There are so many valuable perspectives that enrich my understanding of RevOps. Although the RevOps “function” (I say function lightly because I believe it is more a framework that aligns the teams across the customer lifecycle) has only really taken off in the last 5 years, there is already a wealth of learnings and thought-provoking ideas that shed light on the world of Revenue Operations.
