The Marketing Phoenix Podcast

RevOps, CRMs & Lead Qualification

RPC Strategies LLC Season 2 Episode 8

RevOps = Predictable Revenue & Scalable Success

Companies that fully integrate marketing & revenue operations see a 25% increase in qualified leads and a 50%+ inbound deal rate!

In this episode of The Marketing Phoenix Podcast, host Melissa "Rogo" Rogozinski talks with Jon McGinley, President of CLIMB Marketing, Sales & Advisory Services, about why RevOps is the foundation of predictable revenue.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why marketing & revenue operations must be fully integrated—not just aligned.
  • The difference between marketing ops & RevOps (and why you need both).
  • How tech stacks & CRM setups impact lead qualification & sales.
  • Why structure beats effort when scaling sales & marketing teams.

Melissa and Jon also reveal how RPC Strategies helped a B2B legal tech company clean up its chaotic lead generation system, structure its CRM, and increase qualified leads & close rates, leading to a successful acquisition in 2022.

Bonus: A fun football-themed segment, Jon gives his Super Bowl LIX predictions, Melissa shares her favorite Super Bowl half-time performance, and they decide what position Canada’s national animal—the beaver - would play!

Key Takeaways:

  • Silos kill revenue—true RevOps integration aligns data, processes & teams.
  • Clean, structured data wins deals before sales even starts.
  • Seamless lead handoff between marketing & sales is essential.
  • Tech stacks don’t fix strategy—processes do.
  • Tracking the right KPIs (MQLs, SQLs, close rates) drives growth.
