Departments: Revenue Operations

Less time on the process around the deal. More on the deal.

We deploy governed agents around account research, CRM workflows, pipeline operations, quoting and revenue exceptions, in the CRM, email and document systems your revenue team already uses.

Where work gets stuck

A deal slows down between teams, not inside them.

These are the patterns we look for in a revenue function.

  1. The CRM is out of date because keeping it right is nobody's favourite job.

  2. A pricing exception waits for approval while the customer waits for a quote.

  3. Legal review is routed by email, and nobody can say where a contract is.

  4. The same security questionnaire is answered again from scratch, by a different person, each time.

  5. The forecast is assembled from a spreadsheet the night before it is due.

  6. Handoff to the customer team loses what the sales team learned.

What we deploy

Workflows we deploy agents around.

Each agent works on one workflow. Together they form an operating layer for the revenue team.

Also in scope: commission validation, renewal preparation and quote generation.

A run

A deal, from creation to customer handoff.

This is how one run is put together, with a pricing exception and a legal review in the way.

Illustrative example with made-up data. It shows how a run is put together, and it is not a customer result.

  1. 01Deal created. A new opportunity appears in the CRM.
  2. 02CRM enriched. The agent fills the account record from your systems and public sources.
  3. 03Pricing policy checked. The proposed price is checked against policy, and the result is recorded.
  4. 04Legal exception found. A non-standard term is flagged, with the clause and the policy it breaks.
  5. 05Approval. The right approvers get the evidence they need, in the tools they use.
  6. 06Contract prepared. After approval, the agent prepares the contract from approved templates.
  7. 07Customer handoff. The customer team receives the deal record, the decisions made and the reasons.

Levels of Agency

How much authority each workflow earns.

Every workflow has a starting level and a ceiling. The ceiling reflects the risk, not the ambition.

How much authority each workflow earns.
WorkflowStarts atCeilingAlways with a person
Account research
  • Recommend
  • Confidence-gated autonomy
Every decision about whom to contact, and what to say.
CRM hygiene and lead routing
  • Human-approved execution
  • Governed autonomy
The routing rules, and the disputes about ownership.
Deal desk and pricing approvals
  • Recommend
  • Human-approved execution
Approval of every exception to pricing policy.
Security questionnaires
  • Recommend
  • Human-approved execution
Review of every answer before it leaves the company.
Forecast preparation
  • Recommend
  • Human-approved execution
The forecast call itself.

Some workflows stay well below the top level on purpose. What matters is that each one holds the level its evidence supports.

People

What stays with your team.

Selling is a human job. The agents take on the work around it.

  • Every conversation with a customer or a prospect.
  • Judgment on price, terms and risk.
  • The forecast call, and the accountability that goes with it.
  • Decisions on compensation disputes.

Your systems

We work where your team already works.

Nothing is migrated. Approvals reach people in the tools they already open.

Controls

Controls built for a revenue function.

Pricing, legal and security answers are commitments. The agents treat them that way.

  1. Read and write access set for each system, with no ability to send to a customer on its own until a workflow earns it

  2. Pricing policy checked before any proposal, with each result recorded

  3. Answers drawn only from approved material, each with its source

  4. Approval by the right role for each kind of exception

  5. A complete record of what changed in the CRM, and why

  6. Escalation to a named person whenever the agent is unsure

Measures

How we know it is working.

We agree the baseline in the audit, and measure against it.

  • Time from request to approval for a pricing exception
  • Time to answer a security questionnaire
  • CRM completeness and accuracy
  • Exception, escalation and human intervention rates
  • Confidence calibration: whether high confidence goes with correct outcomes
  • Cost per completed workflow

FAQ

Common questions

  • Not until a workflow has earned it. Anything that goes outside the company starts with a person approving it, and some things always will.

  • No. It checks a proposed price against policy and routes the request. A person with the authority approves every exception.

  • No. The agents work in your CRM, email and chat. Approvals and briefings arrive where sellers already work.

  • Usually with security questionnaires or account research: repetitive, evidence heavy, and low in risk. The audit confirms the right place for your team.
