Key Takeaways

  • RevOps leaders need to ensure that information they are leveraging is beneficial and useful.

  • The job of a RevOps leader is to bring a different perspective to the table from Marketing and Sales Teams.

Quotes

“If it's not in Salesforce, it doesn't exist. Salesforce is the record of truth, and we want it to be the record of truth. But this requires a few things. It requires reps to input information. But we also don't want to burden the reps at the same time. And we want to be able to ensure that the information that we're leveraging can be useful and beneficial to us.”
