“[RevOps is] an accountability aspect. It's deriving empathy between these different, unique areas of skill to understand how we each impact the other. And it doesn't devolve into tools. Just lots of tools where we can automate all these things and we know everything about a client, and that's the end of it and you're done. The human aspect and that accountability aspect, I think is probably the most interesting and critical thing.”
