Full Definition

Revenue Operations (RevOps) is the function that aligns and supports the entire revenue organization — sales, marketing, and customer success — through unified data infrastructure, process design, technology management, and performance analytics. RevOps emerged as a response to the silos between marketing ops, sales ops, and CS ops that led to inconsistent data, conflicting metrics, and broken customer handoffs. A mature RevOps function provides a single source of truth for all revenue metrics, manages the GTM tech stack, designs and enforces sales processes, builds forecasting models, and drives cross-functional accountability.

Real-World Example

Example

A RevOps team might audit the CRM to find that 40% of opportunities are stuck in “Proposal Sent” for 60+ days with no activity — a signal of a broken deal review process — and implement automated alerts and manager escalation workflows to fix the issue.
