The business function known as Revenue Operations (RevOps) aims to keep all teams focused on revenue while coordinating sales, marketing, and customer success activities.

What is RevOps?

Revenue operations are defined as a business-to-business functionality that focuses on optimizing the whole customer lifecycle process. By aligning an organization’s processes, workflows, data, strategy, and technology, companies are better able to maximize their revenue potential. Today, revenue leaders help organizations revamp operations across internal teams, improve customer acquisition processes, boost go-to-market collaboration, and support the entire customer journey from start to finish. Not only does this provide management with a bird’s eye view of the company’s operations, but it also helps to streamline revenue processes and support rapid growth.

Why is RevOps important?

By having clear organizational alignment across your marketing, sales, and customer success teams, your company is better able to drive full-funnel accountability to support revenue growth while also creating a delightful experience for your customer journey.

In addition, RevOps can help increase profitability by reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and boosting productivity. It provides visibility into key performance indicators which provide greater insight to a management team.
