The Accountability Gap: Why Most RevOps Systems Fail (& How to Make Yours Succeed) w/ Katarina Lujic

Death To Vanilla Podcast | Content Marketing & Innovation

In this episode of "The Death of Vanilla Podcast," host Stephen Burkhart sits down with Katarina, a revenue operations expert who recently launched her own consulting firm after years in Silicon Valley startups. Discover how she's helping SaaS startups implement enterprise-level revenue strategies without the enterprise-level costs.Katarina shares her journey from immigrant to tech startup veteran to founder, and explains her unique approach to RevOps that includes bringing product teams into the revenue conversation—a game-changing perspective most early-stage companies miss. Learn why your accounting and CRM should tell the same story, how to identify which 20% of efforts will give you 80% of results, and why she focuses on delivering "painkillers" that solve immediate problems before introducing "vitamins" for long-term growth.The conversation explores surprising insights about LinkedIn's effectiveness for B2B lead generation (it's where 100% of her clients come from!), why authentic networking still matters, and her biggest revelation since launching: RevOps systems are completely useless without a culture of accountability. If you're a founder looking to accelerate revenue growth, avoid costly mistakes, and make data-driven decisions about your product roadmap, this episode offers practical strategies you can implement immediately.Connect with Katarina on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarina-lujic-advisor/Reach out to him on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenburkhart/or by email [email protected] Creative AgencyHttp://www.burkhartcreativeagency.comSpotlight Socialhttp://www.thespotlightsocial.com
