ClickUp’s Jason Wooten on top sellers, procurement pressure, and leadership risk

Season 3 · Episode 34

Monday, May 11, 2026 • Duration 44:18

What do sharks and shepherds have to do with sales talent and performance? More than you might think. In this episode of The Sales Compensation Show, Jason Wooten, Head of Finance Operations at ClickUp, joins Forma.ai CEO Nabeil Alazzam for a conversation spanning sales talent, incentives, procurement, and leadership. Jason brings a rare Finance Ops lens to one of the biggest questions in revenue organizations: how do you scale top sales performance without accidentally turning your best sellers into leadership risks? The two discuss why quota attainment alone doesn’t prove someone is ready to manage others, why procurement pressure is often misinterpreted, and how companies can better retain top talent.

Expedia Group's sales compensation playbook: Designing for one direction

Season 3 · Episode 28

Monday, January 19, 2026 • Duration 40:23

Sales comp should be simple, fair, and aligned to strategy. But at enterprise scale, those “obvious” principles collide fast. In this episode, Nabeil Alazzam sits down with Sid Ganguly (Director, Global Compensation & Head of Sales Incentive Design at Expedia Group) to discuss what really holds up when you’re designing incentives for thousands of sellers. They dig into why “equitable” doesn’t mean endlessly custom, how comp either builds trust—or quietly erodes it—and get into a thought exercise on what dynamic, personalized incentives could look like in a future state where AI is deeply embedded and the data foundation exists.

Stop fixing comp plans—fix the system: Trustpilot’s approach to durable incentives

Season 3 · Episode 27

Monday, January 5, 2026 • Duration 36:48

Comp plans are usually the first thing to get blamed when growth stalls—because they’re where every upstream issue becomes impossible to ignore: messy territories, unclear roles, uneven segmentation, and sales motions that don’t match reality. In this episode, Nabeil Alazzam sits down with Kaleb Carter, Director of Sales Compensation – FP&A at Trustpilot, to share a more durable path forward: stop tinkering with comp plans and start fixing the connected system that produces comp outcomes in the first place. Listen in as Kaleb breaks down the shift from comp teams as “payroll processors” to strategic advisors and architects of behavior. He unpacks how to create stability by tightening the GTM foundations—segmentation, territories, targets, role clarity, and operating cadence—so your comp plan can execute cleanly, scale confidently, and earn real trust from both leaders and sellers.

Season 3 · Episode 26

Monday, December 15, 2025 • Duration 40:25

Imagine stepping into a new role leading sales compensation and within twenty days, the entire sales org gets paid wrong.

Listen in for insights on selling tough plan changes, being "Switzerland" as a sales comp leader, hot takes on attainment data, and what a 1,000-mile bike ride taught Gavin about transformation.

Aligning sales comp with strategy, not just products (with Stephen Long)

Season 3 · Episode 25

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 • Duration 31:30

In this episode of The Sales Compensation Show, global sales compensation expert Stephen Long joins Forma.ai CEO Nabeil Alazzam to unpack how senior leaders should really think about plan design. They dig into why over-rotating on products backfires, how to build a 3–5 year roadmap to account for needed data infrastructure, and what fair, explainable quota setting really looks like at scale. You’ll hear Stephen’s real-world examples of: - The biggest misses executives make in sales comp plan design, - Why you shouldn’t put money on anything you can’t track (and explain to reps), - The importance of a 3–5 year sales comp and infrastructure roadmap across Sales, RevOps, IT, and Finance, - A practical way to approach quota setting that reps actually trust, and - How complex crediting and pricing autonomy create gaming—and how to redesign around contract “health,” not just headline value.
