Segmentation allows you to group contacts based on similar demographics, challenges and interests. checklist-icon-handoff 2. Marketing-to-sales handoff There are a lot of moving parts when a lead transitions from marketing to sales. Lead routing, digital body language, notifications, tasks and workflows all need to operate correctly to ensure that leads don’t slip through the cracks. checklist-icon-lead scoring 3. Lead scoring This methodology is used to rank prospects against a set of criteria that represents their perceived value to and level of interest in your organization. It’s an essential component to prioritize lead outreach and quantify their level of engagement. checklist-icon-reporting 4.

Operations can help pull data together, create reports and provide unbiased analysis in this area. checklist-icon-lifecycle stage 5. Lifecycle stage definitions Effective implementation of lifecycle stages allows you to accurately measure prospects' progression through the buyer’s journey by analyzing the funnel.

Incorrect or poor quality input will always produce a faulty output, making data enrichment a fundamental layer that ensures every operational component works correctly. checklist-icon-process documentation 8.

Effective documentation provides a reference point for everyone at the company to understand how the system is intended to work. checklist-icon-pipeline management 9. Pipeline management Any sales exec will tell you that pipeline management can be difficult. Operations can help by reporting the pipeline in various deal stages across multiple lines of business while accounting for variations in the sales process for new business, renewals and upsells. checklist-icon-form strategy 10. Form strategy Marketing and sales rely on certain information from prospects to engage with them in the most valuable way possible. Revenue operations facilitate this process through a form strategy that includes queued questions and progressive profiling
