Episode #140 What $40M Companies Get Completely Wrong About RevOps

Are you treating RevOps as a cost center instead of a massive revenue multiplier? In this episode of Bridge the Gap, we sit down with Brendan Tolleson, CEO and Co-Founder of RevPartners, to break down why so many scaling companies get go-to-market operations completely wrong.  Even at the $40M ARR mark, businesses are still running on spreadsheets and trying to force growth by simply throwing more sales reps at broken systems.
