Key Takeaways

  1. A pitch-free environment is the core value proposition of this community. The founders explicitly built it in response to a pattern in other communities where asking a question leads to being pitched on LinkedIn, in the community, and via email — a frustration many RevOps practitioners will recognize immediately.
  2. Strict membership gatekeeping is what makes niche communities worth joining. Every application is manually reviewed, and non-RevOps professionals are turned away — keeping the signal-to-noise ratio high from day one.
  3. The community launched with 50 RevOps leaders already involved. Rather than starting from zero, Weflow seeded the community with established practitioners from around the world, giving early members an immediate peer network rather than an empty Slack workspace.
  4. Local city chapters bridge the gap between online community and real-world relationships. Drawing on experience hosting five RevOps meetups, the community is structured to support in-person connections — including an existing informal RevOps lunch group already meeting regularly in Berlin.
  5. Keeping it permanently free removes the commercial tension that degrades most communities over time. The explicit commitment that there is no commercial interest behind the community is a direct signal to members that the space won't eventually pivot into a sales funnel.

Full Transcript

Janis Zech: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the RevOps Lab Podcast. I'm here with Philipp, and today's episode is gonna be three minutes maximum. We have a special announcement to make. So, Philipp, what is this all about?

Philipp Stelzer: Yeah. Together with fifty RevOps leaders from all across the world, we are launching a free Slack community exclusive for RevOps professionals so they can connect, share, support each other, and learn from each other. So here are a few facts. So first and foremost, it's free. It's always gonna be free. There's no commercial interest in this. Secondly, it's for RevOps only. We review every application. And if you don't work in RevOps, you won't get in. It's a bit like Berghain in Berlin, but more fun. And then we do this because we've noticed that in other communities, you ask a question, then you get pitched, you know, in the community, on LinkedIn, via email, and we just wanna avoid that. Right? So you can ask your questions, you get answers, you can have, you know, the hard conversations and solve problems together faster. And then lastly, we set up local city chapters so you can meet and connect with local folks, not just in Slack, but actually in real life. As you might know, we've hosted five RevOps meetups last year, and they've all been super fun. It's not a lot of effort, and we have some folks that actually meet regularly for RevOps lunch in Berlin. It's super nice. It's just really fun. So to get early access, go to getweflow.com/community. That's getweflow.com/community. Thank you so much, and hope to see you on Slack.

Janis Zech: See you there.
