The question is, how can you get each department, from marketing and sales to customer service and IT support, work together, consistently, and towards a shared goal?

In this article, we’re going to discuss the importance RevOps and Sales Ops in relation to a B2B SaaS business model. So, let’s get started!

Establish Teamwork Through Rev Ops & Sales Ops

A B2B SaaS business model involves pinpointing a problem and selling a solution via technology. These days customers are more demanding and more aware of sales and digital marketing techniques. Selling software as a service to other businesses can feel like an uphill battle. While their buying power might be double a consumer’s budget, attracting the right people to your business can be complicated. But, if you are selling software that adds value or provides an innovative solution, you’re already on the road to success.

Marketing your services to business customers will take time and resources. You’ll need to really understand your target customer’s pain points, and their budget will make selling SaaS easier. Many companies fail to invest enough time and resource into marketing and developing customer personas before they jump straight into creating a brand, online presence, and digital marketing strategy.

Those who do carry out customer research don’t know how to effectively translate this data across their entire team to provide a more bespoke and targeted approach. That’s where the role of Revs Ops and sales ops comes in. These key positions within your business will act as the hinge between your departments, conveying critical information about your business goals, market research, customer insight, and targets to the marketing, sales, customer service, and web development team. Through co-operation and teamwork, you can align each department and use each member of your team to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives, thus growing your brand and business.

Building Brand Equity

Your brand is the first impression B2B customers will have of your business. This is the best way to position yourself as a professional, reliable, trustworthy industry leader. Fail to get your branding right, and you’re only going to make your life more difficult.

Branding messaging needs to be consistent, clear, and relatable to your unique target audience. Consider who your customer is, and what would make them trust you? It’s important to note that once you’ve established your brand, it is difficult to change it moving forward.

A RevOps and Sales Op will help to make sure your team is all using the same branding, marketing messaging and tone of voice, whether it’s when meeting customers face to face, sending out marketing emails, or responding to customer inquiries online.
