Taking the time to establish workflows that fit your business's needs, and being thoughtful in the way you feed your analytics tools with the right data sets and ask the right questions to understand risks and opportunities is critical. I worry sometimes with the breadth and the strength of the tech stock that's emerged, you know, it can make people lazy in some respect in taking a step back and asking the right questions for the business health.” - Joshua Maltz —Time Stamps:**(01:43) - Joshua's unconventional journey into revops **(05:03) - The revops team at Usertesting **(15:53) - RevObstacles**(18:38) - Biggest RevOops moment **(21:04) - The Toolshed **(35:59) - Quick Hits —Sponsor:Rise of RevOps is brought to you by Qualified.
