Roundtable: Amplifying Black Voices in RevOps
When it comes to the RevOps industry, there’s a definitive lack of BIPOC voices. That’s why we sat down with four Black voices in the RevOps Co-op community, so we can amplify their experiences and inspire others.
Defining RevOps
How do our thought leaders define revenue operations?
“It is the discipline that empowers your revenue generating teams, and how we do that is with business processes, well designed systems, oversight, reporting, and analytics insight and enablement. All of those things that support the entire go-to-market team underlying the buyer’s journey to allow those people to bring in more revenue.” — Asia Corbett
“It’s really about building the business, being the glue and the foundation for everything that happens and goes on in that organization. RevOps is a very complex function, and it is very different at all types of business. Every business model makes it their own for what they need to be able to develop a revenue engine that gets them progressing and moving in the right direction. We’re talking strategy, process, data analysis, technology, people. You really have to be a special type of person to be in a revenue operations position.” — Briana Yarborough
“I see RevOps in a few different ways. There’s the technical side of what we do. You’ve got process, technology, tools. There’s tying together different groups in the organization: sales, finance, customer success, product. Then there’s this passion place. There’s problem solving, barrier removing, and truth telling. All of those things are what it means to me. There’s the work in itself, and then there’s what the work actually reveals about an organization and where they’re going.” - Teasha Cable
“I think of RevOps as everything that increases the velocity of sales and the acceleration of sales. Velocity is like distance traveled per unit of time. So, if you’re increasing the velocity of sales, you’re looking at well, what did we do last month? What did we do last year, and how are we doing relative to that? We want that number to be bigger…so to me, that’s everything that enables sellers to sell more and sell faster.” — Marc Belgrave
