Lessons from Leading a Unified RevOps Function - Julia Kim
Listen now
Description
I'm a really big believer in the idea of a unified RevOps function supporting all the go-to-market teams. But I'll be honest, sometimes it's a little discouraging when I look at how RevOps is done in practice, because outside of a few examples, I usually see essentially a sales ops function with a new name. So I wanted to find people who are actually leading a unified RevOps team in the real world and to understand how they're doing it and how it's working out for them. Today's guest is leading a very mature RevOps function at Electric and has a ton of practical insight to share. Thanks to Our SponsorMany thanks to the sponsor of this episode - Knak.
