    In this episode of RevOps Champions, host Brendon Dennewill talks with Hayden Stafford, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Seismic. Drawing on 25+years leading go-to market teams at Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM, and Pegasystems, Hayden explains why modern growth depends on a "well-plumbed" revenue system, where sales, success, support, partners, and service operate as one connected engine.  Hayden reframes enablement as the strategic translation layer that turns boardroom strategy into frontline execution with the right context, content, and coaching inside the flow of work. The conversation also tackles market downturn readiness, the CFO/CRO tension, and the importance of leading indicators, and a pragmatic view of AI adoption.  What You'll Learn How revenue strategy and revenue systems work together to drive resultsWhy enablement is a cross-functional translation layer, not just trainingWhat it means for RevOps to move from reporting outcomes to surfacing signalsWhere AI delivers the most value when embedded in daily workflowsThe first alignment levers CROs should focus onHow to recognize when AI adoption stalls before impact shows upResources Mentioned SeismicSatya Nadella Microsoft Dynamics 365 Salesforce AgentforceMicrosoft CopilotIs your business ready to scale?

    104 | Beyond Random Acts: Building a Scalable Marketing Operating System | Jennifer Zick

    In this episode of RevOps Champions, host Brendon Dennewill talks with Jennifer Zick, CEO of Authentic and creator of the Authentic Growth Marketing Operating System. With 25+ years in B2B marketing across startups, PE-backed companies, and global organizations, Jennifer unpacks the predictable pattern she’s seen as companies scale: founder-led, sales-driven growth eventually leaves behind a trail of “random acts of marketing.” Jennifer explains the “little marketing vs. big marketing” shift, where marketing stops being a sidecar to sales and becomes a strategic, leadership-aligned growth discipline across the full customer lifecycle. The conversation covers why marketing often lacks the right seat in the organization chart, how RevOps becomes the glue for execution and measurement, and why fractional leadership is evolving into a long-term operating model, especially as AI improves tactical efficiency without replacing executive judgment. This episode is essential listening for CEOs, revenue leaders, CMOs, and RevOps professionals who want more predictable growth, clearer ROI, and a scalable marketing system that supports acquisition, retention, and valuation over time.  What You’ll Learn The growth lifecycle shift: founder-led → sales-driven → go-to-market strategicLittle marketing vs. big marketingThe evolution of fractional CMOs from a temporary “bridge” to a long-term operating model Why RevOps/Marketing ops acts as the connective tissueThe predictability mindsetThe measurement ecosystem beyond CAC/LTVResources Mentioned Authentic Growth Marketing Operating SystemRandom Acts of Marketing AssessmentFractional is ForeverBow Tie / “Flipped FunnelThe E-MythIs your business ready to scale?

    103 | AI in RevOps: Where Automation Works and Where People Still Win | Peter Fuller

    In this episode of RevOps Champions, host Brendon Dennewill sits down with Peter Fuller, Founder of Workflow Academy and a leading expert in revenue operations, CRM systems, and workflow automation. Peter shares his unconventional path from studying Russian literature to building a RevOps consultancy and training ecosystem, and why the “human” side of RevOps will only become more important as AI adoption accelerates. Peter breaks down the three pillars he teaches (ask better questions in plain English, “measure twice cut once” with clear scoping, and only then build), and explains why most AI initiatives fail: not because the tools don’t work, but because leaders chase hype instead of focused, high-ROI use cases. He offers a practical approach for 2026: empower your internal tinkerer, carve out time, and prove ROI on one micro-solution before turning AI into a company-wide strategy. The conversation is a grounded, refreshingly contrarian take on where AI actually helps RevOps teams today, especially in reporting, dashboards, SQL, and automation, without sacrificing relationships, trust, and real human context. This episode is essential listening for RevOps leaders, operators, and executives who want to cut through AI noise, prioritize what matters, and deploy automation in ways that genuinely improve performance without distracting the business. What You’ll Learn Where AI is creating real leverage in RevOps today, and where it quietly falls shortWhy the most critical parts of RevOps still depend on human judgment and trustA simple framework for approaching RevOps work without jumping straight to toolsHow to experiment with AI in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes learningHow to separate real opportunity from AI hype and vendor-driven urgencyWhat leaders should prioritize in 2026 to explore AI without derailing core operationsResources Mentioned Cerebro AnalyticsLovableMoon Knox ChatGPTClaudeWorkflow AcademyAspireshipZohoIs your business ready to scale?
