Making a leap in RevOps

Gokul Anantha
Of all RevOps definitions, the one we like most is from Gartner -in a 2020 report titled –“Use Revenue Operations to Drive Efficient, Predictable Revenue”
“(RevOps is) the function that designs, manages, and tracks non-product experiences across the entire lifecycle”
Why is this meaningful?
This definition inherently embraces a position viz. pre and post use experiences across organizational touch-points ; that is complimentary to engineering / product focus – optimizing end-use experience ). This is so critical to enterprise success today.
It also enhances & scales the scope (of RevOps) – beyond structural alignment of marketing, sales and customer success operations.
How can revOps leaders operationalize this?
Knowing your customer, is key — for scaling revOps as well as delivering strategic value.
Here are 3 priorities for leaders to consider:
- Establish metrics to track non-product experiences — at account level , contact level or consumer level. A starting point — timeliness & relevance from an experience event — either marketing ( field / ABM tactics) led , sales led , customer success led, or customer support led.
- Capture and manage these experiences as strategic assets
- Tie experiences to revenue lifecycle metrics — conversion/ adoption,
cross-sell, up-sell
