What they are known for

Carrie Aguilar works across revenue operations, sales strategy, and enablement, alongside venture support and the In Her Land podcast.

  • Their posts connect practical ways to help go-to-market teams adapt with a broader interest in how women build careers and companies.
  • In the clearest operational post, they recommend predictable communication routines, shared internal values, small-group testing, and limits on the pace of change.
  • They also argue that doing good work is not enough if people cannot see it: follow-up, summaries, and clear communication help make work’s value visible.
  • Follow them for this blend of hands-on revenue-team thinking and reflections on building a career and company on one’s own terms.

Aguilar turns broad workplace challenges into specific practices.

  • Faced with rapid product and process changes, they suggest weekly emails or monthly training as communication “containers,” testing new approaches with a few reps before rollout, and using those early testers as change champions.
  • They link that operational advice to a second theme: make work visible through follow-up and clear summaries rather than expecting it to speak for itself.
  • Their posts also show a wider professional mix—fractional revenue-operations work, venture-side fundraising and portfolio support, and the In Her Land podcast—so their perspective is not limited to sales enablement.

Ideas and priorities

Across three LinkedIn posts, Carrie Aguilar argues from an operator's position.

Read more

Their central claim is that fast product and process change in go-to-market teams is a communication-design problem, not a motivation problem, and they offer a specific four-part method.

  • A second recurring argument treats visibility as a working skill alongside execution, in sales and in careers.
  • Around both, Aguilar describes a deliberately plural career: fractional revenue operations work, venture-side fundraising and portfolio support, sales coaching, and a stated aim of connecting revenue ownership to long-term wealth for women.
  • One post also names the gap between arguing for visibility and having gone quiet themselves.

Fast change needs predictable containers, not just more communication

Aguilar argues that when playbooks, compensation structures, and SOPs are quick to produce with AI and product updates can land at any moment, the danger is not too little information but whiplash — teams feeling like "cars caught in a hail storm."

Read more

Their response is structural rather than motivational, with four parts.

  • First, create and stick with "containers": fixed, expected communication slots so people know where and when change arrives.
  • Second, build internal values employees can rally around during upheaval, distinct from the outward-facing values a product markets on.
  • Third, test before rolling out — give a small group of reps a changed approach, a different selling motion, or a new tool, and treat those people as "change champions."
  • Fourth, hold the line on timing where you can, because stacking updates without a defined process adds to the very whiplash you are trying to prevent.
  • Aguilar closes by asking readers what has worked, presenting the framework as a working hypothesis rather than a settled doctrine.

They name weekly emails and monthly update trainings as the containers, and describe the pilot as asking a few reps to change their approach, sell differently, or try a tool before a wider rollout.

Selling is half doing the work, half making the work visible

After a stretch away from posting, Aguilar argues that visibility is a discipline, not self-promotion: when work goes unshared, people cannot help, opportunities do not find you, and the impact stays smaller than it should.

Read more

They point to what strong sales reps do — follow up, summarize, reinforce value — and extend the same logic to building a career or company, particularly for women they say are often taught to keep their heads down and let the work speak for itself.

They state the split directly — half the job is doing the work, the other half is saying you are doing it — and frame the post as a return after months of choosing presence over posting.

The same post names a tension in their own practice: Aguilar admits they went quiet while working and building the In Her Land podcast, then argues that visibility matters. The contradiction is acknowledged rather than resolved, making the argument read as something they are working out, not simply prescribing.

Read original

A big life means more than one version of success

Looking back three years after leaving an established role, Aguilar says the decision was not about having a plan but about finding out what was possible.

Read more

They list aims that do not collapse into a single job title: build organizations, help founders grow, become an investor, fundraise, keep coaching sales teams, create, and be present with family. Their conclusion: a big life is not about doing more but about building something authentically yours — a reframing of ambition away from volume and toward fit.

They anchor the claim in two commitments announced in the same post: joining FinalForms as Fractional Head of Revenue Operations to work on systems, strategy, and enablement for a go-to-market organization, and joining JumpStart Ventures on fundraising and portfolio support.

Connecting revenue ownership to long-term wealth, especially for women

Aguilar names this as a direction they intend to write about: how revenue ownership connects to long-term wealth, alongside what they are seeing in sales enablement and what is and is not working in early-stage sales strategy.

Read more

They point to the In Her Land podcast as the space where the theme is taking shape — conversations with women who are building, leading, questioning, and evolving in real time.

Start with their work

Change Management in the age of Ai (through the lens of RevOps/Sales Enablement)

This is Aguilar’s clearest statement of how they think about guiding a go-to-market team through rapid product and process change.

Read more

A newcomer who reads only one post should start here: it lays out the four moves—containers, internal values, pilot testing, and holding the line—that recur in the rest of the work.

Aguilar starts from a specific problem: playbooks, comp structures, and SOPs are now quick to produce and product updates can land at any moment, so teams feel like "cars caught in a hail storm."

  • Four practices follow, each with a concrete mechanism rather than a slogan.
  • First, create and stick with "containers" — fixed, expected communication slots such as weekly emails and monthly update trainings — so people know where change arrives.
  • Second, build internal values employees can rally around during upheaval, distinct from the customer-facing values a product markets on.
  • Third, test before rolling out: give a small group of reps a changed approach, a different selling motion, or a new tool, and treat those people as "change champions."
  • Fourth, hold the line where you can, because stacking product updates without a defined time and process for them adds to the very whiplash the team is trying to prevent.
  • The post closes by asking readers what has worked, which shows the framework is offered as a working hypothesis.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand evaluating Aguilar for a change-management or sales-enablement brief gets an off-the-shelf structure to build on: cadence design, internal-values messaging, a pilot group, and update governance. The specific “change champions” idea can become a deliverable—a named pilot cohort and a short test plan—rather than a general promise to help teams adapt.

On stepping back from posting and pairing execution with visibility

This post explains what Aguilar wants to change in how revenue work is talked about, and names the podcast and themes they return to.

Read more

It’s a strong starting point for understanding the visibility-and-communication thread running through the operational content.

After a stretch away from LinkedIn, Aguilar describes choosing “presence over posting” while building behind the scenes and working on the In Her Land podcast.

  • They draw a direct line from that experience to sales: half the job is doing the work and half is saying you are doing it—not for self-promotion but for clarity.
  • Unshared work means people cannot help, opportunities cannot find you, and impact stays smaller.
  • They point to what strong reps actually do—follow up, summarize, reinforce value—and argue that building a career or a company works the same way, particularly for women who are often told to keep their heads down and let the work speak.
  • They plan to write next about sales enablement observations, early-stage sales strategy, and connecting revenue ownership to long-term wealth for women.

For brands planning a campaign

For an enablement brief, this frames messaging and internal communication as part of the job, not an add-on, and pairs naturally with the “containers” idea in the change-management post. It also signals a defined editorial lane—enablement, early-stage sales strategy, and revenue ownership for women—that a brand can align a campaign or podcast collaboration with.

Three years after leaving a role to bet on myself: two new chapters

This post explains the shape of Aguilar’s current work—a fractional revenue operations role plus venture-side fundraising and portfolio support—in their own words.

Read more

It shows why the profile combines operator work with investor-adjacent work rather than centering on one job title.

Aguilar marks three years since leaving an established role, saying the decision was not about having a plan but about finding out what was possible.

  • Their aims are broad and operational: build organizations, help founders grow, become an investor, fundraise, keep coaching sales teams, create, and be present with family.
  • They announce two concrete commitments: joining FinalForms as Fractional Head of Revenue Operations, working on systems, strategy, and enablement for a go-to-market organization; and joining JumpStart Ventures to work on fundraising and portfolio support alongside founders and investors.
  • The recurring message is that a big life is not about doing more but about building a life that is authentically yours.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand weighing Aguilar for a go-to-market brief should note the fractional arrangement: their enablement and RevOps work is current and hands-on, while the venture work opens a second audience of early-stage founders and portfolio companies. That combination suits campaigns aimed at startup go-to-market teams, where the pitch can draw on both an operator and a funder perspective.

Topics and approach

Revenue operations and sales enablement under fast change

In a post about change management in the age of AI, Carrie Aguilar frames the problem as preventing sales and revenue teams from feeling like cars caught in a hail storm as playbooks, compensation structures, SOPs, and product updates arrive quickly.

Read more

Their four-part approach: create predictable communication containers such as weekly emails and monthly update trainings; establish internal values employees can rally around during change; test changes with a small group of reps and use change champions; and hold the line on update timing so the organization is not overwhelmed.

Create fixed communication containers; define internal values; pilot with a small rep group and change champions; limit when updates land.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand selling change management, sales enablement, or revenue operations software can use Aguilar to give buyers a concrete operating cadence instead of generic advice to communicate more. The four steps translate into a webinar, checklist, or workshop.

Examples: Source 1

Visibility as a sales and career skill

In a re-entry post, Aguilar says they chose presence over posting while working and building the In Her Land podcast, then argues that half the job is doing the work and the other half is saying you are doing it.

Read more

For sales teams, the best reps do not just do great work; they follow up, summarize, and reinforce value. They extend that argument to careers and company building, especially for women, and say faster growth comes from pairing execution with visibility.

Follow up, summarize, reinforce value, and make work visible to the people who can help or buy.

Because this is a personal re-entry post rather than a documented client case, ask for a client example before using it as proof of sales-visibility outcomes.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand targeting sales leaders, enablement teams, or women in revenue can use Aguilar for content on pipeline follow-through, internal visibility, and personal brand within a sales organization. The podcast offers a possible interview or co-created conversation format.

Fractional revenue leadership and founder support

In a career-update post, Aguilar says they left a role three years earlier to bet on themselves, then joined FinalForms as Fractional Head of Revenue Operations and JumpStart Ventures focused on fundraising and portfolio support.

Read more

The work spans building organizations, helping founders grow, investing, fundraising, coaching sales teams, and creating room for family and what they call a big life.

Early-stage sales strategy and revenue ownership

Aguilar lists what they plan to discuss: what is and is not working in early-stage sales strategy, what they are seeing in sales enablement, and how to connect revenue ownership to long-term wealth, especially for women.

For brands planning a campaign

A B2B SaaS brand targeting early-stage or founder-led sales teams can use Aguilar to connect sales process to wealth-building and ownership, a less common angle than tactical enablement alone.

Partnership options

Carrie Aguilar’s posts describe professional service relationships, not media placements.

They say they joined FinalForms as fractional head of revenue operations and work with JumpStart Ventures on fundraising and portfolio support.

  • They also describe hosting the In Her Land podcast as a space for conversations with women building and leading companies.
  • The posts do not specify sponsorship formats, rates, deliverables, audience packages, exclusivity terms, disclosure practices, or how to request sponsorship.
  • A company seeking Aguilar’s revenue operations and enablement expertise could pursue a services-style engagement, as FinalForms appears to have done, rather than a sponsored post or podcast segment.
  • The podcast is the only asset presented as media, but its format, episode cadence, audience size, and production arrangements are not described.
  • Before committing budget, ask whether paid media formats are available and request a written scope covering deliverables, timing, review and approval, disclosure, and results reporting.

Campaign fit

A campaign to shortlist

Campaign need A (strong fit): a B2B SaaS company selling to sales and revenue teams needs its go-to-market organization steadied while product and process changes land quickly, and it wants a change-management and enablement approach built from real mechanisms rather than encouragement to communicate more.

Read more

Carrie Aguilar fits this campaign need, and the clearest reason is the framework in Aguilar's change-management post.

  • It has four parts, each of which a brand can build a campaign around: fixed communication "containers" such as a weekly email slot and a monthly update training, so the team knows where change arrives; internal values employees can rally around during upheaval, kept separate from the customer-facing values a product markets on; a pilot group of a few reps who test a changed approach, a different selling motion, or a new tool before wider rollout, working as "change champions"; and holding the line on when product updates land, because stacking updates without a defined time and process adds to the whiplash the team is trying to prevent.
  • That is an operating cadence a client can adopt, not a general promise to help teams adapt.
  • Aguilar's second post supplies the communication half of the same problem.
  • Strong reps follow up, summarize, and reinforce value, and work that stays invisible cannot attract help, budget, or opportunities.
  • That argument pairs naturally with the container idea: the pilot group's findings need to be circulated, not just gathered.
  • Aguilar's career post shows Aguilar is currently doing this work rather than only writing about it.
  • Aguilar describes joining FinalForms as fractional head of revenue operations to shape the systems, strategy, and enablement behind a high-performing go-to-market organization, alongside fundraising and portfolio support at JumpStart Ventures.
  • Two limits belong in the campaign plan.
  • Aguilar closes the change post by asking readers what Aguilar is missing, which presents the framework as a working hypothesis.
  • And the posts contain no client results, adoption data, or measured outcomes, so the campaign should let the client's own pilot produce the proof rather than borrowing results that do not exist.

When to choose a specialist

Campaign need B (weak fit as scoped): a vendor wants a paid placement — a sponsored post or podcast segment on In Her Land — with guaranteed reach, audience demographics, defined deliverables, and rates.

Read more

The posts do not specify whether sponsorships or partnerships are available, or provide deliverables, timing, exclusivity, disclosure practices, or a way to request a placement.

  • The podcast is described as a space for real conversations with women who are building, leading, questioning, and evolving, but its format, episode cadence, audience size, and production arrangements are not documented.
  • The posts also provide no performance data for comparable topics or formats.
  • That is a lack of information in the posts, not proof that paid formats do not exist.
  • If the campaign depends on measured reach or a defined media package, ask for those terms in writing before reassessing.
  • If the goal is instead to hire Aguilar for revenue-operations and enablement expertise on a specific go-to-market problem, the same need becomes reasonable as a services engagement — paid working time on a change problem, as at FinalForms — rather than a sponsored placement.
A worked campaign example

A worked angle for the B2B SaaS campaign: “Containers, champions, and a 30-day change plan.”

  • The premise: the client doesn’t lack new playbooks — AI makes those cheap — but people don’t know when change is coming or which changes to trust.
  • The campaign turns Aguilar’s four moves into one usable asset and one live test.

Format: a 30-minute recorded working session between Aguilar and the client’s enablement lead, published as a video with a written companion.

  • Make it a working session, not a keynote.
  • The client brings its actual product-update cadence and lists the updates landing next quarter; Aguilar applies containers, internal values, pilot testing, and update windows to that list on camera.
  • Viewers see the method applied to real items, not a generic slide.

The asset: a one-page change plan with four blocks — a fixed weekly communication slot, a monthly training slot, a product-update window, and a pilot block.

  • The pilot block names three to five reps as change champions, states what they will test and how long the test runs, and defines what result would stop the rollout.
  • Ship a blank version alongside a completed example, so viewers can adapt the plan and put it to work the same week.

Distribution: Aguilar writes a post or newsletter about the client’s update cadence, drawing on the visibility point from their second post. Summarize and circulate the pilot group’s early findings so the wider team can see what changed and why — a step many enablement programs skip.

What the client supplies: the product-update list, the enablement lead’s time, and a commitment to run the pilot for a defined period. What Aguilar supplies: the framework, the session, and the written companion.

Measurement and next step: track template downloads, session attendance, pilot signups, and, after 30 days, how many of the four containers were actually held.

  • Because the framework has no published client outcomes, promise a documented pilot, not adoption at scale; the 30-day check can generate case details for a later campaign.
  • The handoff is a one-page brief for the client’s enablement lead to take into the pilot kickoff, naming the champions, the test, the stop condition, and the two fixed communication slots.

Who else to consider

Nayaja Lewis

Choose Lewis over Aguilar when the problem is a single deal rather than a rollout, or when the campaign centers on team morale rather than process.

Read more

In the sales post, deals are won in rooms the seller is not in.

  • The seller's job is to arm an internal champion with the business case, ROI, customer success stories and prepared answers to coming objections, so they can carry the message without the seller present.
  • If momentum dies after the champion leaves the room, that framing is directly on point.
  • The second post describes a teammate who read an unsent personal note and responded to what was not being said; it argues that people matter more than process.
  • If the campaign hinges on recognition, resilience or how a team treats one another during a hard stretch, that is Lewis's subject rather than Aguilar's operating cadence.

Lewis's posts offer no way to sequence change: no communication containers, product-update windows, pilot or change-champion structure.

  • A client seeking a repeatable method for landing change across a quarter would trade a system for deal-level and morale arguments.
  • The posts also sit in different registers—an enterprise sales technique and a personal reflection—so a campaign would need to decide which one it is buying.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Brian Carr

Choose Carr when the campaign problem is deal execution and a tool or AI component is part of the answer.

Read more

The post describes Playboox turning the playbook most sales organizations discuss but never operationalize into a dynamic, deal-by-deal resource rather than a static annual document.

  • AI-enhanced and integrated with the CRM, it gives reps deal-specific plays and managers an anchor for coaching conversations.
  • The post also describes an AI sales agent that sits on a website and holds sales conversations with prospects before a human gets involved.
  • If enablement content and training exist but managers lack support for coaching reps on live deals, that is Carr's territory.

The posts announce an advisory role at one company, minutes apart and with identical text.

  • A campaign built on them leans on product and vendor framing rather than a method clients can apply without that product.
  • A brand seeking a vendor-neutral change cadence would trade Aguilar's four-part framework for a case pointing to a specific tool.
  • Ask for examples of the approach applied across different subjects.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Tricia Dempsey

Choose Dempsey when a client is managing a talent transition or needs a live cohort or workshop rather than advice.

Read more

One post describes teaching more than 1,000 women to pinpoint their purpose, noticing that half wanted something other than a new job, and running cohorts with an application process and a small number of spots.

  • The other turns a personal transition—dropping a child at college and the quiet that follows—into an invitation to a live 90-minute masterclass on starting a consulting business, with a registration link.
  • If the campaign helps an audience decide whether and how to leave a role and build something of their own, Dempsey offers both the story and an actual program format to slot into the campaign.

That calls for a different buyer decision from Aguilar's and changes the campaign's objective.

  • For a campaign aimed at steadying a go-to-market organization through rapid product and process change, Dempsey's posts do not address revenue operations, enablement cadence or how change lands with a team.
  • Choosing Dempsey means trading an operational framework for a participant-facing program.
  • The tradeoff shifts only if the campaign also addresses how an organization handles people leaving or changing roles.
