Deep in Thought, the Lean Layer blog. How we think about revenue data you can trust, the operating cadence behind a forecast, and the RevOps function itself.
The Revenue Cadence
Forecasting, pipeline review, territory and comp: the operating rhythm revenue runs on.
- How to grade your reps using a fair and balanced approach — How to grade sales reps on effort, impact and outcomes so the grade holds up in a one-on-one, and how to start in a spreadsheet if your CRM data is not ready for it.
The RevOps Function
How to staff, price and measure revenue operations, whether you hire it or buy it.
- Why we don’t do deliverable-based RevOps contracts at Lean Layer — Why we work on a flexible basis instead of fixed deliverables: what a fixed scope does to RevOps work, why it pushes agencies toward templates, and what we do instead of pricing in a buffer.
- When to hire a full-time RevOps employee versus a fractional agency — Deciding between a full-time RevOps hire and a fractional agency comes down to urgency, budget and skill breadth. Here is how to evaluate your needs.
