If you've googled something to the effect of "how to dedupe opportunities in salesforce" or "sales development playbook", then you know the pain of trying to find answers to tough RevOps questions.
Many turn to their fabled search engine, help docs, and forums for answers. But sometimes, these tactics turn up less than helpful results. In these instances, it can be best to phone a friend.
But who to call? You could turn to your former colleague who also works in RevOps. You haven't talked in a few years though and you didn't congratulate him on LinkedIn when he got that new promotion.
Nah, don't do that. Join a community instead. Many RevOps communities have thousands of RevOps pros like you looking to answer similar questions. You can see what they're working on, get help, and share your knowledge.
Here are the top communities:
1. Wizards of Ops
Wizards of Ops (aka WizOps) is a 100% free slack community for operations professionals to gather, question, and share their expertise. The community boasts 3,700 members from over 2,500 companies. It includes job postings, educational opportunities, and networking events.
