Anthony Enrico of LeanScale on Building RevOps Function within your Company and Steps going from Founder-Led-Sales to a Repeatable Sales System
Going from founder-led-sales to a sales team is a bi#Tch. One of the first things a founder needs to think about is how to connect data and systems together to effectively understand what is working and what's not. Join me in discussing revenue operations with the grand master himself - Anthony Enrico - of LeanScale. You can watch/listen to this podcast on YouTube, Apple, or Spotify.
How do you handle revenue operations in your business, and when did you start doing it? Revenue ops is a better management system for aligning go-to-market operations to boost revenue growth. Revenue op is best started before your first sale, if possible.
