RevOps for Finance Businesses - Quantum FS Case Study
Because theory is not enough...
Quantum Financial Strategies - overview of business information
Preliminary Note
While there is a lot of theory around RevOps, it's very important to take a step further and take a look at representative examples to understand the real value of this strategy.
This is the case of Quantum FS. Don't Google its name, you won't find it. It would be weird to show here a real case scenario 🫠... the purpose of this Blog is not to show how to set up operations and processes of a Finance company. The Mission of this Blog is to help, providing Representative Case Studies that exemplify the enormous benefit that RevOps can bring to businesses in this industry to exponentially increase their revenues.
Enjoy it!

I. - Process Mapping: Present State
At Quantum FS they knew well how, what for and why they were doing their processes. After all, they are now a major player in Montreal's finance industry.
However, they lacked a synthesized view of their operations and processes. By creating this process map we have been able to identify frictions, bottlenecks and excellent optimization opportunities to do the same, but with more and better, using fewer resources.
We have also identified opportunities to expand lead generation opportunities and improve the quality of communication with leads through automated and personalized ways.

III. - Reporting and Dashboards Examples
IIn this section, our focus is on demonstrating the performance and value of RevOps efforts, rather than creating reports and dashboards with every single KPI of each operational area such as Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service. We will focus on metrics that are meaningful to the revenue growth goals and to the business expectations when starting with RevOps.
For example, we'll only discuss the monthly organic traffic increase in this section if it was a primary goal with direct impact on revenue growth. Otherwise, we will leave this metric in another place, such as the web analytics dashboard reports.
You can also check other examples of RevOps applied to the finance and insurance industry.
NOTE: Part of the resources and methods used here are partially based in the materials offered at the HubSpot Academy's RevOps Bootcamp (first edition, Winter 2023). As I always say whenever I have the chance: this training, more than a bootcamp, it was a boostcamp for me. It has shown me so much and changed so much the way I approach RevOps!
