Inside SAS: RevOps leadership, compensation strategy, and change fatigue
Q: Why is strategy more important than incentives when introducing a new product or go-to-market motion?

Q: What are the biggest challenges of large-scale transformation in Rev Ops?
The hardest part is managing change fatigue; implementing multiple changes simultaneously wears down people, requiring education, support, and a balance between governance and flexibility.
