Craig DeMartini reposted thisCraig DeMartini reposted thisJust wrapped a wonderful few days on site with Create Music Group following some exciting momentum for their business. Between recent funding and a major acquisition of Nettwerk Music Group, there’s a lot of energy around what comes next, and it was great to spend time together digging into it. We held a business review and working session in their LA office, talking through priorities, opportunities, solving real time questions, and how Tipalti can continue supporting their next stage of growth. It’s always valuable to move those conversations from Zoom rooms to real rooms, and of course, to the dinner table. Moments like that are a good reminder that strong partnerships are built just as much on solid relationships as they are on solid results. Grateful for the collaboration, the thoughtful conversations, and the trust CMG places in the Tipalti team and our product to pay artists as they scale. A huge thank you to the entire CMG team for welcoming us into your beautiful office, sharing your insights, and for the continued partnership. Excited to keep building together! Special thanks to Ha Megan Le, who keeps the everyday running smoothly, Andrew Abueg, who ensures payment workflows are operating seamlessly, and Carly McConnell, CPA, CA, for supporting and leading challenging technical demonstrations and discussions. Same time next year? 😉

Craig DeMartini reposted thisCraig DeMartini reposted thisToday, Tipalti announced a significant milestone on our journey to elevate how finance teams operate in the global economy—we acquired AI-native treasury automation company, Statement.io. Our approach to innovation is to always challenge ourselves, to rethink what is possible, and push the boundaries in order to serve our customers. With Statement, we’re empowering our customers to scale even more efficiently by significantly strengthening their cash visibility, cash reconciliation, and cash forecasting with real-time data. While this is a milestone for Tipalti, I also want to acknowledge the current situation in Israel. Again, we are faced with a difficult situation that requires resilience in the face of uncertainty. Tipalti and the Israeli tech ecosystem have shown incredible resilience and poise in the face of challenging times. At this time, our top priority is the safety and well-being of our Israeli Tipalti employees and their families, and we extend our thoughts and prayers to all individuals who have been affected by the events that unfolded in the last week.

Craig DeMartini reposted thisCraig DeMartini reposted thisHow can you measure COMPLEXITY in the Office of the CFO? (Part 2 of a multi-part series) In my first post on this series (link in comments) I described how the number of ERP transactions that my finance team has to manage has grown on average 45% a year since 2020, a much faster pace of growth than the headcount on the team (shoutout to my team Tipalti- you are the best!) This post is about how we can keep up with that complexity over time and a large part of the solution is automation. In the chart shows % of Transactions: 🟢 Green: those that post to our ERP in a fully automated fashion 🟡 Yellow: those that are partially automated and 🔴 Red: those that have no automation This is built off of real data by categorizing the transaction types into one of those three categories and taking into account when we brought in tools or changed our processes to automate these activities over time. Here are a few examples: 🍳 Not surprising as the CFO of Tipalti, we eat our own cooking! We use Tipalti AP Automation and Payment execution tool for all of our Accounts payable globally. 🧾 In late 2021 we began using Tipalti PO for Purchase order management. Again, these entities are automatically posted. It’s hard to see the bump here on the chart - it’s not a huge volume relative to other transaction types - but its amazing for visibility and ensuring accruals are accurate. 📲 With the launch of our Tipalti Expenses platform in 2023, we now pay employee reimbursements automatically through the Tipalti platform with the entries syncing to our ERP. Although these transactions are not typically high dollar, they are very high frequency so the impact is large when moving from manual processes to automated ones. ⬆️ At the same time, in 2023 and into 2024 we tackled a big project which related to our Billing (AR, invoicing and collections in our product). This was high volume and high complexity, but also very high impact. 🏦 In 2024 we also added a few of our banks into direct integrations for transaction reconciliation, with more automation here on our priority list for 2025. This is a very interesting space in the office of the CFO and I think the innovation here is yet to be fully realized. In summary, what this data shows us is that we moved from 20% of our processes being fully automated to more than 60% of our processes in a few years. And although our overall Transaction complexity grew on average 45% YoY, this automation transition allowed my finance team to keep up with the accelerated growth and complexity. Putting some data around our growth on these levers has been insightul! PS – if you are a finance leader and want to share tips on what automation tools and processes are working for your teams I would love to get a brainstorm going. Drop me a note in the comments! - 📈 Hi, I'm Sarah, CFO at Tipalti 🔔 Connecting with other Finance leaders is a passion of mine. Follow me here: Sarah Spoja

Craig DeMartini liked thisCraig DeMartini liked thisI had the pleasure of sharing the stage at #SageFuture alongside Alex Horton and Karen Reynaga from Centerfield to tell their story of automating their global finance operations with Tipalti. There were a few things they mentioned during the session that stood out to me: 1. As a controller, Alex talked about being able to ask Tipalti AI a question and get instant visibility into how many countries and currencies Centerfield is paying out to, cash flow, and more. It’s changing how their team operates day to day. 2. On international expansion, they don't need to be the internal experts on different bank info required by country, tax id compliance, and other international nuances in every new country anymore. That's now handled by Tipalti. It frees the team up to focus on the expansion itself rather than the paperwork behind it. And the one that I saw really got the room's attention: 3. Centerfield is now generating $40K a month in cashback revenue from their AP function, with Tipalti Card! Their AP department has shifted from a cost center to a revenue contributor and can now use that cards rebate revenue to invest in the future! It was also moving to see not only their company's growth, but also positive professional growth by those finance folks who helped drive their automation transformation, with Karen recently getting promoted and overseeing a larger charter as they scale. The thread running through all of it was visibility. The Centerfield team has access to real-time spend data, which means the finance team can have more strategic and proactive conversations with department leaders, instead of reactive and tactical ones. They're catching duplicate payments, identifying misaligned expenses, and being invited to the table before decisions are made, not after. Thank you to Alex and Karen for being so open about your experiences and learnings. I'm thrilled we got to share Centerfield's success story with Sage Intacct, Inc. attendees.

Craig DeMartini liked thisCraig DeMartini liked thisTax prep isn't for tax season. Now it's an operational discipline, says CPA, Faye Wang. I just finished reading an insightful piece Faye wrote about the shifting landscape of tax compliance. The takeaway is clear: with the IRS going digital-first and the introduction of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), finance teams can’t afford to be reactive anymore. Faye highlights how the most successful finance leaders are moving away from manual year-end scrambles toward year-round readiness. Key highlights from the article: ✅Threshold Shifts: Under the OBBBA, 1099-NEC/MISC reporting thresholds are jumping from $600 to $2,000 ✅The End of Paper: The IRS is phasing out paper checks and moving toward mandatory electronic payments ✅The "Touchless" Goal: Leverage AP automation and real-time TIN matching to stop errors before they happen ✅AI as a Shield: Use finance AI to catch behavioral anomalies and duplicate invoices that manual reviews miss Want a blueprint for building a digital-audit-ready finance function?

Craig DeMartini liked thisCraig DeMartini liked thisToday marks five years since AppLovin went public. AppLovin has always been a lean, product focused team. We win through execution. Over those five years, the path has been far from linear. We've operated through very different market environments and significant industry change. Through all of it, the team kept building. The business evolved meaningfully through the launch of Axon, the acquisition of MoPub, and expansion into ecommerce. In 2020, we were a mobile gaming + advertising business doing $1.5B in revenue and $346M in Adjusted EBITDA. By 2025, we're an AI-powered advertising platform doing $5.5B in revenue and $4.5B in Adjusted EBITDA, nearly 4x revenue growth and over 13x EBITDA growth, with margins expanding from ~24% to ~82%. AppLovin's growth hasn't come from scaling up sales and marketing. It's come from continued investment in deep neural networks and applying them at scale to drive results for advertisers - and it may be one of the most profitable applications of AI globally. That growth comes from hundreds of people who show up every day committed to the same founding principles: - Product first - Never stop hustling - Speed wins - Always pursue excellence - Lead by doing - Challenge the status quo Five years post IPO, the platform is stronger, the team is sharper, and the markets we're going after are bigger than ever. Very excited for the future.

“Our average rep hits 50% of quota.” Oof. That's not a rep problem. It's a process problem. If your SaaS sales team's performance is consistently unpredictable, you’re missing real gaps in your ops. Reps manually scoring leads in outdated CRMs. No automation for routing or segmentation. Etc. AI can help, but before you add it to the mix, you need to define 4 things for every sales process: ⭕ Who is responsible for the process ⭕ What tools are used to execute, track, and facilitate the process ⭕ The value the process brings to the organization ⭕ The cost of the process Analyze these details and you can to identify gaps that AI can help close. Performance doesn’t break at the report. It breaks in the workflow. Fix the gaps first. Then AI can do what it’s supposed to: make the system even smarter. ➕ Follow for more insights on using AI in your SaaS ops.

The Best Deals Aren’t Loud—They’re Just Harder to Find Deal flow hasn’t dried up—it’s gone private. In today’s early-stage market, the most compelling opportunities aren’t showing up in pitch threads or cold decks. They’re being shared quietly—through group chats, founder referrals, and trusted networks. We’re seeing a shift: • Fewer broad outreach rounds • More strategic stacking of checks • More time spent pre-round, not post-term sheet This is a return to signal over noise. Capital is still moving—just differently. Founders are optimizing for alignment. Investors are leaning on conviction, not momentum. 👇 If you're an investor, operator, or founder navigating this environment—we’re curating a high-signal network focused on real deals and real outcomes.

Most AEs spend their days reacting. To leads. To timing. To whatever hits their inbox next. But top performers don’t just react — they *engineer control.* They protect their time. They prepare with intent. They measure what matters. And they stay on the line. Sales Caddy gives you the guardrails to make that discipline repeatable — prompts that drive action, data that reinforces habits, and clarity that compounds. Because revenue doesn’t reward effort.

Execution Discipline for CROs and VPs of Sales
2K followers
Most SaaS sales organizations don’t struggle with execution rigor. They struggle with what happens after rigor is introduced. Deal standards improve. Qualification language tightens. Forecast calls sound sharper. But under pressure, something breaks. Coaching collapses back into deal inspection. Managers review what is happening, not why it keeps happening. Skill gaps stay invisible until results flatten. The system holds. The capability doesn’t. Execution rigor without enforced coaching standards eventually eats itself. Most CROs don’t see this as a leadership problem at first. It looks like noise. Or variance. Or a talent issue. By the time it’s obvious, the damage is already done.

Top SDR teams don’t rely on luck—they follow a repeatable system for cold emails that convert. • Personalization beats volume: Reference something specific about the prospect. • Clear value proposition: Focus on outcomes, not features. • Short and skimmable: 3–5 lines max, remove fluff. • One strong CTA: Make the next step obvious and easy. The difference between ignored emails and booked meetings is often just better copy. Tools like https://www.emareach.com/ help streamline personalization at scale without losing quality.

What happens when 12 CROs and Sales Directors who scaled SaaS companies from $1M to $40M ARR sit down at one table to discuss how not to screw up your US launch? 🇺🇸🇪🇺 Here’s what they all agreed on 👇 1️⃣ America-first mindset If you want to win the US, your whole company needs to think and speak US — from content to internal Slack. 2️⃣ Be there (without wasting millions) You don’t need to hire a fancy CRO from Adobe or a full BDR team. You need presence. Fly there, bring a local sparring partner to meetings, earn credibility by showing up. 3️⃣ Don’t get fooled by “VP titles” Many VP-level hires can present well, but can’t run discovery or update the CRM. Hire operators, not talkers. 4️⃣ Extreme focus on ICP Growth came when they ditched partner-led sales and went 100% direct. Outbound worked early on, but inbound took over once PMF and timing clicked. 5️⃣ Closing & aftercare matter more than you think US customers expect care — fast replies, small gifts, local time zone support. One CRO even sent cat-themed merch after a cat walked on a customer’s keyboard 🐈. It worked. 6️⃣ Local social proof wins deals US buyers trust G2, Clutch, and local case studies like restaurant ratings. If you’re planning to expand, start thinking like an American buyer before you sell to one. This was part of our SalesHeads Executive Dinner — a private meetup for SaaS sales leaders in Prague, London, and Amsterdam. 👉 Want to join next time? Comment or message us to get an invite.

SDRs are working harder than ever, but a few major roadblocks are slowing growth. Poor lead quality, outdated data, and outreach fatigue make it harder to connect with the right prospects. Modern teams need smarter systems, stronger automation, and clearer messaging to break through the noise.

🎥 The $1M Blind Spot in Every SaaS Sales Org Most SaaS leaders obsess over pipeline, tools, and pricing. But the biggest leak isn’t in your CRM — it’s in your people’s readiness. Every extra month your reps take to ramp quietly burns 7–12% of annual quota. Every missed coaching moment compounds into lost revenue. This is the Revenue Readiness Gap — the drag you don’t see on dashboards, but your P&L feels every day. Watch how high-growth SaaS orgs are solving it — not with more training, but with in-flow practice, feedback, and measurable readiness. 🎬 Episode 4: The Revenue Readiness Gap — The Blind Spot in SaaS Growth Because speed to capability = speed to revenue. #Readiness #SaaS #SalesEnablement #FutureOfWork #UpTroop #AI

Hiring in-house SDRs feels like the "safe" bet — until hidden costs, missed ramp targets, and inconsistent pipeline start quietly draining your budget.

Your data is either fueling growth… or funding failure. Sales leaders love to talk about closing rates, reply rates, and sequences. But here’s the truth: none of it matters if the foundation (your data) is cracked.
