Weekly newsletter #124

The best of what I've read this week, about operations, training and education, communication, and more

Jun 09, 2025

Hello!

I hope some of you join me on Friday at 11am Pacific time for a webinar with Jasmine Powers of the RevOps HUG about documentation!

I discovered that Openprise is giving away a pro membership to RevOps Co-op and MarketingOps.com community every month on LinkedIn — find their posts with contest instructions here.

Speaking of events, you have a few extra days to submit to be a speaker at the MOps-Apalooza conference. I would encourage you to apply, especially if you haven’t spoken in person before; they’re looking for new voices.

I’m in LA this week for my university job’s School of Business summit, though I think the schedule is too packed for any non-work meetups. We are visiting Universal Studios one night, so that should be fun!

Onto the curated resources!

Thanks to this week’s sponsor:
