected outcomes of the RevOps initiative can help manage expectations, ensure alignment, and foster support from leadership.

By avoiding these pitfalls, you can increase the likelihood of a successful RevOps implementation that drives your organization’s growth and profitability.

When you start using RevOps in your business, it’s important to make sure that the sales, marketing, & customer success teams work together well. You should also make sure everyone knows what they’re supposed to be doing & what’s most important. This helps make sure everything goes smoothly & everyone knows what “good” looks like. Having a plan like this is really important to making sure RevOps works well.
