Revenue operations, or RevOps, is the process by which companies align all the operational functions supporting their sales, marketing, and customer service organizations. At the core of this process is data: In order to operate effectively, organizations need centralized visibility into how prospects and customers engage with them throughout the entire revenue cycle, from marketing channels to sales touchpoints.
A comprehensive RevOps approach accounts for demand generation, tech stack alignment (including the integration of MarTech and CRM technologies), and revenue analytics. If businesses can combine these elements, they’re well-equipped to optimize their end-to-end revenue generation process. However, many struggle to do so given the multitude of disciplines at hand.
RevOps — from initial implementation to ongoing iteration — requires in-house technical skills, strategic and analytical skills, and change management skills, among others. For many, if not most organizations, supporting internal operational leaders with an outsourced RevOps team makes more sense than attempting to insource all the functions required for operational success. The following article highlights how this outsourced approach — RevOps as a Service — can be effectively applied.
Unifying marketing, sales, and services functions has quickly evolved from progressive strategy to table stakes. RevOps as a Service is a partnership with certified RevOps experts who establish, own and optimize the customer-centric activities of a company. This strategic partnership ensures all operations are focused on generating revenue — without impeding in-house teams from individual and organization-wide productivity and goal attainment.
The answer is simple. No matter their growth stage, teams looking to up level their operations through strategic implementation, tech-stack consolidation, strategic integrations, and attribution reporting across a complex business ecosystem should consider augmenting the process with RevOps as a Service.
However, for companies aiming to reach, maintain, and exceed enterprise-level growth, RevOps as a Service is an absolute necessity.
Enterprise systems in particular stand to gain significant competitive advantage through streamlining their operations — from reduced overhead resources to consolidated tech stacks to improved overall agility — so entrusting a strategic and technically-advanced expert for high-stakes implementation is a highly strategic decision for the business.
