How Does RMOS™ Address Journey Pitfalls?
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operating System) addresses journey pitfalls by giving you a governed way to see, diagnose, and fix breaks across The Loop™—from first touch to renewal—so prospects and customers don’t stall in the gaps between marketing, sales, and customer success.
RMOS™ addresses journey pitfalls by turning customer journeys into an operating system, not a slide. It connects your journey model (such as The Loop™) with clear swimlanes, SLAs, data standards, and plays so you can see where buyers stall, assign owners to fix those gaps, and measure improvement over time. Instead of guessing why opportunities leak or customers churn, RMOS™ uses shared definitions, dashboards, and playbooks to systematically remove friction at every stage.
Which Journey Pitfalls Does RMOS™ Resolve?
The RMOS™ Approach to Fixing Journey Pitfalls
RMOS™ doesn’t just document journey problems; it gives you a repeatable sequence for diagnosing, prioritizing, and resolving them with the right mix of strategy, content, data, and technology.
Map → Diagnose → Prioritize → Design Plays → Instrument → Govern → Optimize
- Map journeys using The Loop™. Align teams on a single journey model—from anonymous demand to advocacy—so pitfalls are visible to everyone using the same language.
- Diagnose friction with RMOS™ diagnostics. Use stage-by-stage conversion, speed, and experience data to pinpoint where buyers stall or churn and why.
- Prioritize high-impact gaps. Score pitfalls by business impact and effort, then focus on the stages and personas that will unlock the most revenue and retention.
- Design journey-aligned plays. Build plays that address root causes, not symptoms—new nurture tracks, sales motions, onboarding paths, and success check-ins tied to specific stages in The Loop™.
- Instrument data, content, and tech. Update tracking, scoring, routing, and content libraries so the new plays run consistently across MAP, CRM, and CX tools.
- Govern through a revenue council. Use RMOS™ governance to review journey dashboards, hold owners accountable, and resolve cross-functional blockers.
- Optimize continuously. Test variations, learn from results, and promote successful plays into standard operating procedure so fixes become part of how you run growth.
