Hans Lees, Director of Revenue Operations at DroneDeploy, joins the podcast to share his RevOps Discovery Framework — a powerful approach to uncovering root problems, aligning stakeholders, and driving measurable impact. Whether you're tackling process bottlenecks or trying to rally teams around shared metrics, Hans explains how slowing down with a structured discovery process can actually help you move faster and make smarter decisions in RevOps.


We cover:

  • Why discovery isn’t just for sales — and how RevOps can adopt the mindset

  • Hans’s 4-step RevOps Discovery Framework: Strategy, Metric, Stakeholders, Pain Types

  • How to use data to tell compelling stories and align your org

  • Tips for building trust through listening and stakeholder interviews

  • The role of process, data, systems, and people — and how to categorize pain properly
