Revenue operations

A simple system to run complex go-to-market processes

Revenue operations as a service, so deals progress, forecasts hold up, and growth stops depending on you.
Confident decisions
A trusted pipeline
Predictable growth

Sales does sales. Marketing does marketing.

It works at small scale, then quietly stops working as you grow.

In smaller businesses, the owner is the connection, overseeing both teams, holding the message in their head. As you grow, that breaks. Each function keeps doing its own work, but nothing joins them. The only real handover is when a lead arrives.

  • buyers hear two different stories from sales and marketing

  • sales doesn’t use what marketing produces

  • the pipeline reflects activity, not real progress

  • leadership ends up brokering between the two

At this point, the issue isn’t effort. It’s that no one owns the system joining them up.

Where sales and marketing quietly come apart

Most teams don’t notice one big break. They notice cracks start to form. Places where effort goes up, progress doesn’t, and confidence slips.

Story & Positioning

Sales, marketing, and the website explain what you do in three different ways.

Demand Capture

Leads arrive, but routing and qualification lose the ones that mattered.

Sales Process

Deal stages reflect rep optimism, not how buyers actually decide.

Operating Rhythm

Leadership reconciles numbers instead of acting on them.

These aren’t failures, they’re signals

They’re signs your commercial function has outgrown its setup, not that your team is doing anything wrong.

Revenue operations is the layer that joins them

Not a tool. Not a methodology.

It’s the structure that holds your commercial function together — a shared message both teams use, pipeline definitions both teams agree on, HubSpot configured around how deals really move, and reporting that gives leadership one view.

We design it around how your business sells, build it into HubSpot, and run it as a service. The team that designs it is the team that runs it.

Revenue Factory - Six parts. One system.

Revenue Factory brings six parts of your go-to-market into alignment. Not as steps to follow, but as parts of a single system that strengthen each other over time.

The Story

How you explain what you do, used by sales, marketing, and the website.

The Buyer Experience

Your website and digital touchpoints, preparing buyers before sales gets involved.

The Demand Engine

Marketing produces activity, not a system — so leads arrive without context, scoring, or routing.

The Sales Process

Deal stages and guidance built around how buyers actually decide.

The Revenue Backbone

The platform running your commercial operations, set up around how you sell.

The Operating Rhythm

The cadence that keeps leadership aligned and the system honest.

How an engagement actually progresses

Step 1

Diagnose

Two weeks. Before we touch anything.
  •  stakeholder interviews across sales, marketing, operations, and leadership

  • HubSpot audit, data review, and pipeline reality check

  • a written diagnostic separating what’s losing you revenue today from what needs rebuilding underneath

  • agreed scope, and what’s deliberately out of scope

Step 2

Stabilise

Four to six weeks. Fix what’s losing you revenue today.
  • the highest-value commercial fix surfaced in the diagnosis — every engagement starts somewhere different

  • often pipeline hygiene, qualification, or a broken handoff between marketing and sales

  • sometimes a HubSpot setup misreporting reality, or a conversion gap on the website

  • the brief is always the same: stop the bleeding before adding anything new

Step 3

Build

Eight to twelve weeks. Put the underlying system in.
  • the components that prevent the same problems coming back — usually starting with The Story and The Revenue Backbone

  • The Buyer Experience and Demand Engine, designed around how buyers actually decide

  • The Sales Process, with stages that reflect buyer decisions rather than internal milestones

  • handover with documentation, training, and one named owner on your side

Step 4

Operate

Ongoing. A senior team running the layer day to day.
  • pipeline hygiene and qualification reviews - what’s real, what’s stalled, what’s leaking

  • sales asset performance - what reps actually use, what’s failing, what’s missing

  • HubSpot integrity - automations holding, data clean, dashboards you can trust

  • deal friction patterns - what’s slowing deals, what objections keep coming up
    campaign-to-sales feedback — what marketing is producing, how it’s landing

Step 5

Rhythm

Quarterly. The only part of the engagement that grades itself.
  • velocity, conversion, and forecast accuracy tracked monthly, reviewed quarterly

  • a structured business review with leadership, not a status update

  • priorities reset for the next quarter based on what the data shows

  • the operating model adjusted as the business changes

What changes when the system is doing the work

The same business, running differently.

Today, the leadership team absorbs the shocks. Sales and marketing run on parallel tracks. Pipeline numbers need explaining before anyone trusts them, new hires take months to find their feet, and growth feels like a fight.

With the operating layer in place, that inverts. Leadership works at a strategic level. Sales and marketing run as one commercial function. Pipeline numbers hold up under scrutiny, new hires slot into a working system, and growth feels like the system doing its job.

What to do next

1

Talk it through

Book a short diagnostic to work out what’s getting in the way, and where to start.
2

Fix what’s losing revenue

We stabilise the most urgent problem first, then build the system underneath it.
3

Let the system run

A senior team runs it day to day, and growth stops feeling like a fight.
