The RevOps work out there is mind-blowing
Every day, RevOps pros dive head-first into the details. Data hygiene, forecasting, slipped deal reduction, seller productivity, and more.
They deserve some major recognition. That’s why Clari launched the first annual RevOps Awards to celebrate standout performances.
We asked for nominations. And you delivered.
What. A. List. We’re excited that so many peers giving their RevOps colleagues the recognition they deserve.
Across the board, RevOps pros are stepping up with innovative solutions and (frankly) brilliant tactics. It was tough to narrow this amazing list of nominees down. And this is only our first year hosting this award. We can’t wait to see what future nominations (and RevOps pros) bring.
Without any further ado
Here are the winners of our first Annual RevOps Awards. Congratulations!
