RevOps'd to Death: Rebalancing Efficiency and Empathy to Build a Resilient GTM Engine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276492353)

RevOps Isn't Dying - It's Being Killed. And the murder weapon is efficiency without empathy.

In today's GTM organizations, the systems built to accelerate revenue are now the biggest source of friction. CRMs enforce rigid validation rules that stall deals. Automations override human judgment. Dashboards glow green while the pipeline silently fills with junk data. Teams burnt out by "perfect" workflows retreat into Shadow IT, private Slack channels, and unofficial spreadsheets where the real business context lives.

Welcome to the world of RevOps'd to Death - where technical perfection makes your revenue engine brittle, slow, and shockingly fragile.

In this groundbreaking and deeply human book, Robert M. Coles exposes the paradox at the heart of modern RevOps:

We've automated ourselves out of empathy - and the cost is burnout, distrust, wasted spend, and inaccurate forecasting.

Through sharp insights, real-world anecdotes, and a compelling narrative voice, Coles guides readers on a high-impact journey from diagnosis to transformation:

You'll Learn:
⚡ The Hidden Costs of Over-Optimization - Why mandatory fields, rigid workflows, and hyper-automation create Brittleness by Design - a system that collapses under real-world complexity.
⚡ The Rise of the Workflow Robot - How the pursuit of the Single Source of Truth slowly centralized power in systems, not people - and why your GTM teams are rebelling in silence.
⚡ The Human Toll of Machine-Centric RevOps - Burnout by Process. Erosion of Trust. The Garbage In, Garbage Out data paradox. Coles reveals how technical correctness destroys functional reality.
⚡ Empathy-Based Process Design (EBPD) - A new playbook for building revenue systems that support human intuition, reduce cognitive load, and earn genuine adoption.
⚡ The RevOps Therapist Model - How to manage GTM tension, broker alignment, and become the strategic leader your organization actually needs.

⚡ The High-Touch Tech Stack Strategy - Shift automation from "commander" to "co-pilot," empowering better decisions without drowning teams in bots, alerts, or unnecessary friction.

⚡ Leadership as the Empathetic Architect - A blueprint for hiring, budgeting, forecasting, and scaling a GTM engine that's resilient - not just efficient.
