How Does RevOps Facilitate Sales and Marketing Alignment?
RevOps runs one operating system—shared lifecycle, SLAs, single scorecard, governance cadence, and a common data model—to keep sales and marketing coordinated from plan to renewal.
Who Does What, By When (RACI & SLA)
| Stage | Primary SLA | Marketing | Sales/SDR | RevOps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MQL created | Route ≤ 5 minutes | R (score & route) | I | A/C (rules & monitoring) |
| SAL response | First touch ≤ 1 hour | C (context) | R/A (respond) | C (alert & audit) |
| Qualification (SQL) | ≤ 2 business days | I | R/A | C (criteria & reports) |
| Opportunity hygiene | Update weekly | I | R/A | C (checks & coaching cues) |
| Closed/Won handoff | CS kickoff ≤ 7 days | C (case study flags) | R (handoff) | A (playbook, fields, alerts) |
Operating Rhythm That Sustains Alignment
| Cadence | Purpose | Inputs | Decisions | Owners |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Ops Sync | SLA health, pipeline moves | Scorecard, alerts, exceptions | Routing fixes, next-best actions | RevOps + MOPs + SDR lead |
| Biweekly Campaign Review | Program performance | Attribution, cohort reports | Budget shifts, audience updates | Marketing + Sales |
| Monthly QBR | Plan vs actual | Coverage, conversion, velocity | Enablement, plays, targets | ELT + RevOps |
| Quarterly Planning | ICP, goals, capacity | Win/loss, TAM, segment data | Route-to-market & budget | CRO/CMO + RevOps |
RevOps Mechanisms That Make Alignment Real
