RevOps Podcast

After a little hiatus, we're back at it! There will be some changes coming to the RevOps Podcast, so today we wanted to introduce the new co-hosts. Howard Brown, CEO of Revenue.io, and Alastair Woolcock, CRO at Revenue.io, join Jordan for a lively conversation about hiring your head of Revenue Operations.  Follow the Hosts on LinkedIn: Jordan Henderson (Director of Revenue Operations, The Riversid...

Today, we're back with another oldie but goodie. (Well, it's not that old, but I guess in podcast years, it might actually be.) Anyway, this was another top downloaded episode that we wanted to put in your feed again. It's from our "201 Metrics" series, where we break down performance and diagnostic metrics for different roles on a revenue team.  It should be no surprise that AE metrics was a high...

Today, we are digging into the archives and revisiting an early episode that is a favorite of ours and our listeners. We were lucky to have an awesome guest on the show with us, Rachel Nazhand (Head of Business Operations at Lunchbox). Jordan and Rachel had been bouncing ideas around for almost a year in the DMs before she finally joined us on the podcast. (He wouldn't admit it, but it's probably...

In this episode, we have another top-notch RevOps guest, Greg Poirier, CEO of CloudKettle, a consultancy that helps enterprises build and optimize their Revenue Operations.  He held back on the chess and Star Trek references, but didn't pull any punches when it came to all things RevOps. Greg has done it all, from working at small companies to large enterprises. He has even gone through multiple a...

How do you know Jordan went to law school? He only brings it up EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE! And this episode is no exception. Since the "Logic Game" episode was such a hit (where we drew inspiration from Jordan's days in law school), we decided to do it again. If you missed that episode, shame on you. But here's the quick rundown–we took a RevOps scenario, laid out the facts (i.e., the "fact pattern")...

Fast lead response has never been more important. But with leads and data constantly coming in from multiple sources, how can reps know where to focus in order to drive maximum revenue? This week, Brandon and Jordan sit down with Rob Simmons (VP of Sales Development at LeanData) to learn how top-performing companies are aligning sales, marketing, and operations to optimize lead response and maximi...

We're doing something a little different on this episode. As many of our listeners probably know, Jordan is an attorney by education and we're taking a page from the good ol' law school textbook. What they'll do is lay out all of the facts of a case, then you have to go through it, analyze it and make recommendations based on the information.  And in the case for this episode, the facts are based...

The RevOps Professors are back for our third office hours episode. We get a whole bunch of questions via LinkedIn, email, and even text messages asking us about Revenue Operations. We love it, keep on submitting them! But sometimes, we get a backlog. So, today we plow through a handful of our favorite questions because if one of our listeners has a question, we know that many more of you will prob...

On this week's episode, we're talking about coaching with the VP of Sales at Revenue.io, Ryan Vaillancourt. More specifically, we are talking about key data that drives sales coaching, how to find that data, and how to use it to coach at the highest level. Books mentioned:  The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle Podcasts Mentioned:  Finding Mastery Podcast with Michael Gervais How I Built This with Guy R...

On this week's episode we're talking about LinkedIn. Today we have a bit of a change in format. Jonathan is out of office, so our trusty producer and resident LinkedIn expert Alec Paul joins us (with Jordan's permission) as a full guest. Alec has had a lot of recent LinkedIn success, at least at aggravating people, which we'll talk about. Plus, we'll get into why exactly you should post on LinkedI...

Are your reps generating enough pipeline? It's a question that keeps every sales leader up at night. So Revenue.io, RevOps², TenBound and DemandBase decided to do some research. On today's episode, Ray Rike (Founder of RevOps²) joins us to discuss the results. In addition to getting pipeline and benchmark averages from over 200 companies, we found that there's a sweet spot for how much pipeline an...

There’s thousands of SalesTech solutions out there, and the number is only set to grow. On today's episode we tell you how to find the best of the best. Every spot in a sales tech stack is valuable. But with so many choices these days, it can be hard to figure out exactly which tools deserve a spot. Tune-in to hear the simple system that Jordan created to narrow down the search in this overwhelmin...

The RevOps Professors are back for our second ever office hours episode. We get a whole bunch of questions via LinkedIn, email and even text messages asking us about Revenue Operations. We love it, keep on sending them, but sometimes we get a backlog. Today we plow through a handful of our favorite questions because if one of our listeners has a question we know that many more of you have the same...

This week we are going to talk about Account Scoring. It's one of those subjects Jonathan has wanted to talk about for a long time. But Jordan always says it sounds kind of boring. Today he was (rightly) overruled. We once talked about lead scoring and only got into Account Scoring a bit with Jon Miller (check out that episode here). But we've never done a full episode on it. This is such a valuab...

This week we finally did it. The episode we have teased forever: sales and marketing attribution. The topic is dense, always exciting and important. We expect you to have strong feelings about this one and encourage you to send them all to Jordan directly. So tune-in today and let's talk about attribution. Follow the Hosts on LinkedIn: Jordan Henderson (Sr. Director of Revenue Operations) Brandon...

All right, everybody, buckle up. Welcome to this week's episode of the RevOps podcast. Today we have a special guest, Jordan's boss! That's right, Howard Brown (Founder and CEO of Revenue.io) stops by to answer the most important question of all: How the hell did Jordan get hired? Then we talk about the history of Revenue.io, the recent name change, and why RevOps is key to delivering exceptional...

We've talked about a lot of metrics aligning different pieces of the revenue organization. Marketing to sales, sales to CS, revenue operations in general, all the metrics that you could want to know about your business. This week we want to talk about one that we think is not top of mind for most people, but is incredibly important: sales enablement and sales enablement. Some of you may already be...

This week we continue our 201 series on diagnostic metrics with intent-based marketing. This is a super exciting topic because intent-based data is relatively new and it's a HUGE piece of most ABX experiences. Businesses are really starting to lean into intent data. So, first we talk about what an intent-based marketing strategy is, as some listeners may not be familiar and we want to lay that fra...

We are back on track this week. We know we've had some fun recently. We've had awesome guests. We've held our first office hours, But today we're back to RevOps 201, which loyal listeners will remember as our series on diagnostic metrics.

The Professors are in and their office door is wide open. Come on in! Today we air our inaugural episode of a new series called...Office Hours. Original, we know. We did not copy this format from another podcast. We made this up on our own. Don't look into it. As you know, our loyal listeners send the hosts a litany of questions every week. We usually have time to answer just one of them in our fa...

We've aired a few special episodes recently, but now we’re back to RevOps 201. Today we’re talking marketing metrics to align your revenue operation. Marketing metrics are super interesting. There's a ton of them and many don't even help you align. It's kind of like sales and CS. There's stuff that's good to know, but "how many phone calls your sellers make” is not necessarily helping you align yo...

Today we are excited to have an awesome guest on the show with us, Rachel Nazhand (Head of Business Operations at Lunchbox). Jordan and Rachel have been bouncing ideas around for almost a year in the DMs. He wouldn't admit it, but it's probably why he's so good at his job. Rachel's POV provides a TON of value. She's been working with startups for a while. Lunchbox is her fourth. And they're growin...
