How Does RMOS™ Manage Lifecycle Automation at Scale?
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operating System) scales lifecycle automation by turning your RM6 maturity model, tech stack, and team processes into a single operating system—so every stage from first touch to renewal and expansion runs on repeatable, measurable plays instead of one-off campaigns.
RMOS™ manages lifecycle automation at scale by codifying lifecycle stages and plays on top of the RM6™ framework, centralizing data and orchestration across CRM, MAP, and CX systems, and governing execution through playbooks, SLAs, and dashboards. Instead of a patchwork of nurture streams, RMOS™ provides a single operating model that aligns strategy, people, process, content, and technology around pipeline, NRR, and GRR.
What Makes RMOS™ Scalable for Lifecycle Automation?
The RMOS™ Lifecycle Automation Playbook
Use this sequence to understand how RMOS™ operationalizes lifecycle automation—from strategy and data all the way to dashboards and continuous improvement.
Assess → Design → Instrument → Orchestrate → Enable → Measure
- Assess lifecycle maturity with RM6: Benchmark where you are today across strategy, people, process, technology, and results. Identify lifecycle gaps by stage: awareness, consideration, purchase, onboarding, adoption, expansion, and renewal.
- Design your lifecycle operating model: Define target-state stages, entry/exit criteria, roles, SLAs, and success metrics. RMOS™ codifies this into a reference architecture for how leads, contacts, and accounts should move.
- Instrument data and triggers: Align CRM, MAP, product usage, and CS systems to a shared data model. Configure the events, fields, and scoring rules that will trigger lifecycle plays at each stage.
- Orchestrate plays across channels: Build reusable lifecycle plays in your automation tools (email, ads, in-app, sales sequences) that align to each stage and outcome. RMOS™ standardizes naming, structure, and reporting for every play.
- Enable teams on the new way of working: Train marketing, sales, and CS on lifecycle definitions, handoffs, and how to use dashboards. Embed playbooks into day-to-day workflows, not just documentation.
- Measure, optimize, and govern: Use revenue dashboards to monitor stage conversion, velocity, and lifecycle health. RMOS™ sets a governance cadence so plays are pruned, tuned, and scaled based on impact.
