PRINCIPLES

Give yourself some credit

We have all experienced impostor syndrome at least once (maybe more). When things get difficult, it's easy to fall into the trap of doubting your abilities.

However, by leveraging data to track your progress, performance, and successes, you can confidently validate your contributions. 

Data provides tangible evidence of your impact, helping you overcome self-doubt and ensuring that you give yourself the credit you deserve. 

Trust in the numbers — you might not feel confident about bragging about it, but they're proof of your expertise and effectiveness, so don’t be afraid to share far
and wide.

TACTICS

Leverage ELG in your RevOps’ favor 

A couple of weeks ago, GTM Partners shared in their newsletter 6 Reasons why RevOps is the MVP of GTM. 

“Successful SaaS companies should rely on a mature Revenue Operations team to achieve their targets.” 

They couldn’t be more right. To be able to reach your company’s KPIs, you have to measure them, and who better than RevOps to do that?

However, RevOps becomes even more powerful when combined with ELG strategies. By integrating ecosystem intel, partner data, and insights into their processes, RevOps can drive more effective, aligned, and data-driven go-to-market strategies. 

Here’s why ELG can ease your RevOps job: 

1. The strategic evolution of RevOps

When aligned with an ELG strategy, RevOps can leverage ecosystem intelligence and partner data to provide deeper insights into revenue challenges. 

By understanding how partners and integrations influence the customer journey, RevOps can pinpoint friction points and recommend strategies that enhance the efficiency of sales motions. 

2. Multifaceted backgrounds of RevOps leaders

As RevOps leaders increasingly come from diverse backgrounds like marketing, product, and business intelligence, they bring a well-rounded understanding of the business — they understand what GTM teams and customers need. 

By integrating account mapping, partner data, and technographic insights, RevOps leaders can set more effective departmental objectives that align with your company’s North Star goals. 

Their broad perspective allows them to harness ecosystem relationships and partner influence to create more cohesive and data-driven strategies across the organization. 

3. Technological advancements and problem-solving

RevOps teams are at the forefront of leveraging new technologies and AI to overcome challenges and build comprehensive deal 360 views. 

With an ELG approach, RevOps can go further by integrating ecosystem data — such as partner activities, account mapping, and warm introductions — into these 360-degree views. 

This holistic perspective allows them to identify optimal touchpoints, messaging, and value propositions that resonate across the ecosystem and internal teams.

4. Proving the value of the tech stack

RevOps plays a crucial role in evaluating and justifying the ROI of the GTM tech stack.

An ELG strategy enhances this by ensuring that each tool in the stack is optimized for ecosystem collaboration. RevOps can assess how well tools integrate with ecosystem partners and whether they facilitate effective data sharing and collaboration. 

5. Leading the charge for unified dashboards

RevOps teams excel at creating unified dashboards that enhance data integrity and build trust within the C-suite. 

With an ELG approach, these dashboards integrate ecosystem data, providing a more comprehensive view of performance. By adding partner insights, account mapping, and warm intros, RevOps shows how external collaborations (and internal alignment) drive revenue.

6. Driving better prioritization

RevOps drives intelligent prioritization of strategic initiatives. 

With an ELG lens, RevOps can forecast initiative success by factoring in ecosystem dynamics, such as key partners and warm introductions. By leveraging ecosystem intel, RevOps ensures resources are focused on initiatives with the highest impact on revenue growth.
