How Does RMOS™ Map Scoring to the Customer Lifecycle?
RMOS™ connects signals to stages—from acquire to renew—by blending intent, fit, product usage, and success health into stage-aware scores that trigger the next best play across Marketing, Sales, and CS.
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operating System) maps scoring to lifecycle by binding signals to specific stage intents—Awareness → Consideration → Evaluation → Commit → Onboard → Adopt → Expand → Renew. Each stage has allowable signals (e.g., pricing views at Commit; activation milestones at Adopt), weights by persona, recency/decay, and negative points for friction (support risk, procurement delays). When thresholds are met, RMOS™ promotes the record, triggers plays & SLAs, and publishes reason codes so teams know why the stage changed.
What RMOS™ Adds to Lifecycle Scoring
The RMOS™ Lifecycle Scoring Playbook
A step-by-step to translate signals into stage movement and outcomes.
Define → Instrument → Normalize → Score → Thresholds → Trigger → Govern
- Define lifecycle & intents: Clarify stage entry/exit criteria; list valid signals and disqualifiers for each.
- Instrument capture: Track web, ads, email, meetings, product usage, support, billing, and CS notes with stage tags.
- Normalize identity: Stitch people↔account; align MAP/CRM/CS tools with a shared taxonomy.
- Score by stage: Weight actions, personas, and recency; add negatives for risk (tickets, overdue invoices).
- Set thresholds & gates: Require role coverage and prerequisite actions (e.g., onboarding complete) to promote.
- Trigger plays & SLAs: Route to owners and launch nurture, onboarding, adoption, expansion, or save plays.
- Govern with reason codes: Review precision/recall, stage duration, activation %, and NRR to tune rules monthly.
Lifecycle Scoring Capability Maturity Matrix
| Capability | From (Ad Hoc) | To (Operationalized) | Owner | Primary KPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lifecycle Taxonomy | Generic funnel labels | Stage intents & entry/exit rules shared across GTM & CS | RevOps | Stage Clarity, Handoff Errors |
| Signal Capture | Marketing-only events | MAP+CRM+Product+CS telemetry unified | Data/Platform | Signal Coverage, Match Rate |
| Stage Scoring Models | Single score | Per-stage weights incl. persona, recency, negatives | ABM/Marketing Ops | Stage Conversion, Time-in-Stage |
| Triggers & Plays | Manual follow-up | Automated, role-specific plays with SLAs | Sales & CS | Speed-to-Action, SLA Attainment |
| Adoption & Health | NPS-only checks | Usage depth, time-to-value, risk signals drive Adopt/Expand | Customer Success | Activation %, Expansion Rate |
| Governance | Occasional tweaks | Monthly council tuning by precision/recall & NRR | Revenue Council | NRR, Churn Rate |
Client Snapshot: From Activation to Expansion
A B2B SaaS mapped onboarding checklist completion and first-value events to Adopt, added negative points for unresolved P1 tickets, and required admin+exec coverage to promote to Expand. Result: 18% faster activation and a 9-point NRR lift in two quarters.
