The hidden AI opportunities accelerating GTM from quote-to-revenue

Dealhub.io

AI isn’t just for top-of-funnel anymore. DealHub argues the real edge sits in the quote-to-revenue layer, where pricing, approvals, contracts, and buyer collaboration still run on manual, fragmented workflows. Their INBOUND 2025 talk (by CPO Eyal Orgil) reframes RevOps’ AI focus from “content and outreach” to “commercial data and decisions.”

What it covers: the “AI gaps” RevOps misses, four levers (Revenue Insights, Quote Optimization, Contract Risk, Buyer Collaboration), and a readiness framework to move from experiments to impact. Expect specifics like guardrailed discounting, approval pathing, and connecting legal terms to commercial context.

Why it’s worth your time: If your pipeline looks healthy but revenue slips at approval, pricing, or legal, this piece shows where AI can lock value back in. Read the full article.

 

What Are Salesforce Native Apps

Revenue.io

Do you really need another “integrated” tool, or should you keep everything inside Salesforce? This guide clarifies what “native” means (data, security, UI, and automation all within Salesforce) and why 2025’s best-performing RevOps stacks are tightening around it.

- Clear comparison table: native vs. non-native (storage, compliance, maintenance, real-time updates).
- Where AI fits when models sit on CRM-grade data (forecasts, next-best actions, call insights) without sync headaches.
- Practical buyer tips: verify true-native claims, pilot with a small cohort, sanity-check AppExchange reviews.

Fewer sync failures, tighter governance, faster adoption, and a simpler path to AI. Read the full guide here.

 

What Wolves Can Teach Us About Sales Team Dynamics

LeapTree

Forget the “lone wolf.” This smart metaphor maps pack dynamics, role clarity, over-communication, fairness-driven loyalty, onto modern sales orgs, with crisp RevOps takeaways (comp rules, micro-coaching, and lifting the middle to move the number).

The narrative lands because it ties culture to mechanics: quotas, SPIFs, feedback rituals, and dashboards that keep the pack coordinated under pressure.

Why read? A quick reframing you can translate into territory design and incentive hygiene this quarter. Read the article

Breaking Open the Pipeline Black Box in GTM

GTM Live

Why do smart teams still fly blind at the most critical stage of revenue creation? Hosts unpack the “pipeline black box,” shifting leaders from gut-feel to shared visibility, and dissolve the cross-functional blame game in the process.

Highlights include: why more tools ≠ more clarity, the real cost of poor data architecture, and how systematic visibility changes exec decision-making. 58 minutes, published September 1, 2025.

Takeaway: If handoff arguments persist, you likely have a visibility problem, not a people problem. Listen on Apple Podcasts.

The hidden power of delivery: connecting operations to revenue [Webinar]

Ink Innovation

What if every operational event—from a seat change to baggage handling—could become structured, monetizable data? This session brings together airline leaders to show how delivery isn’t just execution, but the missing link between initial sale and revenue accounting.

The workshop explores how to capture and monetize operational events, position delivery as a driver of revenue rather than a cost center, and uncover new pathways for airlines to grow profit. It reframes operations from back-office necessity into a strategic revenue lever.

For RevOps and operations leaders alike, the value lies in rethinking how day-to-day delivery feeds financial outcomes. Join the workshop here.
