The operational discipline that aligns sales, marketing, and customer success around unified data and processes.

TL;DR

The operational discipline that aligns sales, marketing, and customer success around unified data and processes.

Full Definition

Revenue Operations (RevOps) is the function that aligns and supports the entire revenue organization — sales, marketing, and customer success — through unified data infrastructure, process design, technology management, and performance analytics. RevOps emerged as a response to the silos between marketing ops, sales ops, and CS ops that led to inconsistent data, conflicting metrics, and broken customer handoffs. A mature RevOps function provides a single source of truth for all revenue metrics, manages the GTM tech stack, designs and enforces sales processes, builds forecasting models, and drives cross-functional accountability.

Real-World Example

Example

A RevOps team might audit the CRM to find that 40% of opportunities are stuck in "Proposal Sent" for 60+ days with no activity — a signal of a broken deal review process — and implement automated alerts and manager escalation workflows to fix the issue.
