Like most RevOps leaders, Mike Rizzoâs path to the top spot took an unexpected turn from an early start in digital marketing creating newsletters and field marketing to handling site migrations and other forms of revenue technology. âI was basically trafficking ads on an ad server and learning about pixels and retargeting, experimenting with different display ads,â Mike said. âThatâs when I fell in love with the whole concept of marketing and sales tech.â
What started as a need to wear multiple hats to help grow a business evolved into a powerfully diverse knowledge base that redefines what we need from marketing operations today.
During this episode of Go To Market with Dr. Amy Cook, Mike defends his evolutionary definition of todayâs marketing Ops, and why a RevOps leader with expertise in executing, marketing, and marketing operations and the tech stack reinforces the most pivotal role in GTM.

Do you ever feel like you're making significant decisions without a clear picture of what's driving revenue? You're not alone. With data spread across marketing, sales, and customer success, connecting the dots can feel overwhelming. That's where accurate attribution makes all the difference.
AI-powered analytics and real-time data have transformed attribution from a guessing game into a strategic advantage. By tracking every touchpointâfrom marketing campaigns to sales interactions and customer success engagementsâRevOps leaders can pinpoint what's working, allocate resources more effectively, and refine forecasting with confidence.
As Doug Topken, Head of Global CRM and Customer Data at Ingredion Incorporated, shared on Go to Market with Dr. Amy Cook, âWe've all been practicing this forever, since the beginning of our careers, but it wasn't called RevOps, and it wasn't well orchestrated. âSo now we're seeing a move toward orchestration and a recognition that orchestration is not only necessary, but it is the best path toward revenue growth.â
This closed-loop approach doesn't just improve efficiencyâit builds a scalable, predictable revenue engine, positioning RevOps as the true conductor of growth.
In this episode, Doug and Amy explore how AI, better collaboration, and innovative thinking are shaping the future of go-to-market strategyâand how curiosity plays a key role in staying ahead.

Nick Robin knows how to build effective revenue operations models.
Although there is a pattern of give-and-take in most RevOps models, Nick says some areas are non-negotiable. For example, emotional intelligence and centralized go-to-market operations functions. Here's another:
"I firmly believe that comp design should be a function within revenue operations," he says in the latest episode of Go to Market with Dr. Amy Cook. "That's one of the most strategic levers you have at your disposal as a go to market organization to drive behavior and to drive change in an organization. And I fundamentally believe that if you look at revenue operations and what you're trying to use it for, is overall optimizing how I go to market, how I generate revenue, and how quickly I can do that as efficiently as possible."
Simply calling something "RevOps" doesn't make it effective. Nick's expertise illustrates that true RevOps success comes from a thoughtful and strategic approach to identifying which GTM operations functions should be centralized for maximum efficiency.
Without this analysis, teams risk adding complexity instead of solving it. To truly unlock the power of RevOps, organizations must go beyond adoption and into strategic alignmentâbecause when RevOps is done right, it doesn't just support revenue growth; it transforms it.

Building a truly great team isnât just about individual talentâitâs about alignment. When everyone is rowing in the same direction, the organization moves faster, more efficiently, and with greater impact.
âI think the difference between great teams and average teams is the degree to which everybody is rowing in the same direction. If you are rowing in perfect unison, your boat will go faster,â said Clay Blanchard, RevOps expert and sales leader, during this episode of Go-To-Market with Dr. Amy Cook. âI believe it's worth the extra time it takes to maintain a collaborative culture.â
But achieving that level of unity doesnât happen by accident. It requires intentional collaboration, clear communication, and a shared commitment to a common goal.
For Clay, maintaining a collaborative culture comes with a costâtime, effort, and patience. But through his experience working with different companies, he has learned that this investment pays off in a big way. During this discussion he explains that when people feel heard and included in the process, theyâre more likely to buy in, advocate for change, and actively contribute to success. That kind of engagement isnât just nice to haveâitâs essential, especially when tackling significant or difficult changes.
The takeaway? The harder the change, the more critical it is to have true sponsorship and enrollment from those involved. Learn how a well-aligned team doesnât just execute change; they embrace it, drive it, and ensure its long-term success. And thatâs what separates great teams from the rest.

What would your reaction be if your number one sales rep made more cash off their commissions this year than you do?
Is it a sign of a lousy comp plan? Or is it a fantastic idea to motivate sales reps?
For Erik Charles, a leading expert in bridging sales, marketing, and engineering to advance revenue and incentive management, the answer defines a company's vision and growth potential.
"If you're not willing to realize that an incentive plan drives behavior, and if it drives a lot of behavior. You might sell a ton of product, but it just doesn't work," he said. "So that's where I always start."
Building an effective sales compensation plan is both an art and a science. For Erik, it's about balancing your company's goals with the realities of your sales cycle and team dynamics.

In this episode of Go-to-Market with Dr. Amy Cook, Balaji explains why RevOps thrives with a hands-on, balanced formula that emphasizes 40% strategy, 40% operations, and 20% tactical practices.
âOne of the most fulfilling things you can do as a RevOps leader is to connect with the cross section of your RevOps team,â Balaji said. âThat keeps you engaged with what's happening on the ground. Only 40% of our ops should be strategy. The other 60% is operational and tactical. You'll never learn those operational, tactical things if you're not in touch with what's going on.â
To stay in touch, Balaji explains how zoom-in and zoom-out practices are essential for maintaining operational efficiency and team engagement. âFor an operations professional, it's about making the company efficient, regardless of whether you're working with one function to the other,â he said. âAnd the way to do that is to be able to have a conversation with someone, which is zoomed out. At the same time having a conversation with someone who's very zoomed in.â
