Just days before Atlassian’s $425M acquisition of Trello, we sat down with Kristen Habacht, VP of Sales, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale a freemium SaaS sales org.
We cover:
How Trello’s sales team evolved from full-stack to role specialization
Why they simplified their commission structure
The realities of selling a freemium product—and why BANT doesn’t work
Managing remote sales teams long before it was the norm
What Kristen wishes she knew earlier
Whether you’re running SMB, enterprise, or product-led GTM, this episode is packed with battle-tested insights from one of SaaS’s most interesting growth stories.
