There are many signs that would point to the need for a centralized RevOps Function. 

• Inability to trust your data or have it when you need it
• Lack of interoperability between your GTM Systems
• Lackluster enablement and onboarding
• Struggles getting your different business units to work together

There are a few pitfalls that many have fallen into when standing up RevOps.

Firstly, it’s critical to understand that RevOps is not merely a rebranding of Sales Operations or Marketing Operations. Instead, it demands a cohesive team with a shared vision, ensuring all functions from sales to marketing to customer success are working in unison towards common goals.

Secondly, it’s vital to resist the urge to tackle everything simultaneously. Instead, take stock of what needs to be achieved and prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact. Attention should be given to activities that address immediate requirements, but it’s equally important to consider the long-term implications on the organization’s future needs.

Lastly, it’s essential to establish realistic and suitable expectations with your executive team. Clear communication about the scope, potential challenges, and expected outcomes of the RevOps initiative can help manage expectations, ensure alignment, and foster support from leadership.

By avoiding these pitfalls, you can increase the likelihood of a successful RevOps implementation that drives your organization’s growth and profitability.

When you start using RevOps in your business, it’s important to make sure that the sales, marketing, & customer success teams work together well. You should also make sure everyone knows what they’re supposed to be doing & what’s most important. This helps make sure everything goes smoothly & everyone knows what “good” looks like. Having a plan like this is really important to making sure RevOps works well.
