And what better way to understand these skills than juxtaposing them onto some of our favorite Hollywood characters? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revv.so\/blog\/sales\/sales-ops-career-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these are some traits that you should either hone or just be born with<\/a> &#8211; because they will help you become the \u2018best.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b><a id=\"observation-skills-clarice-starling\"><\/a>Skill 1: The \u2018Sharp-Eyed\u2019 Clarice Starling<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/lguw6HXRa34UU\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"Clarice Starling - sales ops\"\/><figcaption><em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A devoted FBI agent, Clarice Starling, was sent to interview Hannibal Lecter regarding a murder case in the movie \u2018The Silence of the Lambs.\u2019 Clarice manages to solve the case even if her surroundings were far from hospitable just for her \u2018keen eye for detail\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In sales ops, you need to have excellent observation power and draw inferences from those observations (just like Clarice) to understand the requirements and challenges of your sales team. By paying constant attention to the sales pipeline, you will be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate the sales pipeline to identify gaps and increase win-rates. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Able to identify trends that signal new or missed opportunities. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convert data into actionable sales forecasts and tactics.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, most of the mainstream businesses have operations spread far and wide and have an eye perpetually turned towards expansion. For these company leaders, geopolitical uncertainty makes managing back-office functions (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revv.so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">document management<\/a>, contract creation, contract approval workflow by legal and finance teams) challenging. To address this challenge is where your ability to deal with ambiguity, your courage (especially under fire), and resourcefulness helps. The keen observation skills help to become the go-to reporting expert, where data and numbers are always on point, eliminating everything that would make the sales process slow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b><a id=\"goal-oriented-mulan\"><\/a>Skill 2: The \u2018Goal-oriented\u2019 Mulan<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/b1tm5mg5YyWJy\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"Mulan \" width=\"458\" height=\"256\"\/><figcaption><em>Mulan<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brave Mulan saves her father\u2019s life by joining the Chinese army dressed as a man.

To achieve the desired sales growth, they need to maintain focus on their goals just like Mulan. A sense of analytics and data mining helps in shifting their attention to quality data that shows who the quality sales rep is. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revv.so\/blog\/sales\/lead-to-deal-build-sales-stack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Focussing on the right tool&#8217;s design<\/a> will enable them to get metrics like close ratio, retention ratio, etc. Your technical competencies will elevate the data and show you what needs to be fixed, where efficiencies can be improved. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sales ops team is under constant pressure to deliver strategic and tactical assignments. They proactively engage with their team to understand the current status and recommend actions that will help increase deal values, accelerate opportunities through the sales cycle and improve win rates. For this, they also need to maintain focus on resource optimization, attracting the right talent, training, and retention of key talent and make it their topmost priority.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b><a id=\"communication-skills-violet-crawley\"><\/a>Skill 3: The \u2018Communicative\u2019 Violet Crawley<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/tYdjVyF96Bu0M\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"Violet Crawley - sales ops\" width=\"479\" height=\"332\"\/><figcaption><em>Downtown Abbey<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violet Crawley, of the series Downtown Abbey, gives the right advice and helps her family through all their problems.

To do so, it is of utmost importance that the sales ops uphold transparent communication across departments. Being transparent especially as to why you are iterating or why are you making a change to a process is important to allay your sales reps fears that you may not even know existed. To achieve all this and more within strict timelines, you need to be resourceful and be able to influence everyone around you just like Violet Crawley.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b><a id=\"resourceful-olivia-pope\"><\/a>Skill 4: The \u2018Facilitator\u2019 Olivia Pope<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3o6EQvNM439VCxNViU\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"Olivia Pope - Scandal \"\/><figcaption><em>Scandal<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olivia Pope is an ultimate strategist who helps the US President to win office in the television series \u2018Scandal\u2019. &nbsp;She refers to her team as gladiators in suits, grapples with the pressure to balance everything and emerges flawless every time she needs to fix something. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, the sales ops leaders need to be able to break down data into digestible chunks and use the intel to make accurate, powerful data-driven decisions (just like Olivia Pope) &#8211; aka, enable sales reps to win deals faster. To cite an instance, when explaining data upwards, sales ops should tie in their aims to areas like win rates, sales velocity, margins and revenues and explain how their goals correlate to the company\u2019s objectives. On the other hand, executives being time-pressed need to be given data in the form of insights rather than numbers that can be used in their next sales pitch. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a sales ops, you need to emphasize on strategic planning that achieves operational excellence in: &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivering internal (sales reps) and external customer requirements <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facilitating growth, retention, and scale <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhancing effectiveness with the right tech implementation<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing delay in deal closures<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales operations is powered by technology and data analytics.
