    30. AI in Enterprise Tech Go-to-Market with Mark Vigoroso (The Enterprise Edge)

    The theme of our 30th podcast episode is “AI in Enterprise Tech Go-to-Market: Why Enterprise GTM Will Never Be the Same”. Joining our host Jeremy Balius to discuss all things AI and Enterprise GTM is Mark Vigoroso from The Enterprise Edge. Summary In this episode, Mark Vigoroso joins host Jeremy Balius to unpack how AI, particularly local, containerized deployment models, is redefining enterprise go-to-market strategy. Mark explains how the SAP-NVIDIA partnership exemplifies the shift toward “local AI”, a model that allows enterprises to deploy AI securely, compliantly, and at scale without compromising data sovereignty. This architectural shift is enabling faster time to value and unlocking AI adoption in highly regulated sectors like healthcare, finance, and government. Mark argues that AI is not just transforming products. It’s reshaping buyer expectations and redefining how GTM teams must operate. As skepticism and scrutiny among buying committees grow, vendors must now prove not just value, but safety and trustworthiness. AI-led GTM demands deeper industry verticalization, outcome-based messaging, and a renewed focus on differentiation. Throughout the episode, Mark provides a clear, practical framework for go-to-market leaders who want to move beyond AI theatre and build sustainable, trusted growth in the enterprise space. About Mark Vigoroso Mark Vigoroso is the Founder and CEO of The Enterprise Edge, which equips B2B enterprise tech firms to grow, convert more funnel, increase M&A time-to-value and transform to sell as an advocate, not a vendor. Mark has 30 years of deep, full-spectrum experience across the B2B enterprise technology ecosystem - spanning software, services, marketplaces, and consulting. He’s a 360° operator with deep tech and operations VP practitioner roots (NCR), executive software / services / tech vendor GTM experience (Qualcomm, Verizon Wireless, Oracle, Servigistics/PTC), and analyst/consultant/advisor CxO roles (Aberdeen Group, Reed Elsevier, ERP Today). As a CEO, CRO, CCO and CMO, he’s repeatedly built and revitalized companies through strategic clarity, GTM reinvention, operational rigor, building and growing courageous cultures and teams, and humble leadership.

    29. HubSpot Marketing Operations with Jasz Rae Joseph (Jasz Rae Digital)

    The theme of our 20th podcast episode is “HubSpot Marketing Operations: How to Align RevOps Systems for Effective Go-to-Market”. Joining our host Jeremy Balius to discuss all things HubSpot and GTM is Jasz Rae Joseph from Jasz Rae Digital. Summary In this episode of Go-to-Market Playmakers, HubSpot and RevOps strategist Jasz Rae Joseph explains why Marketing Operations is the glue that aligns marketing, sales, and customer success around one revenue system. She breaks down how clean data, thoughtful lead routing, attribution, and reporting turn HubSpot from “just a CRM” into an all-in-one visibility engine that shows exactly what’s working, what’s not, and where to double down. Instead of tool-first thinking, Jasz advocates a strategy-first, crawl-walk-run approach: document the revenue goals, map the buying journey, and then configure HubSpot (and only the features you truly need) to support that motion. Jasz also shares practical playbooks for sales adoption without extra admin, email/calendar connections, sequences, and background tracking, so sellers spend more time selling while leadership gets closed-loop reporting. We cover dirty-data pitfalls, ownership and documentation, right-sizing deal stages and properties, intent + fit lead scoring, and how to use automation to warm leads before handoff. A real-world example shows the impact: nurturing existing database contacts via sequences added $1M in revenue with no new headcount required. About Jasz Rae Joseph Jasz Rae Joseph is a revenue strategist and HubSpot expert who helps B2B teams streamline their marketing and sales systems for real, measurable growth. With over a decade of experience spanning SEO, client strategy, and operations, Jasz founded her consultancy in 2021 to support scaling teams in getting more from the systems themselves. She’s known for her practical, systems-first approach to marketing that aligns directly with sales and business goals, cutting through complexity to drive real results.

Joining our host Jeremy Balius to discuss all things partner ecosystems is Chris Messina from Quarq. Summary Most partner teams are stuck in the shadows—lacking visibility, tools, and buy-in.

Chris shares his incredible personal journey and how it shaped his mission to bring credibility and accountability to ecosystem strategies.

Whether you lead a channel program or just believe partnerships are your company’s next big growth lever, this conversation offers a roadmap to ecosystem success and the data to prove it. Key topics covered: Why partner programs fail 90% of the time The power of measuring shared value, not just sourced revenue How to build executive trust and eliminate partner “invisibility” AI’s role in surfacing give-get opportunities Why the future C-suite may be led by ecosystem leaders   About Chris Messina Chris Messina is the founder and CEO of Quarq, the first AI platform built to measure the true value of partner ecosystems. After a decade watching partner programs fail due to shallow metrics and executive blind spots, Chris had enough—and built a platform that exposes the real impact partners have on KPIs like ARR, retention, and growth. Think of Quarq as a credit score for every partner, and a portfolio index for your entire ecosystem. An Army veteran, former police officer, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Chris brings relentless grit, sharp strategy, and zero tolerance for fluff. He’s on a mission to kill vanity metrics, hold partner teams accountable, and prove—once and for all—that partnerships are the most undervalued growth engine in tech. Whether you’re scaling an ecosystem or just trying to survive one, Chris is here to change the game… and he’s not asking for permission.
