Episode Synopsis

In this episode of RevOps Champions, John Plumley, Director of Revenue Operations at Tri State HVAC, joins Brendon Dennewill to discuss the intersection of technology and process in scaling a traditional B2B business. John provides insight into Tri State HVAC’s unique position as a commercial HVAC manufacturers representative focused on large projects and key relationships within the Philadelphia region. With a mechanical engineering background and decades of sales experience, John shares how his long-standing fascination with CRMs led him to transition from sales into a full RevOps role, where he drives both digital transformation and cultural change within the organization.The conversation delves into the real-world challenges and triumphs of adopting new technologies like HubSpot CRM, integrating operations with accounting, and implementing smarter, data-driven processes. A significant focus is placed on the human side of change—navigating resistance, fostering buy-in, and the importance of mapping out and communicating process improvements before rolling out new solutions. John and Brendon explore how aligning people, data, and technology not only streamlines internal operations but creates a fresh competitive advantage in an industry that’s traditionally slow to change.Looking ahead, the episode highlights opportunities for leveraging AI and knowledge management to enhance both customer and employee experiences.
