How Does RMOS™ Measure Enablement ROI?
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operations Strategy) measures enablement ROI by connecting content, training, and coaching to seller behavior and then to pipeline and revenue outcomes—with governed instrumentation, agreed attribution, and a repeatable measurement cadence.
RMOS™ measures enablement ROI by building a closed-loop measurement model that links enablement inputs (plays, content, training, coaching) to leading indicators (adoption, usage, proficiency, speed-to-action) and lagging outcomes (pipeline creation, win rate, sales cycle, ACV/ARR, retention). The model uses standardized taxonomy, governed tracking, and controlled comparisons (cohorts, holdouts, pre/post baselines) so ROI reflects the impact of enablement—not just activity volume.
What “Enablement ROI” Means in RMOS™
The RMOS™ Enablement ROI Measurement Framework
Use this sequence to define ROI, instrument tracking, validate impact, and turn insights into ongoing enablement optimization.
Define → Instrument → Measure → Prove → Optimize → Govern
- Define the ROI question: What outcome should enablement move (pipeline created, win rate, cycle time, ACV/ARR, renewals)? Set targets and time horizon.
- Standardize taxonomy: Name enablement assets (play, content, training, coaching) and align to persona, stage, and motion (inbound, outbound, expansion).
- Instrument usage: Track who used what, when, and in which context (meeting, email, sequence, deal stage). Capture “attached-to-deal” signals.
- Track leading indicators: Adoption rate, active usage, proficiency checks, talk track adherence, speed-to-first-touch, next-step compliance.
- Connect to pipeline outcomes: Stage conversion, stage velocity, win rate, average cycle length, average deal size, and pipeline coverage.
- Prove impact with comparisons: Cohorts (trained vs not), holdouts, rep tiers, territory controls, or pre/post baselines to isolate enablement effects.
- Optimize and govern: Promote winning plays, refine training/coaching, retire low-impact assets, and report ROI monthly to the revenue council.
Enablement ROI Scorecard (RMOS™)
| Measurement Layer | What You Track | How RMOS™ Proves It | Owner | Primary KPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs | Training, coaching, content, plays shipped; audience coverage | Versioning + governance + clear “why” and target outcomes | Enablement/Ops | Coverage %, Time-to-Ship |
| Adoption | Usage by rep/team; active users; asset attach rate | Instrumented tracking + role-based expectations | Sales Ops | Adoption %, Attach Rate |
| Proficiency | Certification, call scorecards, talk track adherence | Rubrics + spot checks + manager coaching loops | Sales Leadership | Proficiency %, QA Score |
| Behavior | Speed-to-lead, next-step compliance, multithread behavior | Before/after and cohort comparisons by segment | RevOps | Speed-to-Action, Next-Step Rate |
| Pipeline | Stage conversion, stage velocity, pipeline created | Cohorts/holdouts + stage-based attribution | Revenue Ops | Pipeline Created, Conversion % |
| Revenue | Win rate, cycle length, ACV/ARR, expansion, retention | Weighted impact and cost accounting; sensitivity checks | Finance + RevOps | ROI %, Payback Period |
RMOS™ Example: Turning Enablement Into Measurable Revenue
A governed enablement rollout tied each play and asset to deal stages, measured adoption and proficiency, then validated impact through cohorts. Results were reported as improvements in stage conversion and velocity—then translated into revenue lift and ROI. Explore results: Comcast Business · Broadridge
In RMOS™, enablement ROI becomes repeatable when measurement is operationalized through governance, taxonomy, and closed-loop data— so leaders can fund what works and stop investing in what doesn’t.
