### [Why 52% of New Revenue Now Comes From Existing Customers \[Podcast\]](https://podcasts.apple.com/ar/podcast/why-52-of-new-revenue-now-comes-from-existing/id1456593637?i=1000730972505)

[By: The Revenue Insight Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ar/podcast/the-revenue-insights-podcast/id1456593637)

More than half of new revenue now comes from existing customers and that shift is redefining how RevOps leaders approach growth. Ben O’Mathuin shares how this change impacts alignment, coaching, and long-term value creation:

\- Aligning sales and customer success around shared expansion goals.  
\- Coaching post-sales teams to identify and pursue upsell opportunities.  
\- Engaging the C-suite to deepen relationships and drive business outcomes.  
\- Turning customer success from a retention metric into a true revenue engine.

The episode offers a fresh look at what happens when customer success becomes the front line of growth and how RevOps can turn every renewal into the start of a new deal.

### [Why your MQLs Aren't Converting \[Podcast\]](https://podcasts.apple.com/ar/podcast/why-your-mqls-arent-converting/id1619571311?i=1000732368764)

[By: GTM Science - A show for GTM and RevOps leaders](https://podcasts.apple.com/ar/podcast/gtm-science-a-show-for-gtm-and-revops-leaders/id1619571311)

Why do so many Marketing Qualified Leads look great on paper but fail to turn into real revenue? This episode dives into the core reasons behind that gap, from unclear lead definitions and inconsistent follow-up processes to poor handoff between marketing and sales. It explores how tightening SLAs, improving segmentation by intent and customer fit, and adding operational accountability can dramatically increase conversion rates.

It’s a sharp reminder that success isn’t about generating more leads, but about creating the right structure to move them efficiently through the funnel.
