    🇬🇧 #15 - Simple metrics, big impact: How a CFO drives saas growth, with Christian (CJ) Jessen (Formalize)

    The Commission Corner - with our first CFO guest ever: Christian (CJ), dialing in from Denmark. From building his own startup as a developer to investment banking at Citibank in NYC, C.J. brings a unique mix of tech and finance to the table. Now, as CFO at Formalize (formerly Whistleblower Software), he’s helping scale one of Europe’s most promising compliance startups. What’s the story behind Formalize? → Started as a point-solution for whistleblower compliance, sparked by new EU regulations. → Transformed into a compliance operations platform serving SMEs that now face enterprise-level regulation. → Closed a €15M Series A to expand across Europe. What makes Christian (CJ) different as a CFO? → Didn’t “grow up in finance” - started in tech, pivoted into banking, then back to startups. → Brings M&A and fundraising expertise from Wall Street straight into hyper-growth environments. → Thinks in systems: from Quote-to-Cash to long-term product dynamics. Revenue, not complexity → For early-stage SaaS: ARR or MRR is the only metric that matters. → C.J. avoids over-engineered KPIs and keeps dashboards focused on sustainable growth drivers. How does he view commission? → Strong believer in clear and simple commission plans - reps should instantly know what they earn per deal. → Incentives go beyond money: team-wide milestones, symbolic rewards (like a shared espresso machine), and moments that stick. → “You want reps to feel success - not calculate it in spreadsheets.” Fundraising mindset → CFO isn’t in the spotlight – but behind every deck, model, and investor call. → The process is like sales: “The only difference is I only need to close one deal.” C.J.’s takeaway: “Understand the product. Understand the cycle. Build incentives that feel natural, not forced. Then step back and let the system run.”

    🇩🇪 #14 - RevOps ohne Schnickschnack – Wie Magdalena Prantl Klarheit schafft beim 65 Mio. Series B Unternehmen FTAPI

    "Es gibt im Revenue Operations keinen langweiligen Tag und genau das liebe ich daran!" In der neuen Folge von The Commission Corner sprechen wir mit Magdalena Prantl, Head of Revenue Operations bei FTAPI, über ihren Weg in den RevOps-Bereich, Tool-Überdruss und was ein gutes Provisionsmodell wirklich ausmacht. Ein paar Takeaways: → Karriere durch Zufall? Magdalena hat als Werkstudentin gestartet und ist heute Teamlead – weil sie Sales, Daten und Strategie liebt. → Tool-Flut im RevOps: 3-5 Tool-Pitches pro Woche, aber was bringt wirklich Mehrwert? Spoiler: eher Tool-Adoption als Tool-Kauf. → AI in der Praxis: Von datenbasierten GPTs bis zu Roleplays im Onboarding – was schon funktioniert und was (noch) nicht. → Provision mit Klarheit: Warum FTAPI bald auf ein modernes Tiering-Modell wechseln will. → "Salesprozess mit AI?" Nur, wenn es der Kunde nicht merkt. Persönlicher Kontakt bleibt USP. Wer in RevOps denkt, wird in dieser Folge viel wiedererkennen. Wer neu einsteigt, lernt eine Menge. Danke Magdalena für die Offenheit, den Einblick in deine Arbeit und das klare Statement: „Sky the Limit“ – auch bei Provisionen. Jetzt reinhören & mitdiskutieren: Wie sieht für euch ein faires Provisionsmodell aus?

    “Keep it simple and make it work.” That’s the mindset Kristina Kardell brings to RevOps.

Real talk about RevOps, compensation, and how to scale smart. 👀 Now live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Youtube.

It frees them.” A must-listen if you’re in sales, RevOps, or just trying to modernize a growing GTM team. 🎙️ Now live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Youtube. 🔥 Bastien's profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bastien-roche/
