As we approach 2025, many businesses are reviewing their tech stacks and analyzing whether the systems they’ve invested in are delivering the ROI they expected. Martech tools are crucial for modern marketing, but they can also be expensive and complex to implement.
There are various descriptions and definitions emerging for the different types of “operations” within a company – marketing operations, sales operations, business operations, financial operations, digital operations, revenue operations, and more. These terms are often used interchangeably. They are also used as department titles. Each B2B company seems to have its own version of what’s included in the operations disciplines.
Revenue operations focuses on the profitability outcomes that a business is trying to achieve. Most business leaders get revenue operations wrong – they think too narrowly about what it actually entails. The oversimplification of revenue operations limits profitability and impedes growth for any type or size of B2B company.
Marketing and sales leaders, customer service and finance leadership teams – even company executives – are struggling daily with how best to AMP-up their revenue production. Many companies make worthy attempts to address their lackluster revenue performance through one-off tactics that range from hiring, firing, and changing sales/marketing roles, to internal digital solutions and customer marketing – to no avail. Sound familiar?
