Council Post: The Entrepreneur Spirit: Lessons For Entrepreneurs From Selling To RevOps
Summary
Ten years ago, I walked away from a good job and a sizable post-acquisition retention bonus to become a first-time entrepreneur. For those who are trying to sell management and colleagues on what RevOps can be and carve out a more strategic role within the organization, the experience and challenges are uncannily similar. RevOps asks similar questions to determine if they can build it on budget and on time and deliver enough ROI to justify the investment. However, to achieve long-term scalability and ROI, RevOps has to take time off to not just think about the big picture but also take action on the more strategic initiatives. This often leads to no time for bigger, more strategic projects that can alleviate the constant fire drills and add new organizational capabilities.
