What is RevOps?

RevOps is the operational and functional consolidation of marketing, sales, and customer experience that directly supports the future of continuous customer engagement and new buyer experiences.

It helps align the resources, people, processes, and technologies that drive the conversion of prospects to customers and determine the success of a company’s revenue lifecycle.

By Forrester, companies that aligned people, processes, and technology across their sales and marketing teams achieved 36% more revenue growth and up to 28% more profitability.

Traditional revenue operations solutions capture the activities between buyers, sellers, customers, and customer success and solve the key business problems:

  • Disjointed processes and workflows
  • Siloed data
  • Duplicated workflows
  • Disconnected revenue insights.
