The role of RevOps and the entire RevOps market has encountered explosive growth over the past couple of years.
In 2020, only 33% of companies had a RevOps function. Today, that number has increased to 48%, and Gartner predicts that 75% of the highest-growth companies will adopt a RevOps model by 2025.
Buyer preferences, behaviors, and rising expectations have driven this trend, making a self-directed and consistent experience throughout the buyer’s journey essential to revenue growth and retention.
RevOps has gained momentum as businesses see its effectiveness. For instance, Forrester research found that organizations that align the people, process, and technology involved in the demand engine experience 36% more revenue growth and up to 28% more profitability.
Also, 21% of companies that introduced a RevOps function saw greater alignment and productivity resulting in an increased operating margin. An additional 13% of businesses experienced better revenue growth after adopting a RevOps model.
The rise of the RevOps market was on full display last year. How has that high continued throughout 2024?

Talk to SalesRevOps Role
RevOps is responsible for aligning the entire revenue team, generating data, and creating visibility into crucial business metrics and processes. Their ultimate goal is driving efficiencies and predictable revenue growth.
In its earliest form, RevOps was intended to break down the silos between sales, marketing, and customer success for a more seamless customer journey and improved customer experience.
As the marketplace continues to evolve it has become a more structured process that changes as a company scales. Establishing and growing a RevOps practice is not a one-size-fits-all process and varies for each organization.
In small companies with less than 10 employees, you may or may not have a RevOps presence. However, by the time you achieve a 10-25% growth rate and approximately 20 employees, you should establish a RevOps role to guide you through this volatile period. This is when you build and refine processes while anticipating opportunities and challenges.
Once you achieve $1 million in revenue with sustained growth rates of 25% or more your RevOps function becomes more strategic. The focus shifts to product-market fit and scaling growth efficiently.
RevOps Market: Technology

Start TrialOther RevOps Trends
As RevOps continues to grow it evolves in response to market changes. Here are some of the latest trends we’ve seen.
A Shift From Growth-At-All-Costs to Retention and Expansion
New business is tougher to acquire. To overcome this challenge, businesses are focusing on customer longevity, retention, cross-sells, and upsells to drive growth. “We focused on top of funnel in 2023. Today, we’re focusing more on identifying expansions and nailing renewals,” Jen Igartua said.
Increasing AI Use
RevOps analyzes a lot of data. AI delivers deeper insights and analytics than a human and in less time.
“At QuotaPath, we’ve used AI to rework our loss and churn reasons. Take all of the emails and notes from your reps across all your opportunities, load it into an AI tool, and it will tell you more about the biggest reasons for lost opportunities,” said VP of RevOps Ryan Milligan.
Cold Outreach is More Targeted
One way of boosting sales efficiency and effectiveness is by targeting prospects that match the ideal customer profile (ICP). Then communications are more relevant to recipients and elicit a better response rate. “Outbound is never dead, but good outbound is hard to keep alive,” Jeff Ignacio said.
Tech Stack ROI is Crucial
Tighter budgets mean every tech platform must prove its worth to remain in the stack. “If you claim your product enables leaders to be more productive, what is the time and dollar savings tied to that?” Daphne said.
Selling to Retainable Customers is a Priority
There’s been a mindset shift. Winning customers used to be the goal. Now, the priority is winning customers who are most likely to renew. Inspire this behavior by incentivizing it. “If you give BDRs $50 for every demo that occurs, give them another $25 if it’s an ICP demo,” Ryan said. “Reward higher commission rates for your sales team if it’s an ICP account.”
