B2B Revenue teams are under more pressure than ever. Markets are shifting, budgets are tightening, and leadership demands transparency into performance – across the entire Go-to-Market function. This challenge is not new, but the pain is getting more acute.
Revenue Operations (aka RevOps) was born from the need for better planning and reporting, primarily in the Sales process (remember “Sales Ops?”). Over time it has become a must-have function for Sales and Marketing teams to align and optimize activities towards shared growth goals.
However, even as most organizations invest in a RevOps function, usually with a primary focus on reporting, it’s actually gotten harder in recent years for revenue teams to align across functions, plan ahead strategically, and provide credible visibility into ongoing performance. Too often, Sales, Marketing and other teams are using disconnected systems for planning, execution and reporting, while at the same time working towards function-specific goals which are not fully aligned to support growth objectives.
What does this look like for a lot of B2B revenue teams?
❌ Sales teams wasting time chasing the wrong leads
❌ Marketing spending without clear visibility into ROI
❌ Forecasts that are always “best guesses” rather than real predictions
❌ Executive leadership questioning the performance and forecasting data
❌ Revenue teams operating in silos instead of working as one unit
This chaos isn’t just time-consuming, it costs teams revenue. If your go-to-market motion feels messy, misaligned, and inefficient, you’re not alone. Enter RevOps Automation—a strategic approach to streamlining revenue operations by leveraging automation, analytics, and system integrations to drive efficiency and performance. Much like the innovation that Marketing Automation brought to B2B Demand Generation, RevOps Automation is a major innovation for B2B Go-to-Market teams.
What is RevOps Automation?
RevOps (Revenue Operations) Automation is the practice of streamlining and optimizing revenue-driving processes across Marketing, Sales, Customer Success and Finance. It ensures that teams are working towards shared goals, that processes are standardized, and that insights drive smarter decisions. By automating workflows and leveraging real-time data, companies can eliminate inefficiencies, improve forecasting, and accelerate revenue growth.
In other words, RevOps Automation is the fix to the “RevOps Sprawl” problem. It eliminates bottlenecks, replaces guesswork with real-time insights, and makes revenue operations a competitive advantageinstead of a constant headache.
