In this episode of Revenue Architects, we sit down with Jelena Arnold, a revenue operations leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling end-to-end RevOps systems across high-growth B2B SaaS companies.

From marketing to sales to customer success, Jelena’s non-linear journey gives her a unique perspective on what actually makes RevOps work—and more importantly, why most systems fail.

In this conversation, she breaks down why RevOps is less about tools and more about behavior, influence, and adoption.

What you’ll learn:

• Why RevOps is fundamentally an internal sales role—and what that means in practice.
• The real reason systems fail: adoption is a value problem, not a user problem.
• How to drive adoption by working with top performers and creating quick wins.
• Why most forecasting issues come down to misaligned definitions and ownership.
• How to identify true revenue signals (and avoid relying on lagging indicators).
• What “designing for real behavior” looks like vs. ideal processes.
• When companies need to evolve from Sales Ops to full RevOps.
• Why integrity and consistency are critical to scaling your revenue engine.
• How to think about AI in RevOps—and why use cases matter more than tools.
