People & Skills: What Skills Are Essential for Revenue Marketers?
World-class revenue marketers blend go-to-market strategy, data & ops, and creative execution—operating as one team across pipeline, velocity, win rate, and NRR.
Essential skills span three layers: Strategy (ICP, offers, portfolio planning), Execution (campaign orchestration, content, enablement), and Operations (data, systems, measurement). Using The Loop™ and RM6™, teams map skills to journey stages and stage KPIs, then coach to mastery with playbooks and certification.

- Enable with reps: Weekly workshops and sandbox builds (campaigns, dashboards, sequences) with peer review.
