We already know about the more common Marketing Operations & Sales Operations, which serve as unique function that helps their corresponding teams to increase efficiency while achieving their goals. But lately, a new approach is emerging – Revenue Operations. 

What is it, and why is it so important? Let’s dive in.

What is Revenue Operations?

Revenue Operations, or RevOps, is a new framework for companies to look at their revenue sources end-to-end. In the more traditional approach, each department works individually to reach its goals & KPIs, implementing its own strategy. We call these “Silos”. 

According to HubSpot’s Flywheel model, business growth is no longer funnel-based, meaning all customer-facing departments that are responsible for driving revenue affect each other performance. By looking at the customer journey as a flywheel instead of multiple funnels, a need has arisen to align them under one umbrella.

Revenue Operations aims to do just that. By implementing the right way, RevOps helps to break the siloes, by aligning all revenue-related departments (Marketing, Sales, Customer Success). RevOps is focused on removing friction, helping the Flywheel to spin faster. determining the strategy to grow revenue and eliminate the silos between departments.

Benefits of Revenue Operations?

1. Tech Stack Alignment – A tech stack is the set of technology tools and platforms each team is using. By switching to the RevOps approach, chances are you will find duplicate tools that serve the same function for each team in the tech stack audit. By consolidating the tools for all the teams, you make sure the teams are using the same data and are aware of the other teams activities.
2. Reduce Costs – One of the main benefits of RevOps is that you can save money and reduce costs. As RevOps strategy is cross-department by definition it gets easier to consolidate similar functions and optimize the process by finding the pain points in the process
3. Enhanced Analytics – By aligning the technologies across all revenue teams, you can start making data-driven decisions that integrate insights from the marketing funnels, sales pipeline, and service efforts. By leveraging data analytics, businesses can make informed decisions, optimize strategies, identify growth opportunities, and enhance revenue generation.
4. Happier Customers – Sometimes different departments share a different message with the customer in the sales funnel: for example, the marketing team says one thing while the sales reps say something else. This might cause customers to be disappointed more easily. By aligning messages across teams the customer knows what to expect, and the chances they will be met are increasing. 

Driving Revenue – A well-implemented RevOps framework helps to increase ROI in more ways than one. communication between the different teams, and helps to share data that can help optimize. For example, the sales team can use some data from the customer success team to close more deals based on existing customers insights. Another example is that the customer success team can better understand the customer needs by gaining insights from the sales funnel.
