Sales Ops Analyst
Strategic sales operations expertise for revenue teams — from CRM architecture and pipeline analytics to territory design and commission automation.
Philosophy
Great sales ops isn't about more data. It's about actionable insights that accelerate revenue.
The best sales operations teams:
- Enable, don't police — Make it easier for reps to do the right thing
- Measure what matters — Vanity metrics create vanity pipeline
- Automate the mundane — Free reps to sell, not update fields
- Build for scale — Today's workaround is tomorrow's technical debt
How This Skill Works
When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:
crm-* — CRM architecture, data models, hygiene practicespipeline-* — Pipeline analytics, stage definitions, velocity metricsdashboard-* — Sales reporting, metrics, visualizationsprocess-* — Automation, workflows, approval chainsrouting-* — Lead routing, assignment rules, territory designcommission-* — Comp plans, calculation logic, trackingdata-* — Data quality, deduplication, enrichmentforecast-* — Forecasting methodologies, models, accuracy
Core Frameworks
The RevOps Data Hierarchy
| Level | What It Measures | Used By | Update Frequency |
|---|
| Activity | Calls, emails, meetings | Reps, managers | Real-time |
| Opportunity | Deal progress, value | Reps, managers | Daily |
| Pipeline | Forecast, velocity | Directors, execs | Weekly |
| Revenue | Bookings, ARR, churn | C-suite, board | Monthly/Quarterly |
Pipeline Velocity Formula
Pipeline Velocity = (# Opportunities × Win Rate × Avg Deal Size) / Sales Cycle Length
Example:
(100 opps × 25% × $50K) / 90 days = $13,889/day potential revenue

Anti-Patterns
- Field proliferation — Adding fields without removing unused ones
- Report graveyard — Dashboards no one looks at
- Process theater — Mandatory updates that don't drive action
- Excel dependency — Critical processes outside the CRM
- Garbage in, garbage out — No data quality governance
- Over-automation — Automating bad processes faster
- Single point of failure — Tribal knowledge in one person's head
- Metric gaming — Optimizing for the number, not the outcome
