We LOVE point #3 from a recent SaaStr post about the rapid success of Codeium. The invested early in rev-ops because "inefficiencies become critical bottlenecks". It's such a good point and too often ignored—systems and processes that do the job early don't do the job as you scale—and can really hurt growth velocity. "Codeium didn’t just focus on adding headcount—it ensured new hires ramped quickly and effectively. One of the earliest investments was in a?best-in-class enablement leader, who had previously built programs at MongoDB and Datadog. For revenue operations, the team focused on?data-driven decision-making?early on, avoiding common pitfalls where companies delay RevOps investments until inefficiencies become critical roadblocks. “If you’re scaling fast, don’t throw sand in the gears,”?says Graham.?“You need RevOps and Enablement early to ensure you don’t hit avoidable roadblocks down the line.”

??? Unlock the secrets to B2B SaaS Growth! Discover how Entri, Bounti, and Thoughtly and daydream are boosting their SaaS success with Salesbricks! The fact is that sales ops and overall sales velocity can slow down with success—too many tools, lost docs, potential for error, and a clunky process that will not scale. Bounti.ai used Salesbricks to accelerate sales within a PLG sales motion. Being able to quickly adapt to customer requests made the difference. Thoughtly built a unified system for rev ops with the amazing CRM, Attio (Salesbricks offers native integration with Attio.) Entri unified their process under Salesbricks making them less prone to error and better able to sell to larger enterprises. daydream saw the light early and Salesbricks has been a force multiplier for their team as they scale up.

???????? ???????? ???? ???????????????? ?????????? ???????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????? We talk to a lot of startup sales teams here at Salesbricks. One of the most common challenges we see is sales velocity (and sales operations) getting bogged down by a disconnected hodgepodge of tools. You probably know what we’re talking about—Stripe for payments, Google Docs for quoting and agreements, an e-signature app, and maybe some other tools for billing—none of which are in sync. Early on, it may not matter what tools are used—we get it—everyone just needs to close deals. But as startups see success, operational debt becomes real. The one-off processes that got you your first sales will eventually slow you down. Especially in sales, you’ll find yourself and your team stuck with manual tasks, using different tools for quoting, signing, invoicing, and collecting. Growth will always be a little crazy—but we suggest these ???????? ???????? to ensure that sales velocity doesn’t decelerate: 1?? - ?????????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????????????, ?????? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????? ??????????. Consistency will streamline your sales motion, make billing and collections easier, and lead to more predictable, repeatable selling motions. It also helps when scaling the team—guidelines and guardrails around pricing make it much easier to onboard new reps. 2?? - ??????’?? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?? ????????. Ensure that deal response time is quick. If it takes even a few hours for a rep to get approval, adjust a quote, and send it back to a customer, it’s taking too long. Quoting and responding to customer requests should be digital—and done in real time. 3?? - ?????????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????????, ??????????????, ?????? ??????????????????. If you’re using separate systems, reps will get bogged down. Even if you have a dedicated sales ops lead, managing and coordinating across multiple platforms will become a bottleneck and a source of errors. Perhaps the biggest issue is that data ends up scattered across different tools, making even the simplest reporting a nightmare. 4?? - ?????????????? ???? ???????? ?????? ??????’?? ???????? ?????????? ????????. If you aren’t billing and collecting on time, it will slow down renewals and create a bad experience for customers. Too often, startups enter renewal conversations only to realize a customer hasn’t been paying—not a great situation when you're handing them a renewal contract along with a huge past-due bill, and your only explanation is disorganization. Timely billing builds consistency, and consistency is key to strengthening customer relationships. 5?? - ???????????? ?????????????????????? ???????? ???? ???????? ???? ????????????????. This point ties into all of the above, but it’s worth emphasizing. Operational debt will drain your team’s time and slow down growth. Manual processes might work in the early days, but to achieve scale, you need to automate.
