    Increase prices by 240% by naming someone the Pricing Dictator, Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt CEO Willingness To Pay

    In this episode we talk with Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt, founder of Willingness to Pay and one of the leading voices in SaaS pricing strategy. Ulrik has spent years helping B2B SaaS companies redesign how they monetize their products. Not by tweaking price points, but by fundamentally changing the pricing structures, packaging models and commercial mechanics that drive growth. We dive into one of the most overlooked growth levers in SaaS: pricing. Why do so many companies treat pricing as everyone's responsibility — and therefore nobody's responsibility? Why do great pricing ideas fail during implementation? And why can a pricing redesign create more growth than years of optimization across sales and marketing? Ulrik shares lessons from hundreds of pricing projects, real-world examples of companies doubling and tripling contract values, and why the biggest pricing mistake is often organizational rather than mathematical. ✨ Key takeaways: The money is in the structure, not the price point Someone must own pricing — committees rarely work Great pricing projects fail during implementation, not strategy Product, Sales and Finance each break pricing in different ways The CEO often becomes the deciding factor between a 60% and a 300% pricing increase The average pricing transformation delivered a 240% increase in monetization If nobody owns pricing, maybe you should 🎧 Tune in for a masterclass on pricing, monetization and one of the highest-leverage growth levers in SaaS.

    Sales reps shouldn't be in the CRM" 👀, Kristopher Stenkula Co-founder Garba

    What happens when a founder who has already built and exited companies decides to start over in the AI era? In this episode of Fail n' Grow, Wilma sits down with Kristopher Stenkula, founder of Garba and previously founder of Notified, today used by half of the Fortune 100 companies, with 10,000 customers across 90 countries. The conversation quickly turns into something much bigger than sales intelligence. We discuss: • The future of CRM, sales tools and GTM teams • Why information isn't the bottleneck anymore • Why execution is now the real competitive advantage • How AI-first companies can grow with fewer people • Why the best salespeople may not have traditional sales backgrounds   Stenkula's point of view of tomorrows winners: "The companies that win will be the ones that can turn signals into actions faster than everyone else." Kristoffer also shares how Garba reached $1M ARR in its first year, lessons from building Notified, and why he believes sellers are drowning in information but starving for execution. So, if you want to increase growth and be AI-native, this is the episode for you 👉 SPONSORS Powered by vloxq CPQ (Configure Price Quote), rated as the most user friendly CPQ and a perfect fit when your CRM standardized quote module falls short.    EPISODE CREDITS:  Produced, edited and mixed by Zveki  Segment jingles composed and produced by Niclas Gozzi and Story of You Additional music licensed through Stim

    High achievers — built to last, without burnout. This is the recipe." Linus Wennerström, CEO/Founder Fenix Media Group

    In this episode we talk with Linus Wennerström, co-founder of Fenix Media Group — one of the leading media sales organisations in the Nordics, working with publishers, apps, podcasts, esports and out-of-home media across Sweden and Norway. But this episode is not really about media sales. It’s about what happens when a high-performing sales culture becomes so dopamine-driven that people eventually crash. Linus shares the very honest story of how Fenix built an organisation fuelled by competition, gamification, performance tracking and constant goal chasing — and how they later realised that several employees were burning out behind the scenes. Instead of removing ambition or lowering performance expectations, they started rebuilding the culture around long-term sustainability. We talk about: → the dark side of performance-driven cultures → dopamine vs serotonin in sales organisations → why high performers are often the ones at highest risk → how to build guardrails without killing ambition → leadership, recovery and mental health in scaling companies → creating a culture where people can perform long term — not just short term One of the most powerful moments in the episode: “From recurring burnout cases to ‘night and day’" according to Linus. They didn’t remove performance culture. They rebuilt it for sustainability. A very honest conversation about growth, pressure, culture and what sustainable performance actually looks like.

    In this episode we talk with Anna Modin, CRO at Stratsys, a Nordic SaaS company helping organisations create clarity, reduce risk, and turn strategy into action across compliance, governance, risk and strategy execution. Anna has been part of Stratsys’ journey for 16 years, moving from individual sales into leading the full revenue engine. She shares what it actually takes to go from sales-led growth to a more scalable SaaS model — and why one of the hardest parts is daring to stop doing things that still bring in revenue. We talk about culture, land-and-expand, team-based incentives, profitability, tech stack, and why clarity in GTM is not optional when you want to scale. ✨ Key takeaways: Daring to prioritize is one of the hardest — and most important — parts of scaling You can’t build a scalable SaaS company if you keep chasing every possible deal Land-and-expand has been key to Stratsys’ growth in the private sector Team-based incentives can help when the company needs to move fast and shift focus Culture is not an internal “nice to have” — it shows up in sales, trust, customer relationships and revenue Efficiency matters: Stratsys went from 800K to 1.8M SEK ARR per FTE by working smarter You’re never done — the market changes, and the company needs to keep reshaping itself 🎧 Tune in for an honest conversation about scaling SaaS, building a strong revenue culture, and why growth often starts with deciding what not to do.

    “You have to decide who you’re not selling to” Charlotte Banning, CMO Monterro

    Charlotte Banning is the CMO at Monterro, one of the leading investment partners for B2B SaaS companies in the Nordics. With a background from companies like Salesforce and Telia, she has spent most of her career working hands-on with B2B marketing, growth, and scaling . software businesses. Today, she works closely with Monterro’s portfolio companies, helping them sharpen their positioning, messaging, and go-to-market as they move from product-market fit into scale. In this episode Charlotte explains why positioning is a leadership decision, not a marketing exercise. A lot of companies treat positioning as something you “figure out” in marketing.You run some interviews, define an ICP, adjust messaging. But if it stays there, nothing really changes. Because the real impact of positioning shows up elsewhere: – what deals you walk away from – what product decisions you make – what segments you don’t prioritise – how consistent your organisation is over time If that isn’t owned at the top, it becomes optional and optional positioning doesn’t scale. At some point you have to decide who you’re not selling to.  Charlotte digs deep into the importance to set an aligned company direction when it comes to positioning and how to use it for revenue acceleration.  🎧 This episode is worth a listen if things are working, but not accelerating as you wish it would.    SPONSORS Powered by vloxq CPQ (Configure Price Quote), rated as the most user friendly CPQ and a perfect fit when your CRM standardized quote module falls short.    EPISODE CREDITS:  Produced, edited and mixed by Zveki  Segment jingles composed and produced by Niclas Gozzi and Story of You Additional music licensed through Stim
