B2B SaaS RevOps topics
Revenue operations is a set of shared questions: what counts as a qualified lead, which marketing produced the pipeline, what will close this quarter and what it all cost. Each topic page answers one of them, with platform rules from the platform's own documentation and numbers from named sources.

| Topic | The short answer | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue operations | RevOps runs the CRM, the funnel definitions and the reports that marketing, sales and customer success share. | List every number the board sees and name the system and the rule behind each one. |
| Funnel stages | Lead, marketing-qualified lead, sales-qualified lead, opportunity and customer, each with one written rule and one owner. | Write down the entry rule for each stage and check ten recent records against it. |
| Attribution | A multi-touch model for reporting, used the same way every month. Consistency matters more than the model. | Check that every deal is linked to a contact with a known source before choosing any model. |
| Ad spend to revenue | Store the click ID with each lead, send qualified CRM stages back to the ad platform and report cost per SQL. | Click a live ad, submit the form and check that the CRM record shows the click ID. |
| Forecasting | Combine a rep call by forecast category with a weighted pipeline built from stage probabilities, and compare them. | Pull last year's closed deals and work out what share of each stage actually closed. |
| SaaS metrics | Growth, retention, spend as a share of ARR and payback, each from the CRM and the books, defined the same way every quarter. | Write one line per metric: its formula, its data source and who owns it. |
