Vault Verify case study: RevOps for a PE-backed company without adding headcount

JayOh gave PE-backed Vault Verify a working RevOps function instead of a new full-time hire: shared definitions, a marketing–sales SLA, an intake process, Salesforce training and automated data cleaning. Lead processing got 30% faster, Lead-to-MQL conversion improved 45% and data errors dropped 90%.

01 · Client type

Who was the client?

Vault Verify needed RevOps outcomes (clean handoffs, trustworthy data, a team that could use Salesforce) without adding a full-time head. The issues were the ones most PE-backed teams inherit.

02 · Problem

What problem were they solving?

Problem 1

No shared language

Marketing and sales used terms differently, so stage definitions and reports didn’t line up.

Problem 2

Leads dropped at the handoff

There was no agreed marketing–sales SLA defining when a lead transfers, what information moves with it and how it’s recorded.

Problem 3

No front door for RevOps requests

Issues, tasks and projects needing RevOps support had no intake process, so they were slow to resolve.

Problem 4

Dirty data and low tool proficiency

Data uploads, cleaning and deduplication were manual, and the team needed structured Salesforce training.

03 · System built

What system did JayOh build?

7 workstreams, in the order they matter. Each one closes a specific gap from the problem list above.

Stack
SalesforceInsycleDefinitions DictionaryMarketing ↔ Sales SLARevOps intake process

Definitions Dictionary

One reference for consistent terminology across marketing, sales and leadership.

Marketing ↔ Sales SLA and process flowchart

A documented SLA and a Marketing → Sales process flowchart that set exactly how and when leads move.

Shared KPIs

Common objectives and KPIs so every team worked toward company goals, not just their own.

RevOps intake process

A single way for stakeholders to submit issues, tasks and projects needing RevOps support.

Rhythm of Salesforce End User Training

Recurring training that raised Salesforce proficiency and day-to-day productivity.

Automated data quality

Insycle implemented to automate data cleaning, upload hygiene and deduplication.

Lead handoff process

Defined when and how a lead transfers, what information goes with it and how the handoff is recorded in Salesforce.

04 · Timeline

How long did it take? Ongoing embedded engagement

JayOh operated as the company’s RevOps function. It ran as an embedded engagement rather than a fixed-length project, so there’s no single end date to quote.

Phase 1

Define

Definitions Dictionary, shared KPIs and the marketing–sales process flowchart.

Phase 2

Govern

Marketing ↔ Sales SLA, lead-handoff rules and the RevOps intake process go live.

Phase 3

Clean

Insycle automates data cleaning, uploads and deduplication.

Phase 4

Enable

Recurring Salesforce end-user training locks in adoption.

06 · Takeaways

What made it work?

The operator lessons we’d apply to any team facing the same problem.

01

Write the definitions down first

A Definitions Dictionary sounds small. It is what made the SLA, the KPIs and the reports agree with each other.

02

An SLA is a conversion lever

Defining exactly how leads hand off drove a 45% Lead-to-MQL improvement without changing lead volume.

03

Give RevOps a front door

An intake process made RevOps support 50% faster because work stopped arriving through hallway requests.

07 · Self-check

Is this your situation?

Five signs we saw at this client before the work started. Tick the ones that are true for you; the more you tick, the closer your fix looks like this system.

Rule of thumb: 1–2 signs is a contained fix, 3 is this pattern, 4–5 means the system needs rebuilding rather than patching.
