Quotes

“Revenue operations, I actually believe, have been around for a long time. We just haven't called it rev ops. Some places have just called it pipeline management, cadence. I often say incidentally that the measure of the health of a company is looking at the pipeline and measuring the unweighted four rolling quarter pipeline coverage, the current quarter plus one weighted pipeline coverage. It gives you a very, very strong indication of a company's health.” ––Jamie Anderson, CRO, Emburse
