Operations · Pillar Guide
Revenue operations and onboarding systems
Operations is where sales, marketing, and customer success either align or fragment. These RevOps frameworks build the shared metrics, data architecture, and handoff definitions that turn separate functions into one revenue engine — plus the onboarding systems that protect the revenue you've already won.
What this pillar covers
Shared metrics and data architecture
5–7 shared metrics across teams and a single source of truth that connects CRM, marketing automation, and billing.
Handoff definitions
Explicit criteria for MQL → SQL → opportunity, automated where possible, so leads stop falling between teams.
Onboarding and retention
A structured first 30 days that turns new clients into long-term accounts — most churn is caused by post-sale neglect, not product fit.
