Structuring Effective Sales Ops Functions
Answering Three Burning Questions About Structuring Sales Operations for Success
Here at SellingBrew, we get a number of questions about the organizational structure of effective Sales Ops teams. While we've answered each of these questions individually in a variety of resources and venues, we thought it would also be beneficial...and more convenient for our subscribers...to compile our findings and observations into a single resource. Specifically, this research brief answers three questions that tend to be asked on a fairly regular basis:
- Should Sales Ops be distributed or centralized?
- Where should Sales Ops report to, or up through?
- How should a Sales Ops function be structured?
This research is just one of hundreds of educational resources you get access to as a SellingBrew Playbook subscriber.
