Revenue Ops & Automation Blog

Startup SaaS companies face abundant opportunities and tremendous risks when it comes to scaling revenue. Without high fixed overhead and fulfillment costs, SaaS leaders can direct more capital toward marketing and sales. However, if their sales and marketing processes aren’t streamlined and optimized, all that money will quickly go to waste and their investors will walk. 

Revenue Operations (a.k.a. RevOps) is a term that is being thrown around a lot lately on Google searches, LinkedIn posts, and everywhere in between. The problem with this trending topic is, similar to other business buzzwords and jargon, there is no universally agreed-upon definition for revenue operations. 

Revenue Ops means different things to different people, which makes it hard for executives like yourself to get behind the strategy of RevOps and its role in your company. 

HubSpot users were thrilled when HubSpot released its target account feature set (a.k.a. account-based marketing or ABM tools) in May 2020. Although several of these features already existed in various areas of HubSpot, the compilation of these tools with a few new solutions create a one-stop shop for account-based sales teams. 

What if I told you that being an expert in the HubSpot platform is only a fraction of what you need to increase sales using the HubSpot CRM? You can spend your nights and weekends getting certified in every feature and button within the platform, but you still may not be fully confident that your HubSpot CRM is set up right for your business. 

News flash - HubSpot is no longer a marketing platform. 

This might be news to you.  Since HubSpot has done such a good job branding themselves as a leading marketing platform, it's really hard for them to convey that they are no longer simply marketing software.
