Why should I read this? 

RevOps won’t become widely adopted and successful without alignment on what RevOps is and does, alignment within each company and across the business world, inside and outside of the SaaS industry.

RevOps professionals won’t fully benefit from all their knowledge and skills if they can’t advance their careers due to the lack of career paths caused by each company’s completely different definitions and duties.

Companies won’t experience the full benefits of RevOps if they misunderstand its true potential and think it’s only tools administration, for example.

A common definition, created from combining numerous experts' opinions, will help RevOps become a more respected and understood field.

About the author

Jen Bergren creates operations courses and educational content, including a documentation cohort course, the HubSpot RevOps Bootcamp, as a guest in the HubSpot RevOps certification, and as a RevOps correspondent at HubSpot's INBOUND conference.

The conflicting answers to “What is RevOps?” led her to write start writing book on the topic in 2020 as her employer was redefining itself as a RevOps agency.

Jen Bergren’s work also includes creating plans, processes, and programs such as a knowledge management program, an employee onboarding program, and a referral partner program that earned Revenue.io’s Heroes of RevOps award in her previous role as Head of Operations at Remotish.
