The reality for most B2B organizations is that go-to-market teams—marketing, sales, customer success—are still operating in silos, creating inefficiencies that hurt pipeline conversion and customer experience. RevOps is the unlock. Today we’re digging into how RevOps has become the critical, behind-the-scenes growth driver for today’s B2B enterprises. When executed well, it transforms disconnected technology, data, and processes into a well-orchestrated system that ensures the right signals reach the right people at the right time.

But implementing RevOps isn’t just about adding a new role or department—it’s about enabling your entire revenue organization to work as one. Companies that successfully move beyond RevOps curiosity to capability build what Evan Liang calls a “coalition of the willing,” aligning leaders across departments around shared goals and a unified tech and data strategy. This approach not only reduces friction between teams but also eliminates wasted effort—whether it’s lost leads, duplicated outreach, or missed opportunities to engage key decision-makers in a buying group. And the result? A smarter, more efficient revenue engine that drives better growth outcomes with less waste.

To help break it all down, we’re joined by Evan Liang, CEO and co-founder of LeanData. Evan has spent over a decade helping B2B organizations master revenue orchestration, moving beyond outdated MQL-based models to a more intelligent, signal-driven approach. In this conversation, he shares the key trends shaping RevOps today, the biggest mistakes companies make when structuring their revenue teams, and why RevOps leaders are becoming the future CROs.

When companies feel the pressure to hit revenue growth goals, leadership often finds itself at a crossroads: deliver short-term results or focus on building long-term team trust and accountability. But what if the two aren’t at odds? In today’s world of hybrid work, top talent has endless opportunities—and keeping them engaged, productive, and motivated requires more than quotas and KPIs. It requires leadership that blends accountability with empathy.

Consistent, empathetic leadership isn’t about being “soft”—it’s about making the work personal, holding individuals to clear performance expectations, and building an environment where high performers thrive. Addressing underperformance, fostering trust, and connecting a team member’s personal goals to business outcomes are all part of creating a winning culture. The cost of losing top talent—financially and culturally—can be staggering, and smart leaders understand that retaining top performers and reducing friction in their roles is critical to achieving growth.

Helen Fanucci, a seasoned leader with over 25 years of experience managing high-performing sales teams at tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and IBM, joins us to share the practical strategies behind empathetic leadership. From setting outcome-based performance expectations to managing difficult conversations with underperformers and high achievers alike, Helen’s approach turns leadership theory into actionable practices. Tune in to hear how clear communication, accountability, and care can drive stronger team performance—and measurable revenue impact.
