2024 Revenue Operations Research

Benchmarking Revenue Operations to Enable Growth

In a rapidly evolving commercial landscape, organizations are aligning Revenue Operations (RevOps) with strategic growth plays, assessing their efficacy across functions, business units and geographies to ensure maximum ROI. Leading organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance their revenue operations teams have on both revenue growth and productivity.

Investment in RevOps talent is on the rise despite economic uncertainties, with a significant budget portion dedicated to personnel and a notable increase in headcount. RevOps teams are taking charge of Strategy, Analytics and Enablement, providing crucial insights for commercial excellence and dynamically reporting on key customer metrics.
