Top 5 RevOps Challenges (And How AI Saves the Day)

October 10, 2024

Let’s be honest: Revenue Operations (RevOps) is tough. You’re juggling sales, marketing, customer success, data, and more, all while trying to keep every team aligned like a perfectly choreographed dance. 

But in reality? Revenue Operations can feel more like a chaotic mosh pit. The good news? We’re no longer living in the era of stone tablets (or endless Excel spreadsheets). Enter AI—a game-changer for RevOps that swoops in like a superhero to solve your most pressing challenges.

According to a study by Workato,  Revenue Operations teams have been the quickest to adopt generative AI across their processes, at a staggering 48% of use cases. And this is no surprise. Stay with us to know why.

In this blog, we’re diving into the top 5 RevOps challenges that AI can tackle. Because, trust me, nobody wants to spend their day manually updating CRMs or hunting down notes from sales calls.

Top 5 RevOps Challenges, With & Without AI

RevOps Challenge 1. Manual Data Entry and CRM Hygiene (Or, “Why is My CRM Always a Mess?”)

The bane of every sales rep's existence—data entry. We’ve all been there, staring at a CRM dashboard full of half-empty fields and outdated information. Not only is manual data entry mind-numbingly tedious, but it's also prone to errors. Research shows that sales reps spend less than 30% of their time on actual selling. An 18% of the chunk typically goes into CRM data entry.  That’s nearly a full day every week spent on mundane tasks instead of, you know, actually selling.

Why It Hurts: Poor CRM hygiene leads to misaligned forecasts, missed opportunities, and sales pipelines that resemble more of a guessing game than a strategy.

Enter, AI for RevOps

Here’s where AI swoops in like a superhero. Modern AI models are capable of summarizing entire deals on the CRM, automatically capturing key insights from sales calls, emails, and interactions. Ultimately, this results in no siloed insights and far more effective (and automated) CRM data. 

No more copying and pasting notes from one tool to another or trying to remember what was discussed three calls ago.

The Result: Not only does this automation save your reps 45-60 minutes of manual note-taking every day, but it also keeps your CRM clean, updated, and ready for action. So, the next time you open your CRM, it’s a goldmine of useful information—not a minefield of missing data.

RevOps Challenge 2. Inconsistent Sales Follow-Ups (The “Oops, I Forgot to Follow Up” Problem)

You nailed the sales call, built a connection, and discussed the next steps. But then…crickets. Sales reps often miss follow-ups because of disorganization, bandwidth issues, or simply forgetting. (Let’s face it, we’re only human!) 

According to InsideSales.com, 50% of sales happen after the 5th touchpoint, yet most reps give up after just 2. Missed follow-ups mean missed opportunities, leading to deals slipping through the cracks.

Enter, AI for RevOps

Modern AI models don't just take notes. They actively listen. They are equipped to identify key action items, customer concerns, and next steps during sales calls. After the call ends, AI tools can generate personalized follow-up emails and reminders, ensuring every prospect is nurtured at the right time. 

Or even better, AI models can now write context-aware, hyper-personalized follow up emails that clone the seller’s voice.

RevOps Challenge 3. Misalignment Between Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success Teams (AKA, “Lost in Translation”)

You’ve probably seen this movie before: Sales says one thing, marketing spins it another way, and customer success is left scrambling to figure out what the customer actually wants. Misalignment between teams leads to a fragmented customer journey, mixed messages, and ultimately, lost revenue.

RevOps Challenge 4. Ineffective Sales Call Analysis (Ahem, “Do We Really Have to Listen to the Whole Call Again?”)

RevOps Challenge 5. Forecasting and Pipeline Inaccuracies (Or, “Why Do Our Forecasts Always Feel Like a Shot in the Dark?”)

Without accurate data on customer interactions, sales forecasting is more like fortune-telling than strategy. RevOps teams struggle with incomplete deal information, leading to inaccuracies in pipeline visibility and misaligned revenue projections.
