“We don’t have enough at bats!” ⚾

“Sales never follows up on the leads we give them!” 😢

Tension between marketing and sales is (and probably always will be) a given. Is it #RevOps’s job to fix it?

According to Niel Hildebrand III NO. ❌ Not really.

It’s our job to step back and figure out how to get marketers to think about engagement from an account perspective and sales to not burn their reputation by AI bot 🤖spraying their accounts and blaming others for zero engagement.

Or maybe we shake them all up and point out our messaging and targeting needs a total revamp. 💥

Someone had to say it 🤷And that someone is #revops

🔥 Should RevOps own business systems? Or should IT take the wheel?

This is a pretty spicy 🌶️ debate in RevOps right now, and we’re diving in on the latest episode of the RevOpsAF Podcast. 🎙️

When you’re a small company, RevOps often wears the systems hat - CRM, automation, reporting, yada, yada, yada.

But as you scale, IT typically steps in . . . which can lead to a tug-of-war over ownership.

@Erick Mahle, VP of RevOps & Digital Transformation at Lendz Financial, joined @Camela Thompson to break it all down:

• Who should own business systems—RevOps or IT?
• The data governance dilemma (security vs. agility)
• How to collaborate and not collide with IT

💭 Erick puts it best:

"How can you ensure the right analytics are in place if you're not in the driver's seat of the business systems that generate that data?"
