Takeaways:
- When you first start your RevOps career, it can be easy to just be an order taker. What you really need to do is be a question asker. Ask what problems are trying to be solved, or what success looks like.
- Projects can be tough to track quantifiably, but the STAR method can help. Ask yourself, what are the Situations, the Tasks, the Actions completed, and the Results?
- Just because something is quantifiable does not mean it is impactful. You can set a goal to produce 50 RFP’s, but what does that entail?
- It is important to have a clearly delineated list of what the RevOps team is and isn’t responsible for. Without one, you will become the “get stuff done” department with extra responsibilities.
- Offshoring responsibilities as a small startup may save you some cash in the immediate future but will end up costing you in the long run.
- When dealing with the board, your number one goal is to anticipate what they are going to ask.
- While the future is uncertain and may lead to turbulence, it also provides a good opportunity for focus. Focus on what goals you and your team are trying to achieve, and establish a plan.
