The Modern BizOps Learning Library
Every guide we have published, grouped so you can find the one that matches the problem in front of you.
These pages are the written version of the work. They are free and they take no email address. A founder deciding what to fix first should be able to read the reasoning before talking to anybody.
Revenue Operations
The vocabulary and the benchmarks. Start here if you want the concepts before the framework.
Fractional COO
What the job actually involves day to day, and what it costs. Also the case for not hiring one at all.
Marketing and Sales Alignment
One written definition of a qualified lead, a handoff both sides honor, and an SLA with teeth. The founder-sized version of marketing and sales alignment.
What Is RevOps?
RevOps is the discipline of running marketing, sales, and service as one revenue machine. What it is, whether your business needs it, and where to start.
Revenue Per Employee
Benchmarks by industry, and the ways this formula gets computed wrong. Then how to move the number without cutting people.
Smarketing
Smarketing means sales and marketing run as one team with one scoreboard. What the term means, why the usual version fails, and the founder-sized way to build it.
MQL to SQL Conversion Rate
The MQL to SQL conversion rate averages around 13%. The formula, the benchmarks, and how to read your number as a diagnosis of where marketing-to-sales breaks.
Involuntary Churn
Customers who wanted to stay and lost a card. What causes it, how big a share of your churn it is, and how to win it back with the billing tool you already pay for.
Fractional COO Cost
Four ways to fix operations, compared at what each one actually costs a month. A fractional COO is only one of them.
GTM Maturity Framework
The four stages and the competencies each one rests on. The whole framework lives on a single page. See the framework.
Stage 1: Reactive Revenue Operations
The stage where growth still runs through you personally. What it costs you, and the six competencies that get a business out of it.
CRM Architecture and Governance
How to lay out objects, fields and required data so your team stops working around the CRM. Retraining is what most people try first, and it is why the mess comes back.
Pipeline Stage Design
Stages named after what the buyer has done, with exit criteria a rep cannot argue with. This is the fix for a forecast nobody trusts.
Ideal Customer Profile
The criteria that let your team disqualify a bad fit before the first call, written down once so everybody applies the same ones.
Revenue Lifecycle Design
What happens between a good demo and a signed contract, mapped end to end. That stretch is where a deal that looked good goes quiet.
Data Quality Management
Whose number is right, settled once. Field ownership, required data, and a cleanup cadence that keeps it settled.
Lead Qualification Framework
The bar a lead has to clear before a rep picks up the phone, agreed by both teams, plus what happens to the ones that do not clear it.
Net Revenue Retention
One number that tells you what your revenue would do if you never signed another client. Under 100 percent means the base is shrinking under you.
Win/Loss Analysis
Win/loss analysis is asking buyers why deals were really won or lost. Why your CRM's closed-lost data lies, and the founder-sized version that needs no program.
Customer Retention Strategy
Measure retention in dollars and the picture changes. Where the leaks sit, and which one to close first.
Reduce Customer Churn
Most churn is decided months before the cancellation. How to reduce customer churn by catching at-risk accounts early, measuring it in revenue, and fixing the root cause.
Payment Recovery
Payment recovery for B2B: the difference between dunning and debt collection, what your billing platform already does, and when recovery software is actually worth it.
Customer Lifecycle Marketing
What to build after the sale closes: onboarding to first value, expansion, renewal and advocacy, and which one to build first.
Conversion Rate Optimization
Where a B2B pipeline actually leaks, and why testing the landing page rarely moves the number.
AI for Revenue Operations
Where AI actually earns its keep in a smaller business, and which tools are worth paying for.
AI for Small Business
AI for small business, minus the hype. What actually works once you have real customers and revenue, why fundamentals come first, and one move to run this week.
AI Tools for Small Business
An AI stack organized by the revenue job each tool does, with the honest monthly cost of each and a DIY track built on software you already pay for.
