What is revenue operations (RevOps)?

Revenue operations, or RevOps, is the team or function that runs the systems, data and processes behind marketing, sales and customer success as one system. It owns the CRM, the definitions of stages and metrics, routing of leads, tool choices and reporting, so every team works from the same numbers.

What does RevOps own?

The CRM and the data in it: fields, stages, cleanliness.
Definitions: what counts as a lead, an SQL, an opportunity, a meeting held.
Lead routing: who gets which lead, and how fast.
The tool stack and how the tools connect.
Reporting and forecasting.

How is RevOps different from sales operations?

Sales operations supports the sales team. RevOps covers the whole revenue path, from marketing to renewal, so that the hand offs between teams are part of one design. In small companies one person often does both.

When do you need RevOps?

Signs it is time
Sign	What it looks like
Numbers disagree	Marketing and sales report different counts for the same thing
Leads go missing	Inbound leads wait days because nobody owns routing
Tools overlap	Several tools do the same job and none is trusted
Reports take days	Every board meeting needs a manual spreadsheet
