RevOps Training: Aligning Teams for Success

What Is RevOps?

RevOps is the collaboration of marketing, sales, customer support, and product teams operations across the full customer life cycle to drive growth and keep all teams accountable to revenue.

Instead of solely supporting the education and optimization of the new business−centric Sales Enablement team, brands must foster growth and success of both:

• Sales Enablement Teams: Including all the scripts, processes, tools, etc., that Marketing & Sales teams need to acquire new customers, and
• Revenue Enablement Teams: Similarly, all the processes, tools, etc., that are needed, in this case by Customer Success, Solutions Architects, etc., to retain and grow

In short, RevOps includes bringing together all customer-facing teams that collectively find, retain, and grow customers and developing repeatable and predictable processes, skills, and knowledge to organize around the customer and increase revenue. Cohesive tools, technology, and training are key to creating this alignment of diverse teams many of whom are not in traditional sales roles.

Tools & Training

Marketing & Sales have deep awareness and expertise with the Demand & Buying Journey, but the key to Revenue Enablement is optimizing the entire Customer Journey. That means Client Services and Product teams need to know how to interact with customers in a way that engages them and drives them to deepen their investment over time.

For this to work, RevOps leaders need to educate their teams, bring together teams that aren’t normally responsible for selling with those who are, and implement proper tools and technology to assist with cross-team collaboration, forecasting, monitoring performance, and analyzing revenue results.

Everyone on the RevOps team should be comfortable with the basics of consultative selling and should understand how their role fits within that customer journey and can help influence its trajectory. Richardson Sales Performance’s materials include a range of useful training curriculum and tools to help achieve these ends, such as:

Older, acquisition-first methodologies aren’t sufficient to sustain brands in this new landscape.
