Revenue reset checklist

When RevOps stops working
If your dashboards lie, forecasts drift, and teams (Sales, Marketing, CS) work in silos with spreadsheets — it's time for a reset.
RevOps isn't admin. It's your revenue nervous system. And when it breaks, your growth engine stutters.

Why systems decay
Startups evolve faster than their revenue infrastructure across sales, marketing, and customer success. What worked at 50 customers collapses at 200. Your tools, CRM, and rhythms haven't caught up.
The fix isn't "more tooling." It's resetting the foundations. For a full transformation, see Revenue Flow™.

The RevOps checklist
01
Data hygiene
Bad data = bad decisions across all functions.
→ Clean your CRM, marketing automation, and CS platforms. Standardize fields, update stages, and archive outdated records.
02
Unified pipeline process
Your unified pipeline drives revenue predictability.
→ Define each stage, entry/exit criteria, and ownership for lead generation, nurturing, sales, and customer lifecycle.
03
Cross-functional meeting rhythm
RevOps thrives on cross-functional rhythm.
→ Daily: data hygiene. → Weekly: unified forecast & pipeline review. → Monthly: cross-functional retrospectives for Sales, Marketing, and CS.
04
Roles & accountability
RevOps demands clear accountability.
→ Who owns metrics, enablement, tooling, and reporting for Sales, Marketing, and CS?
05
Tools & automation
Audit your entire revenue tech stack. Kill the clutter.
→ Consolidate tools and optimize integrations for seamless data flow across Sales, Marketing, and CS.
06
Integrated feedback loop
Your ops team should see and fix friction weekly.
→ Build a bi-weekly "Ops retro" with Sales, Marketing, and CS leadership.
