- [The Best Automation Strategy in RevOps? Do Less: A Practical Guide to Deleting, Streamlining, and Then Automating](https://nochfirst.com/2025/01/the-best-automation-strategy-in-revops-do-less-a-practical-guide-to-deleting-streamlining-and-then-automating/): We’ve all been there: your task list is overflowing, your calendar is a Tetris board of meetings, and your productivity apps are sending you more notifications than you can read. You’re busy—but are you effective? In modern revenue organizations, especially in RevOps, SalesOps, and MarketingOps, the temptation is to throw automation at every operational headache. Got too many manual tasks? Automate. Data entry? Automate. CRM updates? Automate. But what if I told you that’s not the best first step? Ask: “Should This Exist?” The most powerful automation strategy isn’t Zapier or HubSpot workflows. It’s subtraction. We’ve been trained to believe […]
- [The Unseen Forces in Your Marketing Workflow: A Field Manual for Managers](https://nochfirst.com/2024/12/marketing-workflow-field-manual-for-managers/): Redefining Control in Marketing Workflows Marketing teams operate in complex environments that require more than basic organization. Execution depends on structure, accountability, and process. Many campaigns fail because of planning breakdowns and misaligned incentives. This guide positions workflow platforms as operational systems for proactive control, not just organizational aids. I. Why Marketing Plans Fail Teams consistently underestimate time and resources. Even experienced teams offer optimistic timelines that overlook legal reviews, asset tweaks, or stakeholder feedback loops. In group settings, pressure to appear aligned and capable often intensifies the problem. Ignoring Past Data The Planning Fallacy: Overconfidence in Timelines Organizations often […]
- [Refactoring Your Sales Compensation Plan to Drive Sales Velocity](https://nochfirst.com/2024/11/rewriting-your-sales-comp-plan/): Is your current sales compensation plan holding your growth back? What if your sales compensation plan isn’t igniting sales, but creating hidden drag, costing you top performers and slowing down your core team? It’s crucial to re-evaluate your approach to sales compensation plans now. On the last Friday of every quarter, David Chen, the VP of Sales at a respectable mid-market software company, finds himself in a familiar, disheartening ritual. He isn’t on the floor closing deals. He’s in a conference room with his Head of Finance, staring at a spreadsheet that feels less like a planning tool and more […]
- [AI and CRM: The Dynamic Duo That’s Changing the RevOps Game](https://nochfirst.com/2024/10/ai-and-crm-the-dynamic-duo-thats-changing-the-revops-game/): Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems have long been the backbone of sales, CX and RevOps, but traditional CRMs have a major problem. They created work and were perceived as a control mechanism for management by sales and cx. Management typically didn’t do a great job of selling why all interactions should be recorded and created a leaky data bucket. Call into most companies and you are bound to get an AI call handling system. Sales might jump to that conclusion on how “helpful” AI can be. To put it another way, it’s adding a clunky AI to an already disconnected […]
- [Siloed to Seamless: Why CROs Need RevOps to Scale](https://nochfirst.com/2024/09/siloed-to-seamless-why-cros-need-revops-to-scale/): Imagine running a relay race where none of the runners have practiced their handoffs. Each runner is fast, individually capable, but when it’s time to pass the baton, they slow down, trip, or miss entirely. The result? They lose the race—not for lack of skill, but because they never synchronized their efforts. This is what happens when revenue-generating teams—sales, marketing, and customer success—operate in silos. In the modern business landscape, where revenue growth relies on the collective performance of these teams, misalignment doesn’t just create inefficiencies—it leaves revenue on the table. For Chief Revenue Officers (CROs), this is where Revenue […]
- [How to Improve Sales Funnel? Client Focus](https://nochfirst.com/2024/08/how-to-improve-sales-funnel-client-focus/): Sales Funnels and Chokepoints Sales meetings often miss the mark. One reason is a lack of clarity in the true purpose of the meeting. One on ones with a sales rep supposedly focused on the sales funnel, typically lean more towards choke points rather than the customer journey. Picture this: A sales manager and rep dissect each stage of their “sales funnel” using CRM data. They look for ways to push prospects through faster, to hit those quotas. But here’s the rub – they’re viewing the process through an internal lens, fixating on their own goals and metrics. What’s missing? […]
- [Put the Customer First with Voice Marketing](https://nochfirst.com/2024/07/put-the-customer-first-with-voice-marketing/): Over 90% of Americans have Asked Siri, Alexa, or said “Hey Google”, on their watch, cell phone, at home or in the car to get an answer in real time. 155 million people listen to at least one podcast a week. How many teens and adults do you see with headphones in their ears all the time? Audio and more specifically voice marketing is huge and surprisingly less talked about than one would expect given the reach. Voice Marketing by Laurence Minsky, Susan Westwater, Scot Westwater, and Colleen Fahey provide a map for this new landscape where there are no […]
