| 18 Sep 2023 | Creating a Winning Revenue Strategy with the VP of Operations at Nylas, Mallory Lee | 00:47:09 | |
In this episode Romeo is joined by Mallory Lee, VP of Operations at Nylas. Their platform gives developers universal access to email, calendar, and contacts providers through a single integration. Mallory graduated in 2009, when the economy was in a dreadful shape. She was determined to stay in Indianapolis, and during that time one of the only growing companies in her region was ExactTarget (acquired by Salesforce in 2020), where she began her career as a Marketing Business Analyst and stayed for 4 years, climbing up to the title of Marketing Budget & Operations Manager. During her time in ExactTarget she learned Salesforce and had the chance to work on marketing automation projects right at the time when marketing automation started to gain ground. After ExactTarget, Mallory held a variety of roles at Salesforce, Formstack, Bluebridge and Cheetah Digital until she found Terminus where she stayed for 3 years, climbed the ranks, and ultimately found her true calling in the customers journey specialty. Mallory attributes the recent popularity of RevOps to the major advancements that we’ve seen in RevOps tech and the defining of the category. Her passion in RevOps is all about connecting the dots end to end, driving efficient growth, creating enterprise value and approaching growth in the right way. When it comes to building a working GTM motion, Mallory mentions that the key need for any strategy is the need for clear and aligned communication between stakeholders. If your operations team is not on the same page, you’ll be fighting an uphill battle. One of the caveats that Mallory has noticed is that in some environments the ones who hold the Salesforce key are the ones who dictate the rules, which is not a healthy environment. Both Romeo and Mallory agree that early stage startups often try to implement a functional RevOps motion and fail due to rushing the process, often influenced by factors such as impatient investors, pressure from the market and incompetent leadership. This seems sustainable while investor money is coming in, but once that well dries up - the true damage of a misaligned GTM team shows. Tune into the full episode to learn how to create a winning revenue strategy! HIGHLIGHTS: 23:32 Early Stage Startups and Bad RevOps Models Connect with Mallory:

| 18 Sep 2023 | Navigating Intent Data with the Head of RevOps at N.Rich, Anastasiia Binns | 00:35:38 | |
In this episode, Romeo is joined by Anastasiia Binns, Head of RevOps at N.Rich - an ABM and buyer intent platform. The episode focuses on how she has implemented Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and how Revenue Operations (RevOps) plays a crucial role in enabling ABM within their organization.
Anastasiia introduces herself as a team of one at N.Rich, responsible for RevOps. Her expertise lies in building RevOps functions from scratch, and she shares her journey of joining the company with the goal of setting up the RevOps function and implementing ABM. Anastasiia explains that the platform combines intent data and ABM advertising. The company targets accounts, not individual prospects, and uses advertising to engage these accounts. N.Rich's platform optimizes campaigns, focusing on clicks, conversions, and significant engagements rather than mere impressions. The platform also helps segment the audience based on intent data, making content more relevant. The guest clarifies that the company captures IP addresses and tracks cookies to understand which companies are engaging with content. They focus on company-level intent data, which is GDPR compliant. She distinguishes this approach from some US-based companies that use person-level intent data, which can raise GDPR compliance issues. At N.Rich, the company defined their ICP and categorized accounts into three tiers. The decision-making process for tiering involved aligning sales and marketing goals and ensuring consistency in targeting. RevOps played a facilitating role in these decisions.Anastasiia mentions that the company leverages HubSpot's integration to monitor account activity and engagement. The data captured in HubSpot helps the SDR team understand when accounts demonstrate first-party intent. The team uses campaign analytics for additional insights. They also modified their attribution mechanism to accommodate the changes made during the ABM implementation.

| 18 Sep 2023 | HubSpot as Your Ultimate RevOps Advantage with the Co-Founder & CEO of Supered, Matt Bolian | 00:50:13 | |
In this episode, Romeo is joined by Matt Bolian, the Co-Founder of RevPartners and the Co-Founder/CEO of Supered - a company that helps turn CRM adoption into your superpower by providing training and guidance for revenue teams. Matt’s background is in the US military, where at the end of his 6 year tenure he held the title of Director of Analytics: Battalion Intelligence Officer. A lot of his daily tasks were similar to the duties of a RevOps professional - he needed to synthesize information to help people make the right calls, which is exactly how RevOps aides their revenue teams. Once he left the military, Matt found his next role at C Spire as their Chief of Staff. Initially he had thought of going into sales, but he noticed that the structure that C Spire had made for their sales team was inefficient, so he took it upon himself to fix their CRM and go from chaos to clarity. Matt’s journey to becoming the Co-Founder of RevPartners started in 2019, when the President who hired him at C Spire became a CEO of Connectivity Wireless and took him along for the ride. Initially it was planned that Matt would lead their business operations/marketing and be in charge of their ERP, although they had a Microsoft Suite, which Matt is not a fan of. During that time the CEO who brought him over left, and then everybody who he brought along for the ride got laid off - except Matt. Matt realized that his role was a quintessential part of the business, even though he didn’t have the name for it, and so his journey into RevOps began. His A-HA moment was when he realized that RevOps was a very difficult role to hire for, so upon meeting Brendan Tolleson, who at the time was a CRO, they began to brainstorm on how to effectively help companies outsource this function and avoid the trial and error that is required to successfully build a RevOps function in-house. And so - RevPartners was born. It’s no secret that Salesforce is an expensive, and often overly complex tool for most businesses. When Matt discovered Hubspot, he came to the conclusion that this was the right CRM for him to hone his specialty in, as it does all the base functions he needed than any other platform, so he went all-in. Romeo and Matt take a deep dive into how to correctly analyze your Go-To-Market strategy and what common mistakes are making revenue teams inefficient. Matt says that every company is doing RevOps in one way or another - even if they don’t realize it - and mentions that a company's revenue maturity is not an indicator of their RevOps maturity. The first things to look at are if your sales team is following a process and if your success team is all on the same platform, otherwise you’re approaching RevOps backwards.

| 18 Sep 2023 | Creating a Unified RevOps System with the Director of Growth Marketing at Syncari, Evan Dunn | 00:49:06 | |
In this Episode, Romeo is joined by Evan Dunn, Director of Growth Marketing at Syncari. Evan's career spans linguistics, marketing, analytics, and AI. He began in linguistics, transitioned to marketing and social listening consulting, and later entered analytics consulting for TV shows. Evan excelled in digital and growth marketing, having worked with unicorns and collaborating with CMOs and IT leaders across his career. Evan embraced Account-Based Marketing (ABM) at Syncari, where he is the Director of Growth Marketing, emphasizing the impact of data alignment. Evan's versatile experience makes him a valuable asset in data-driven marketing and technology, demonstrating adaptability and various insights from across diverse industries.
Historically, Salesforce initially structured its data model like accounting software, leading to a mismatch in data needed for Account-Based Marketing (ABM). This misalignment created a necessity of lead-to-account matching to cater to ABM's focus on turning leads into accounts. However, smaller companies without strict procurement processes face challenges when shifting towards company targeting. In contrast, HubSpot adopted a different data architecture, reflecting their pioneering vision of cloud CRM. For growing companies, data alignment might not be a priority, but it becomes crucial as businesses scale and seek greater productivity. Data sets and IT play pivotal roles in B2B organizations, with early-stage startups needing systems that support experimentation and rapid adaptation. Accurate data alignment across systems, called operational data, is essential for effective campaigns, while analytical data is used for strategic dashboards and strategic decisions made by top level management. Creating systems that foster alignment across RevOps and ABM functions is crucial. Data and IT solutions can help these teams work towards a common goal of revenue generation. Syncari, a potential solution, emphasizes the importance of business-wide alignment facilitated by efficient systems and instrumentation. As businesses shift their focus away from high-tech sectors, data-driven insights become essential for targeting new industries. Data in the hands of front-line teams is critical for feedback loops and informed strategies, as relying solely on communication tools like Slack can result in inadequate sample sizes for strategic decision-making.

| 24 Oct 2023 | The Critical Role of Subject Matter Expertise for ABM Success with CRO of AiDen Auto, Todd Thomas | 00:55:46 | |
Romeo and Todd Thomas, CRO of Aiden Automotive Technologies, touch upon the essential nature of subject matter expertise in B2B and targeted ABM. No matter how advanced technology becomes, knowing the nuances of a specific industry or field remains critical. True ABM requires a deep understanding of the target audience, precise messaging, and tailored approaches. All that should come from identifying the unique needs and challenges of different stakeholders in target accounts. Businesses should also not underestimate the role of data in refining strategies. Understanding what works and what doesn't is crucial in iterating for better outcomes. Tune into this episode to delve deep into the blend of technology, data science, and its impact across various industries. If you've ever wondered about the true value of subject matter expertise in marketing, this episode is a must-listen! | |||

In this episode, Romeo is joined by Steffen Hedebrandt Co-Founder and CMO of Dreamdata.io - a company that Automatically extracts, cleans and simplifies your B2B go-to-market data, and empowers your team through revenue impact. Steffan's journey into the world of B2B marketing and growth began shortly after graduating from university in the early 2010s. Throughout his career, he has honed his skills in various marketing and growth-related roles, gaining invaluable experience in the B2B go-to-market landscape. His professional path has consistently led him to startups and scale-up companies, where a digital focus reigns supreme. By applying a deep-rooted growth mindset and a data-driven approach, he has successfully scaled businesses and built teams at companies like Upwork and Airtame. At DreamData, Steffen and his team empower customers to understand their customer journeys, optimize costs, and strategically allocate resources. His role as Chief Marketing Officer underscores his commitment to solving the challenges of scaling marketing and growth. Steffen's journey exemplifies his dedication to helping businesses thrive in the dynamic B2B landscape, making him a notable figure in the field of marketing and growth.
The self-reported attribution, which involves open-field questions about referral sources, is relevant in B2B SaaS companies. Still, DreamData offers a more comprehensive solution that goes beyond merely asking customers how they heard about a product or service. Steffen suggests that self-reported attribution can help identify instances where marketing stands out, though it risks confirmation bias, potentially exaggerating the impact of certain marketing efforts.

| 18 Sep 2023 | Going From Start-Up to Acquisition with the CEO & Co-Founder of the RevOps Co-op, Matt Volm | 00:50:48 | |
In this episode, Romeo is joined by Matt Volm, CEO and Co-Founder of RevOps Co-op. Matt's journey into Revenue Operations (RevOps) began as a VP at ALLY.io, an early-stage startup focused on developing OKR software. As one of the initial ten employees, he managed various aspects, including accounting, legal, finance, and revenue operations. Despite his extensive finance and strategy background, Matt was new to RevOps. In just two years, the company expanded to 150 employees, experienced increased revenue, and was eventually acquired by Microsoft, becoming what we know today as Viva Goals. Subsequently, Matt ventured into building his own company in the RevOps space, founding RevOps Coop—a global community of 10,000 individuals passionate about revenue operations. The main RevOps challenges, according to Matt, include its evolving nature, the transition to a more strategic approach, and resource allocation. On the other hand, Romeo emphasizes RevOps professionals' need to understand various business processes, such as sales ops, marketing ops, funnels, sales processes, customer success, and finance. Matt elaborates that RevOps is an evolving field, with its scope aligned with revenue-supporting operations like marketing, sales, post-sales, customer success, and customer support. The guest stresses the importance of identifying revenue drivers and investing resources strategically. When hiring a RevOps candidate, Matt suggests looking for adaptability and a willingness to tackle new challenges. Established companies may prefer specialists, while early-stage ones benefit from versatile generalists. To cultivate strategic thinking in RevOps professionals, Matt suggests constantly asking "why" and learning from internal and external sources, such as team meetings and communities like RevOps Coop. Continuous improvement is crucial in this broad field. The initial period in a RevOps role, Matt advises, should be focused on understanding problems, prioritizing them by impact, and delivering quick wins to gain trust. Building internal relationships and aligning with business goals is essential. Matt also underscores the importance of reporting structure, recommending that RevOps reports to a Chief Revenue Officer, COO, or VP of Business Ops rather than sales or marketing leaders.

| 11 Oct 2023 | Embracing RevOps In Modern Business With HubSpot Legend Dan Tyre | 00:25:46 | |
In this episode, Romeo delves deep into the world of Revenue Operations (RevOps) alongside Dan Tyre, a seasoned veteran from HubSpot, with a robust entrepreneurial background spanning over 42 years.
During their conversation, both Romeo and Dan touch upon the transformational shift in the perception of RevOps. From being a role relegated to "fire extinguishing", RevOps is now envisioned as the Spider-Man of the corporate world, connecting different strands to ensure seamless operational synergy. Dan brilliantly captures its essence, quoting the HubSpot RevOps overview: "RevOps is a strategic integration of sales, marketing, and service to provide a better end-to-end view of administration and management, thereby enhancing day-to-day processes across these departments." But why has RevOps become so essential in recent times? Dan believes that it's the rapid scaling of companies that pushes them towards a metaphorical "bottleneck". When growth becomes too quick to handle, companies run the risk of diluting their customer experience. Herein lies the true power of RevOps - its ability to consolidate data and offer insights that propel companies toward sustainable and intentional growth.
Before wrapping up, Dan shares a potent takeaway. He underscores the immense competitive advantage businesses can gain by embracing RevOps. With the right data, understanding, and efficiency, businesses can not only delight customers but also solidify their position in the market. Tune into the full episode to learn how RevOps can revolutionize your growth strategy and why it's quickly becoming an indispensable facet of modern businesses.
