Yes. Your marketing agency runs campaigns and content. We handle the operations underneath them: development, routing, handoffs, lifecycle definitions, scoring, and reporting.
It depends on whether your system is ready to hand over. A mid-level RevOps hire typically costs $150,000 to $200,000 a year with benefits and taxes, plus three to six months of ramp time.
