When it comes to Revenue Operations (RevOps), the goal is simple: align your marketing, sales, and customer success teams to drive predictable, scalable growth. But achieving this isn’t as straightforward. You need expertise, a strategic approach, and a clear focus on efficiency. For many businesses, the question arises: should you hire an in-house team or work with a specialised agency?
Here’s why partnering with a RevOps agency like Six & Flow makes financial sense, alongside insights on when it might make sense to hire in-house.
Hiring an in-house RevOps team is expensive. I mean, consider these costs:
The average salary for a RevOps Manager in the UK can easily exceed £60,000 per year, and that’s before factoring in additional benefits, software costs, and overheads. For a fully functional team, you’re looking at multiple hires, and well that means your costs will stack up quickly.
By contrast, a RevOps agency offers a predictable, controlled investment. By only paying for the services you need, and for the time they're investing in your business, without the financial commitment of long-term salaries - we're looking at quite some difference from a cost perspective.
With Six & Flow, for example, you get access to trained experts from day one, without having to worry about onboarding or building a team from scratch.
Maximising your existing resources - this one has to be one of the biggest advantages of hiring a RevOps agency, hands down! You’ve already invested in tools, processes, and people - an agency ensures you’re getting the most out of them.
RevOps agencies identify inefficiencies, streamline operations, and optimise your technology stack to ensure every penny you spend contributes directly to your bottom line. They also bring data-driven insights to the table, helping you make informed decisions that yield tangible results.
By optimising your resources, you're not just saving money; you're also boosting efficiency. Your teams will spend less time on manual tasks and more time on strategic activities that drive revenue. Plus, with everything running smoothly, you'll likely see improvements in customer satisfaction and employee morale.
Building an in-house RevOps function takes time - time to recruit, train, and get your team up to speed. This delays your return on investment.
We, on the other hand, can immediately hit the ground running. Building a framework tailored to your needs, we can quickly implement solutions and strategies that get results. Faster implementation means faster time-to-market and quicker ROI.
At Six & Flow, we know that time is money. One of the significant advantages of partnering with a RevOps agency like ours is the speed at which we can help you implement changes and get results. Unlike building an in-house team, which can take months to recruit, train, and get up to speed.
Inefficiencies in your current operations could be costing you more than you realise. Duplicated efforts, underutilised tools, and outdated systems are all silent drains on your budget.
A RevOps agency works to eliminate these hidden costs by streamlining your processes. For instance, we assess your technology stack, consolidate tools where possible, and ensure every resource is delivering maximum value. The result? Cost savings and a smoother, more efficient operation.
There’s no denying that an in-house RevOps team can be valuable—but it’s not always the right move, especially in the early stages of implementing RevOps. Here are scenarios where building an internal team makes sense:
That said, in-house hiring comes with challenges:
With a RevOps agency, you have flexibility. You can adjust your engagement as needed and ensure you’re working with proven experts.
When you hire Six & Flow, you’re not just outsourcing RevOps—you’re gaining a strategic partner.
