Marketing automation vs sales ops ownership
Automation without sales ops ownership creates lead graveyards. Align stages, SLAs, and CRM truth before more tools.

Agree on stages
Marketing and sales must share stage names and entry rules. If MQL means three different things, automation will amplify the confusion.
SLA with a name
First touch within N hours only works when a person or queue owns it. Dashboards without owners are decoration.
CRM as truth
Write-back and field mapping must be testable in a live demo. If sales cannot open the record, the automation did not finish.

- Scope systems, owners, and allowlists
- Deliver QA evidence and runbooks
- Name the day-two support window
See the service page for scope examples, then book a call if the fit is clear.

- What is lead ops vs marketing automation?
- Lead ops is the ownership and routing design. Automation is the machinery. Buy both in that order.
