From Frustration to Innovation: RevOps in the Age of AI

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 40:21

Welcome to another episode of RevOps Revolution! This episode, Jesse Morris sits down with Elio Narciso, a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder of Scalestack, to dive deep into the world of agentic AI and how it’s transforming revenue operations. Elio shares his journey from frustration with messy go-to-market processes—even at Amazon—to building a company dedicated to cleaning up the data chaos and automating “boring but critical” RevOps work.

What You’ll Hear in this Episode:

The Origin Story:

Elio discusses the personal frustration that originated ScaleStack—discovering that even top companies like AWS struggle with messy, untrustworthy CRM data and inefficient processes.

Early Challenges in AI Adoption:

Lessons learned from trying to automate the “last mile” (SDR and outbound email) with agentic AI, and why true impact comes from targeting foundational, backend processes first.

Data Quality & ‘Busy Work’:

The pitfalls of bad data in CRMs and why agentic AI is best applied to tasks that teams typically avoid—cleaning, enriching, and prioritizing data—so humans can focus on higher-value work.

RevOps as a Strategic Partner:

Why companies that empower their RevOps/Go-to-Market operations teams win with AI, and the risks of relegating ops roles to “ticket handlers” without strategic influence.
The Rapid Evolution of AI:
Elio predicts what’s ahead for agentic AI in the next 1, 3, and 5 years, drawing parallels to the mobile revolution. He foresees fully-automated backend workflows, AI agents managing other agents, and the need for every team member to embrace building with AI for true competitive advantage.

Lessons from a Serial Founder:

Build “painkillers,” not “vitamins.”
Always start from the customer’s pain, not just a love for technology.
Find (and appreciate) great co-founders.
Be very strategic about fundraising—take only what you need.

Fiscal Year Planning Sales Compensation Planning for RevOps

mardi 24 septembre 2024 • Durée 14:46

Fiscal Year Planning Sales Compensation Planning

This topic is one most companies struggle with a lot. It’s all about balancing plans that motivate team members and are feasible, while also managing the financial implications of those compensation incentives. It’s often a highly overlooked topic until it becomes an issue.

Power of Feedback

Getting feedback from your stakeholders on what has worked well. These may include field staff, finance teams, sales leaders, CRO, CGO, and sales compensation team members. Sometimes your CEO may want to speak into this topic as well. Talk to these teams to get feedback about what’s worked well and what hasn’t to improve compensation plans moving forward.

*Questions to ask:

Where are we headed?
What behaviors do we want to drive?
What did we not do well in the past?

Variables on Compensation Plans

While you can try to stay simple or get complicated, I typically like to have two variables involved maximum; one variable is ideal if you can. These are often around new logo and expansion or retention. There are a lot of ways to achieve your goals while minimizing your variables. You can’t solve for it all, so focus on the main pieces to avoid over-complication.

mardi 10 septembre 2024 • Durée 10:59

Fiscal Year Planning: Marketing Insights

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into one of the hottest topics in Revenue Operations: Marketing Insights.

Why Marketing Insights Matter

Marketing Insights are essential for understanding and optimizing the interplay between marketing and sales. By integrating Marketing Ops into Revenue Ops, we bridge the gap between these two crucial functions, ensuring that our strategies are synchronized and effective.

A Few Key Questions to Answer:

What questions are we trying to address with our marketing insights?
How do we measure ROI and determine which areas are influencing revenue?
Are our marketing efforts improving, and where should we invest more?

Key Components to Be Looking at:

Marketing Lifecycle:

Key Stages: MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead), SQL (Sales Qualified Lead), Meeting Scheduled, Closed Won/Lost
Methodologies: True Funnel vs. Snapshot Approach
Challenges with long sales cycles and managing conversion rates

Pipeline and Lead Source Attribution:

Understanding different types: Original Source vs. Most Recent
Automating data capture and setting up objects, fields, and data schema
Campaign Attribution and ROI Methodologies: Split credit vs. Weighted credit

ROI & Costs:

Deciding what costs to include, such as salaries and large one-time events
Importance of granularity and the challenge of short-term fiscal measurements

Pitfalls to Avoid:

Avoiding the illusion of perfect data and industry benchmarks
The risks of over-spending early and changing methodologies mid-year

Fiscal Year Planning: Sales Modeling

mardi 27 août 2024 • Durée 14:13

All fiscal year planning starts with data. It's better to have shorter time frames of consistent data than long-term timeframes of data that are inconsistent. Your methodology matters which is why we focus on key data and inputs to be most efficient with sales modeling as we look into the upcoming year.

Data & Inputs Needed:

Pipeline Creation
Conversion Rates
Segmentation
Budget & Hiring Timelines
Ramp Schedules
Additional Investments
Added Products & Enhancements
Trend Data
Board Expectations & Alignment
Capacity and Support Ratios
Lead Source Attribution

Types of Sales Models

The Path to Sales Success with Michael Heuer

lundi 12 août 2024 • Durée 47:45

The Path to Sales Success with Michael Heuer

In this episode of our podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Heuer, a seasoned sales leader renowned for his operationally minded approach and impressive track record in revenue operations. With over 25 years in sales leadership across diverse markets, including EMEA, Michael brings a wealth of experience and a strategic perspective to the table.

Michael's journey began as a developer with an entrepreneurial spirit, having started his own business at just 15. This early exposure to both technology and sales laid the foundation for his career. Over the years, Michael has navigated through various tech revolutions, from the early days of email systems and groupware to cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions and now, SaaS data protection at KeepIt.

During our conversation, Michael shared insights into his operationally focused sales leadership approach. He emphasized his interest in data and its role in driving sales success has been a constant throughout his career. For Michael, effective sales leadership goes beyond just setting strategy; it involves backing it up with data, selecting the right team, targeting the right customers, and helping them achieve their goals.

One key area of discussion was the foundational elements that give Michael's teams an edge. He stressed the importance of understanding price points, analyzing win/loss reasons, and having a comprehensive grasp of the sales cycle. His approach also includes a keen focus on lead generation, whether through marketing, channels, or SDR/BDR teams. According to Michael, success in sales requires discipline, a clear focus, customer orientation, and assembling the right team.

We also talked about the nuances of leading sales teams across different regions. Michael compared the European market to other regions, noting that while there are commonalities, local differences do exist. For instance, European procurement processes are more powerful, and employment laws are more stringent compared to other regions. These factors can impact hiring practices and sales processes significantly.

When discussing turnaround stories, Michael shared his experience in transforming struggling sales teams. Common challenges he has encountered include a lack of clear profiles for customers, opportunities, and partners, as well as ineffective hiring processes and sales methodologies. Addressing these basics often leads to significant improvements.

People, Process & Technology with Carrie Ingersoll

Carrie Ingersoll has amazing experience in both large and small organizations. Her entry point was a contributor in account management. She focuses heavily on the trifecta of people, process, and technology for success in a software company. Jesse and Carrie focus on the power of data for account management. Knowing what your success metrics are is so important. She shares how important it is to start with the end in mind.

Investing in Your People

Building trust with your account team and creating a culture of trust is so vital in SaaS. Listening goes a long way to build trust and keep your team on board, even in hard times.

“People help support what they create.” - Carrie Ingersoll

Defining the Process

There’s a huge relationship between Rev Ops and Account Management teams. There’s a balance between finding the right process, but also a process that doesn’t become cumbersome.

Embracing Technology

Looking for ways that technology can help you automate the parts of your process that may not necessitate the human touch can free your team up for more meaningful engagements with customers, such as detailed business reviews. These are key to uncovering the information that you need to drive retention and upsells. For example, if you are aiming to improve efficiency and timeliness of contract renewals, using automation to send personalized communications to customers to educate them about the process, and then focusing your follow-up only where needed, can make a significant difference.
