29. CR-Oh No: Why You're Wrong About CROs with Warren Zenna

The Corporate Data Show: Outbound Marketing | Email Lists | Sales Leads | Data Strategy

As Warren Zenna of the CRO Collective tells Rick in this week’s episode, one of the most swept-under-the-rug issues plaguing companies is their misunderstanding of the role Chief Revenue Officers (CROs) play. Some organizations simply don’t have one, while others are using theirs incorrectly. Warren explains how important it is for the CRO role to be effective and holistic, so that companies are seeing as much revenue as possible.
