Guest Quote

“The other thing that rev ops does for me is help me use the data that I might find in Salesforce or Tableau or Gong or and tell a story with that data. I'm telling a story to an investor, to a candidate, to the board, to the broader sales organization. And so what they become are storytellers helping me tell stories with the data that they pull out. Really, really important.”
