1 Align with sales strategy

Your sales operations should be aligned with your sales strategy and goals. This means you need to understand your target market, value proposition, sales cycle, and key performance indicators (KPIs). You also need to communicate and collaborate with the sales leadership and the sales reps to ensure that your sales operations are supporting their needs and expectations.

2 Define and track metrics

You can't evaluate your sales operations performance without defining and tracking the right metrics. Metrics are the quantitative indicators that measure your progress, results, and impact. You need to select the metrics that are relevant, actionable, and aligned with your sales strategy and goals. Some common sales operations metrics include revenue, quota attainment, pipeline velocity, conversion rates, customer satisfaction, and sales rep productivity. You also need to establish benchmarks, targets, and thresholds for each metric, and track them regularly using dashboards, reports, and analytics tools.

3 Implement feedback loops

Feedback is essential for evaluating and improving your sales operations performance. You need to collect feedback from different sources, such as sales reps, sales managers, customers, and other stakeholders. You also need to provide feedback to the sales team and the sales operations staff on their performance, challenges, and opportunities. Feedback loops help you identify gaps, issues, and best practices in your sales operations, as well as recognize and reward achievements and successes. You can use surveys, interviews, reviews, and meetings to implement feedback loops.

Scoring and qualitative datapoints can be surfaced real-time leveraging AI tools with clear feedback criteria. Use those around conversation intelligence, process management, etc. and layer those in with teammate and manager feedback loops. AI can provide as close to real-time feedback as possible that's based on manager-defined criteria. The human-centered feedback will give meaningful anecdotal info on top of the pure data-centered feedback.

4 Optimize sales technology

Technology is a key enabler of sales operations performance. It helps you automate, streamline, and enhance your sales processes, such as lead generation, prospecting, nurturing, closing, and retention. You need to optimize your sales technology stack to ensure that it is aligned with your sales strategy, integrated with your other systems, and user-friendly for your sales team. You also need to evaluate the performance, usability, and ROI of your sales technology tools, such as CRM, email, chat, video, and analytics.

5 Invest in training and development

Training and development are crucial for improving the skills, knowledge, and competencies of your sales team and your sales operations staff. You need to invest in training and development programs that are tailored to the needs, goals, and challenges of your sales roles, such as sales reps, sales managers, and sales operations specialists. You also need to provide ongoing learning opportunities, such as coaching, mentoring, webinars, and courses.

6 Experiment and innovate

The sales environment is constantly changing and evolving. You need to experiment and innovate with your sales operations to adapt to the market trends, customer preferences, and competitive pressures. You need to test new ideas, methods, and tools that can improve your sales processes, outcomes, and impact. You also need to measure and analyze the results of your experiments and innovations, and scale the ones that work well. Experimenting and innovating help you stay ahead of the curve and differentiate yourself from the competition.

Constantly test and be on the forefront on emerging technologies and be re-evaluating the current techstack and processes on an ongoing basis. Experiment with new processes and tech with small pilot teams within the revenue org to get a broader set of sample data to confirm what/if changes are needed and how fast to implement them. RevOps teams can get bogged down in just fighting fires and never innovating - prioritize innovation and strategy above all else.

RevOps performance directly impacts GTM performance for Sales, Marketing, CS, etc in a systematic and data-centric way. The effect of an efficient RevOps team will magnify the effectiveness of other teams. BUT: segment performance on RevOps inputs as well as other teams' performance. It's easy to draw false correlation between a RevOps process and another team's success, when they may be mutually exclusive from each other. Set clear measurements on what is RevOps-assisted vs. not.
