VO Vincent Opitz
open to senior RevOps and GTM roles

I build revenue engines for scaling companies and the AI tooling that runs them.

Ten years turning growth targets into operating plans, forecasts people trust and sales teams that hit their numbers. Most recently leading GTM strategy for Motive’s international markets.

Five problems, what I changed, and what moved

Featured Motive · AI inbound agents

AI agents that qualify every inbound lead

70%
of inbound qualification automated
<2 min
response time to new leads
+40%
discovery data completeness
The problem

Inbound discovery was inconsistent and often missed need, fleet size, use case and buying process, which slowed deals further down the funnel. SDRs spent their time qualifying instead of building outbound skills.

What I did

Built AI inbound agents connected to Salesforce, the knowledge base and calendars. They run structured discovery, ask adaptive follow up questions, score each lead, update the CRM and route qualified opportunities to AEs with a structured handoff.

The result

Most inbound qualification now runs without a human, leads hear back within two minutes and SDR capacity moved to outbound pipeline generation.

Motive · Forecasting

One forecasting standard across four countries

30% → 15% forecast variance
The problem

Every country leader forecast differently, some optimistic and some cautious, on different timelines.

What I did

Installed a weekly rhythm of deal reviews, business reviews and an executive forecast call. No deal counted toward commit without economic buyer contact, and every leader forecast the next quarter too.

The result

Variance halved and mid market sales cycles shortened by one to two months.

Motive · AI coaching

A coaching agent that reviews every sales call

3% → 6% call to SQL conversion
The problem

Cold call conversion in Mexico and the UK sat well below benchmark. Transcripts showed weak qualification and missed objections.

What I did

Scoped an agent with Enablement and AI Ops that scores each transcript and sends feedback to the rep straight after the call, with a weekly manager review.

The result

Conversion doubled. The agent now also captures competitor mentions and feature requests for Product and Marketing.

Motive · Data enrichment

Automated enrichment in place of a manual research team

1% → 3% account to SQO conversion
The problem

Leads were enriched by hand by an offshore team spread across regions. It was slow, expensive and inconsistent.

What I did

Designed a waterfall enrichment workflow that fills contact gaps automatically before an account reaches a rep.

The result

Connect rates rose from 8% to 15% and conversion to qualified opportunity tripled, at a fraction of the cost.

Aircall · Mid market relaunch

Winning bigger customers with a mid market relaunch

+9 pts win rate
The problem

Aircall was winning small teams and losing larger ones on packaging, qualification and partner coverage.

What I did

Refreshed pricing and packaging, embedded MEDDPICC stage exit rules in Salesforce and formalised partner co selling.

The result

Win rate up 9 points, partner sourced pipeline up 42% and NRR from 109% to 116%.

Revenue strategy and GTM engineering, end to end

How I work

Three rules I run every team by

01
Cadence serves execution

Every recurring meeting earns its slot. Reporting exists to unblock deals, so I cut what nobody acts on.

02
Every blocker gets an owner

Product gaps and broken processes go up the chain with a named owner and a date attached.

03
Efficiency gates set upfront

Before a market launches I agree the ACV to OTE threshold and the review date, so reinvesting or pulling back is decided on evidence.
