From first touch to renewal: Managing CRO expectations across the revenue lifecycle
In today’s dynamic revenue environment, the CRO’s scope extends far beyond net-new acquisition. Yet too often, GTM and RevOps leaders focus only on top-of-funnel metrics—leaving gaps in how expectations are set and managed across the full customer journey.
In this session, Akansha Aggarwal—former GTM Strategy leader at AWS, Google, Meta, and NetApp—pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to partner with a CRO across every stage of the revenue lifecycle. From segmentation and pipeline forecasting to expansion, retention, and customer success, Akansha will share hard-won lessons on:
- How to align CRO priorities with long-term revenue durability
- The operational and cultural traps that lead to expectation breakdowns
- Creating visibility, accountability, and confidence across Sales, CS, and Strategy
- Building a proactive RevOps posture—less firefighter, more orchestra conductor
Whether you’re scaling a commercial org or refining enterprise sales motions, this session will leave you with practical playbooks to reset expectations and deliver clarity at every stage of the revenue funnel.
